Brown Harris Stevens

Tucked away just three miles from the heart of Woodstock, this timeless 1845 farmhouse is a rare and soulful offering. The property is nestled on 1.8 acres of artfully landscaped gardens, all framed by dramatic rock ledges and outcroppings. At the heart of the property is the beautifully restored main home and a striking 700-square-foot heated yurt. The yurt is seamlessly integrated into the garden landscape and accessed via a second-story walkway or its garden path. The main house is rich with character and light, offering a sophisticated blend of rustic charm and thoughtful updates. The chef's kitchen is a standout, featuring soapstone countertops, a Smeg refrigerator, French doors to the garden, and warm maple floors that shine. A beamed living room with a wood-burning stove is filled with golden light and original details, from the cheerful poppy-red Dutch door to wide-board floors and handcrafted organic wood blinds. A charming half bath completes the easy, guest-friendly layout. The adjacent dining room delights with classic toile-style wallpaper and feels plucked from a storybook - elegant yet cozy, ideal for intimate dinners or morning coffee. Upstairs, the primary suite is a serene sanctuary with cathedral-beamed ceilings, tree-filtered light, and an elegant ensuite bath with marble tile, porcelain fixtures, and a soaking tub. Two additional bedrooms, each with unique features, offer flexible space for guests or creative use. One features a lofty mezzanine perfect for a reading nook, playroom, or office. The third bedroom features an en-suite bath and opens directly to the yurt, creating the ideal indoor-outdoor living experience. The yurt itself is a stunning space for artists, musicians, yoga practitioners, or anyone seeking a spacious studio or serene workspace. With hardwood floors, French doors, custom windows, and a wraparound deck with sweeping views of the surrounding landscape, it's a space that invites inspiration. Outside, the mature Euro-Mediterranean garden unfolds like a living tapestry. Enter through a Persian-style arbor into a rose garden often visited by local house finches. Bluestone paths and patios wind through an abundant mix of perennials, culinary and medicinal herbs, and over two dozen peony bushes. Fruit trees - including peach, apple, pawpaw, quince, plum, medlar, and Cornelian cherry - provide both seasonal beauty and edible delight. Raspberry canes and black and red currants add to the bounty. Atop the property, the untouched woodland provides habitat for native wildlife and is home to wild blueberries growing beneath shagbark hickory, oak, pine, and witch hazel. A potting shed and an additional newer shed offer functional support for both gardening and storage, rounding out this uniquely captivating offering. Live immersed in beauty, history, and nature - just minutes from one of the most celebrated small towns in the country. This is Woodstock living at its most inspired.
