About this home

Hart’s Crossing is a home and a haven featuring a custom 21st-century residence and a comprehensively restored Civil War-era guest house, set on 418 acres of private land. The property provides a refuge in nature, with a kingdom-sized backyard to explore and adventures that change with the seasons. Located at the end of a town-maintained road, the property is a 10-minute drive from either Woodstock Village or the Upper Connecticut River Valley to access the conveniences and necessities of life, yet a century away from the inconveniences, in a peaceful sanctuary. The airy and light-filled 5-bedroom main residence sits on a plateau overlooking the Ottauquechee and White River Valleys to the east and north, with sweeping views to the south along the Connecticut River through walls of windows. The historic farmhouse has been reimagined as a comfortable 2-bedroom guest cottage, featuring exposed timber framing accented by a modern kitchen and bath, with a screened porch and wide deck alongside a refreshing, spring-fed swimming pond. Nearby is a multipurpose barn with a caretaker’s apartment for farm and recreational purposes. The property is enrolled in Vermont’s Current Use program, intended to help large landowners preserve the working landscape with a professional land management plan and a reduction in property taxes as consideration. There are miles of trails enabling access to the entire property for hiking, biking, snowmobiling, and simply wandering without a watch. At the end of Sugar House Road, you’ll discover the best of today, thoughtfully combined with the timeless values of yesterday.
