Set on 54 exceptionally private acres, Long Way Hill is a a quietly luxurious Vermont country retreat overlooking a half-acre pond, with sweeping lawns, gardens, fields, and woodland trails. It is located minutes from Silver Lake and Twin Farms, and 15 minutes from Woodstock. Designed by David Beilman and built by Savelberg Construction in 2006, the home is defined by its high craftsmanship--beautifully detailed, high ceilings, and informed by the understated elegance of New England architecture. The home is both gracious and comfortable, created for gathering. A dramatic great room with vaulted ceiling and floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors the main level, while a well-appointed gourmet kitchen with eat-in dining, butler’s pantry, and generous workspace invites connection and ease. A spacious living room with a fireplace and dining-sitting area, and a private library/office add warmth and versatility. Five en suite bedrooms, thoughtfully arranged over the second and third floors, offer privacy and separation, complemented by a four-story elevator. The lower level offers a game-theatre room, fitness space with sauna, and additional recreation areas. A separate two-bedroom apartment with full kitchen and laundry accommodates guests. Outdoors, perennial and wildflower gardens unfold from spring through fall, surrounding open porches, a screened porch, and a hot tub overlooking the pond. Wildlife, birdsong, and star-filled skies define the setting. Top-tier mechanical systems, central AC, whole-house generator, and high-speed fiber connectivity. The property is meticulously maintained.
