SPRING HILL FARM –
A Storied Vermont Estate with Timeless Appeal
Set amidst the rolling hills of Barnard, Vermont, Spring Hill Farm is a distinguished country estate where historic charm and thoughtful stewardship come together across 207 acres of beautifully maintained landscape.
Anchoring the property is a stately brick residence dating to 1795, offering a refined sense of heritage and permanence. A later addition introduces a striking post-and-beam great room, with soaring cathedral ceilings and a fieldstone fireplace that brings warmth, scale, and a sense of rustic elegance to the home’s traditional architecture. The result is a sophisticated yet approachable interior, ideal for both intimate gatherings and relaxed everyday living.
The grounds are equally compelling. A series of manicured ponds adds visual interest and tranquility, drawing wildlife and reflecting the changing sky. Meandering through the property is a spring-fed stream, born from the estate’s namesake natural spring, which courses gently across the land—its flow punctuated by small waterfalls that lend both movement and music to the landscape. This dynamic water feature elevates the setting with a sense of vitality and timelessness.
The estate also includes a variety of well-preserved outbuildings, each with its own character and purpose: a six-bay barn with an attached stable, a charming potting shed, the original sugar house, and a recently renovated guest cabin nestled in a quiet meadow. From the cabin, take in broad mountain views, where sunrise and sunset unfold in full, uninterrupted beauty.
While the estate enjoys gentle visibility within the surrounding landscape, it offers a unique sense of openness, rhythm, and retreat—perfect for those seeking a connection to land, light, and legacy.

Woodstock, Vermont is the quintessential New England historic town. It sits in a valley surrounded by low-lying hills that nestle rather than overwhelm, and is a community snuggled around the Ottauquechee River. Woodstock is home to many excellent shops and restaurants, the Woodstock Inn & Resort, a great middle and high school, and it never fails to serve as an incredible place to go for a walk or meet someone for coffee.
Those who choose to reside near Woodstock continue to be some of the most educated in the world, some of the most accomplished “captains of industry” in the country. You’ll find filmmakers, war correspondents, writers, artists, military experts, doctors, high-tech entrepreneurs, rock stars, equestrians and happy soccer moms and dads all grabbing a coffee in town. Woodstock also attracts its fair share of Dutch, English and French, many of whom are reminded of home by the gentle hills, winding dirt roads, cows, sheep and horses in pastures next to beautiful weathered barns. Even if it’s not the old country, it has the feel of a place with deep roots.

Quechee is the site of Quechee Gorge on the Ottauquechee River and is also the home to the Quechee Lakes planned community initiated in the late 1960s, which brought to the community the small Quechee Lakes Ski Area in the 1970s. The ski area has 13 trails and 3 lifts. Perched atop the falls of the Ottauquechee River, overlooking a covered bridge, Simon Pearce offers glassblowing demonstrations, a renowned restaurant, and new bar. In addition to the restaurant at Simon Pearce, The Parker House is another great option for dining.
