“HIGH MEADOWS”
"High Meadows" is set on a private and pristine Vermont hillside comprising 183 acres overlooking magnificent meadows and two ponds with exceptional long-range Vermont mountain views. The residence is comprised of a hand-hewn Vermont timber frame c.1799, that was carefully disassembled from its original location elsewhere in Vermont, moved and reconstructed on its current site by the present owner. In 2020, a vaulted-ceiling great room addition was carefully constructed, keeping with the aesthetic of the original home - to create a wonderful gathering/entertaining space. Every attention to detail was given in the finishing of the residence, as closely as possible to its original design and proportions including the center-stack fireplaces and window designs. There are five fireplaces in total. Yet it is thoroughly modern in all mechanical and structural respects including underground power and whole-house backup generator. A second historical timber frame carriage barn was also attached and serves as a walk-in garage. A separate barn garage is below the house. The land component of High Meadows is extraordinary, including +/- 183 acres of open fields and pastures, carefully managed woodlands, and two ponds - all subject to a Vermont Current Use Conservation Plan. Privately situated yet easy access to Barnard, Woodstock, Hanover NH (Dartmouth), Killington and private airport are just a 30-40 minutes drive.

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.

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.
