Listed By: John Snyder || 802-280-5406 (cell) || john.snyder@snyderdonegan.com
WARNER HILL – is a stunning, private (gated) compound estate property - located just 5 minutes from South Woodstock in an area of other substantial homes and estates. The land component of Warner Hill offers complete privacy and beautiful views from the main residence across the lower pond towards distant hills, lawns and gardens, open fields, trails for hiking/biking/horseback riding and a beautiful heated outdoor pool at the end of a row of ancient maple trees. The spring-fed and trout-stocked upper pond has a summer gazebo and hot-tub, just steps from the back door. In addition to the main residence (c 1776), the historic barn has been renovated into a wonderful heated barn-house/gathering space with bedrooms and baths and a large outdoor entertaining deck area overlooking the lower pond. Below the barn-house - nearby but out of sight - is a newer construction 3 bedroom cottage, which would be perfectly suited as an au pair, guest or caretakers house. The property has other outbuildings and living spaces, and a private drive directly off of VT 106. This property has been in the same family for over a century and is offered on more or less acreage. (for example: $5,895,000 on approx. 100 acres; $7,495,000 on approx 200 acres; $7,795,000 on approx 235 acres.)

Reading
Have you ever heard of the Vermont Alps? Yes, it sounds strange. But, think of the scenery from that movie The Sounds of Music - open pastures with views, green hills with well-worn paths up where dairy cows come to meet you at the fence and places where you want to spin around in a ridiculously dizzying manner. Maybe you just want to jump on your horse and gallop down dirt roads through an arbor of Maple trees. No billboards, no skyscrapers, just the fresh air, land and sky. The place for all this is Reading, Vermont. For horse lovers, Reading (pronounced Redd-ing) also happens to border two equestrian capitals of the region, South Woodstock and West Windsor.

Woodstock, Vermont is the quintessential New England historic town. It sits in a valley surrounded by low-lying hills that nestle rather than overwhelm, and is a community snuggled around the Ottauquechee River. Woodstock is home to many excellent shops and restaurants, the Woodstock Inn & Resort, a great middle and high school, and it never fails to serve as an incredible place to go for a walk or meet someone for coffee.
Those who choose to reside near Woodstock continue to be some of the most educated in the world, some of the most accomplished “captains of industry” in the country. You’ll find filmmakers, war correspondents, writers, artists, military experts, doctors, high-tech entrepreneurs, rock stars, equestrians and happy soccer moms and dads all grabbing a coffee in town. Woodstock also attracts its fair share of Dutch, English and French, many of whom are reminded of home by the gentle hills, winding dirt roads, cows, sheep and horses in pastures next to beautiful weathered barns. Even if it’s not the old country, it has the feel of a place with deep roots.

Quechee is the site of Quechee Gorge on the Ottauquechee River and is also the home to the Quechee Lakes planned community initiated in the late 1960s, which brought to the community the small Quechee Lakes Ski Area in the 1970s. The ski area has 13 trails and 3 lifts. Perched atop the falls of the Ottauquechee River, overlooking a covered bridge, Simon Pearce offers glassblowing demonstrations, a renowned restaurant, and new bar. In addition to the restaurant at Simon Pearce, The Parker House is another great option for dining.

Hanover is home to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, boutique shopping outlets, fabulous food, and more. One of its main attractions is Dartmouth College (one of the Ivy Leagues and the ninth oldest college in the nation), and in part due to its youthful atmosphere, the town enjoys a lively, 'New England cosmopolitan' business district. Hanover offers an incredible mix of activities from access to the White and Green Mountains to its arts and culture community not to mention the obvious intellectual benefits found in a college town.
