About this home
"BENEDICT HILL" - sited on 38 acres on a quiet gravel road in a premier location in South Woodstock is this truly classic Vermont estate property. Excellent equestrian / horse potential with historic 5-stall barn and fencing for pastures/paddocks already in place. The land component is comprised of split-rail fence lined pastures, meadows, woodlands, giant maple trees, ancient stone walls and gardens. The main “Stone House” c. 1820 - with period details and 10’ ceilings has 4 bedrooms, 3 full and 2 half-baths, gourmet kitchen, a library-den, a wonderful living room and 3 fireplaces on the main level. A stone patio/covered porch spans the rear of the house, and a 2-car attached garage. The original barn was renovated into a fully finished barn/guest house comprised of a fabulous great room with 30-foot ceilings and stone fireplace, kitchen and dining areas. Open stairs lead up to a loft primary-bedroom and bath. Downstairs is a rec/family room, 2 bedrooms and full bath. The present owners have just completed many renovations. This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most special, pastoral Vermont properties to come on the market in years - yet is just 5 mins to the hamlet of South Woodstock, 12 mins to the Woodstock village green, and 20-30 mins to I-89, Hanover/Dartmouth and points beyond.
