Ferme Merrily

Nestled in amongst flowering lilacs, ancient apple trees,
and terraced English perennial gardens, this lovingly restored classic antique
stone cape has all the conveniences of modern living, while honoring and
preserving the charming period detail. Built in 1860, the home is an impressive
example of snecked ashlar stone construction, which was introduced to this
region by Scottish immigrants in the early 1800’s. The rooms are spacious,
bright and inviting with exposed hand- hewn beams and pine plank floors running
throughout. The updated country kitchen with soapstone counters connects to a
cozy reading room with bookshelves and wood stove, and a utility/mudroom with ¾
bath, and laundry. The formal dining room offers plenty of space for
gatherings. The front to back Living Room is anchored by a woodburning
fireplace, and steps out to a private sunroom, and a guest room/office. Moving
upstairs, there are four bedrooms and a bathroom. The 18thcentury hip roofed,
post and beam English bank barn has a huge, sweeping loft space ideal for
parties and entertaining. The lower level can accommodate animals, hobbies or a
home occupation. The barn is surrounded by lush green pastures, and rail
fencing which lead you to a network of beautiful trails for hiking. A short
stroll to The Kedron Valley Inn, KV Pond, The South Woodstock Store, and Green
Mountain Horse Assn. A five-minute drive to the Woodstock Village Green. Easy
access to Hanover, DHMC, skiing, golf, dining, shopping and recreation.
