The residence is comprised of a hand-hewn Vermont timber frame c.1799, that was carefully disassembled from its original location elsewhere in Vermont, moved and reconstructed on its current site by the present owner. In 2020, a vaulted-ceiling great room addition was carefully constructed, keeping with the aesthetic of the original home - to create a wonderful gathering/entertaining space. Every attention to detail was given in the finishing of the residence, as closely as possible to its original design and proportions including the center-stack fireplaces and window designs. Five fireplaces in total. Yet it is thoroughly modern in all mechanical and structural respects including underground power and whole-house backup generator. A second historical timber frame carriage barn was also attached and serves as a walk-in garage. A separate barn garage is below the house. The land component of High Meadows is extraordinary, including +/- 183 acres of open fields and pastures, carefully managed woodlands, and two ponds - all subject to a Vermont Current Use Conservation Plan. Privately situated yet easy access to Barnard, Woodstock, Hanover NH (Dartmouth), Killington and private airport are just a 30-40 minutes drive.
