Private and exquisite Vermont Gentleman's farm on 104 acres within three miles of Woodstock Village
Uphill Farm is the Vermont farm, perfected. It is an idealized Vermont landscape, protected by abutting conserved land, with each of the components: meadows, views, ponds, ski hill, brook, red barn, cow pastures and ancient maple trees… on a manageable scale. From the air, the artists’ palette of green rolling meadows, and managed landscapes begin to tell the story of the exceptional detail of Uphill Farm. To fully understand the quiet excellence of this property, one needs to experience it in person. There is a magic to the place.
We are struck by the effect Uphill Farm has on visitors. They step out of their cars, take a big, deep breath and just stand quietly for a minute. They visibly relax and their shoulders drop as they take in the clean air and the sounds of the breeze in the big old sugar maples and the brook down the hill. And so it begins…
The current stewards of this farm took great care in keeping the property fresh without interfering with its sense of place and history.

Main residence is a 5564 sq ft expanded/renovated post and beam farmhouse
The renovated and expanded c1805 Post and Beam main residence has all the expected luxury amenities, with tremendous craftsmanship and Vermont farm character. The main house is manageable for a couple, but expands to accommodate children and guests due to its well-designed floor plan. The main living space includes open areas that flow well to accommodate today’s lifestyle with plenty of light and top of the line amenities. The ground floor master suite is separate enough from the main living areas to afford privacy, but close enough to accommodate a young family. Amenities are as one would expect for a property of this caliber. The kitchen, for example, comes equipped to serve a crowd with two Dacor wall ovens, two SubZero refrigerators, and two Bosch dishwashers. The library has a stone fireplace and French doors that lead to the summer dining porch, and SubZero wine cooler. The elegant billiard room features cherry raised panel molding, fireplace surround, coffered ceiling, built-in cabinetry, a wet bar and bay window overlooking the rear yard and pool. The master bath has a jetted tub with marble surround and heated towel racks.

The artfully crafted Gunite pool and spa includes a cascading waterfall and heated terrace
The master suite also has a dressing room with two cedar closets, and wonderful big marble tub. The outdoor living touches are also remarkable with several covered porches and patios to choose from. The nature-scape pool with cascading waterfall and spa offers respite after a day of being out and about the farm and the pool terraces are heated to keep your feet warm on your way to a soak.
Ample guest accommodation is provided by the open and airy three story 19th century farmhouse at Down The Hill Farm, which also features an elegantly updated floor plan and amenities, and can comfortably sleep a couple or a big extended family. Both residences are offered completely furnished and the extensive inventory of farm equipment, vehicles and carriages convey with property as well. The new owner need only bring a toothbrush!

Renovated in 2008, stable has 6 box stalls, cedar shake roof, cedar doors and teak and copper walls.
The multiple barns are well equipped for horses and provide ample storage and opportunity for creative and functional endeavors.
There are so many opportunities for a family and friends to enjoy the property, from casual meals in the open and bright kitchen to a big celebration in the huge Down the Hill loft, sugaring at the sugar house, skiing with the snow cat on the little ski hill, mountain biking, cross-country skiing or horseback riding on the beautifully maintained trails, fishing in the brook and ponds, quietly gathering herbs and flowers in the charming fenced kitchen garden, a barbeque in the outdoor kitchen followed by an evening of friendly competition in the billiard room, or curling up by the fireplaces with a good book. The tour is not complete without mentioning that this private escape is within three miles of everything the charming village of Woodstock has to offer, and a quick hop over the hill to a great day of skiing at Killington or a fun family day at Suicide Six. This is a true dream farm.
