1106 Church Hill RoadWoodstock, VT 05091Price: $1,895,000

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 cathedral ceiling and a bright, spacious kitchen both provide welcoming gathering spaces. A screened porch with 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.
