Travel a mile south of Woodstock Village on Church Hill Road
and you’ll discover a rural refuge that combines seclusion with proximity to
village life. Two dwellings, a modern home, and a separate cottage sheltered by
woodland are discreetly sited overlooking a sparkling two-acre spring-fed pond.
Each residence offers three bedrooms and two baths with open floor plans and single-level
living. The 2400 square-foot main house was designed to integrate indoors with
the outdoors with light-filled rooms stepping out to lovely established gardens
and a terrace paved with massive stones above the pond. The great room with a cathedral
ceiling and a bright, spacious kitchen both provide welcoming gathering spaces.
A screened porch with a built-in grill cove can be enjoyed during three
seasons. The 1500-square-foot cozy cottage is centered on a relaxed family room
with a fireplace adapted for more efficient woodstove use. From its hilltop
position, the cottage’s expansive deck offers views over an open meadow and
down the valley to Mt. Tom. A detached workshop studio and a light-filled
writer’s cabin further complete the property’s serene setting.
