With half a mile of river frontage at the foot of our property, Adams Hill House has some of the most beautiful foliage anywhere in the North East. I personally have traveled the entire state during foliage season, only to come home and find the best foliage right outside the window.
While you may be longing for Italy or the South of France, you can have your cake and eat it too. Adams HIll House gives you an old world feel and elegance, but you don't have to take the time to travel. Look no further than this estate in Southern Vermont. In the time it would take you to board a plane, you can be here in beautiful South Newfane!
This magical, very private luxury home is secluded, yet located close to everything Southern Vermont has to offer: hiking, swimming, skiing, kayaking, bike trails, music, art galleries and restaurants.
f you love to cook, the organic farms and well supplied grocery stores and French gourmet stove will entrance you. There are herbs growing in the kitchen garden.
Architecturally stunning Southern European style, artistically crafted using reclaimed architectural elements and wood and stone taken from the property, Adams Hill House is decorated in an eclectic, timeless style, as you can see from the photos. Furnished with custom made, modern and antique furnishings, a large contemporary art collection and oriental rugs, the interior of the house is a visual feast. Outside, several terraces and decks provide many spots to sit and read or just take in the view.
The house has exceptional light, views and privacy, suitable for a family, group of friends or colleagues who wish an exclusive retreat without crowds. The drive to the property can be gated if the guests require extra security. With long West (sunset) and sunny South views, you are surrounded by nature and can enjoy the ever-changing clouds and weather.
The first and second floors of the house comprise 5,500 square feet/five hundred square meters. The upper floor has 2 master bedroom suites with sitting areas and two smaller “family” bedrooms, each with a queen or king bed. Each bedroom has its own en-suite luxury marble bath or half bath - a 4 or 6 piece bath adjoining the two master suites, and a half bath dedicated to each family bedroom.
The entry-level main floor is comprised of a suite of flowing, open rooms - a gracious 30’ entryway full of art, a huge gourmet kitchen filled with light with table space for 10 to enjoy breakfast together or prepare a meal as a group. The cooking arrangements include a wide range of gourmet cookware, a La Canche French professional stove, two prep sinks and two dishwashers. There is a fireplace in the kitchen, which makes winter nights a joy.
In summer, dine outside on the pergola and watch the sunset, or sit in the shaded back yard off the kitchen to beat the heat.
The formal dining room is connected to the kitchen and the two large living rooms. It has a small terrace outside French doors where the hot tub invites you to watch the sunset or enjoy a starry night.
The living rooms consist of a 32’ west facing sitting room with several sofas and chairs and the large TV. The sunsets from this room are spectacular.
The adjoining interior living room has a magnificent stone fireplace, huge coffee table for playing games or putting together a puzzle and 28’ ceilings, open to the 2nd floor balcony-art gallery-hallway above.
The house is situated on twenty-five private acres with a view to the ridge 4 miles beyond. Nearby neighbors - a quarter mile away - are completely screened by trees. Many days, you feel that you are alone in the world! Birdsong and the wind in the trees are your constant companions.
The entire estate has a timeless quality that usually comes only from generations of family and many renovations. The property borders a twenty-foot wide, crystal clear river for half a mile, which you can hear from most rooms until hard-freeze in winter. There is a swimmable pool area under one of the two waterfalls, directly below the house.
As with old-world estates, a family member generally lives in a caretaker's apartment on the ground floor, providing you with property management in the style of 5-star hotels and luxury properties around the world. Your privacy and peaceful enjoyment of the estate is our paramount concern.
Charming, casually elegant, secluded and private, yet 'the world is only a short drive away - private airport, skiing, restaurants and shopping. With our practice of composting, recycling and use of careful, ecologically sound cleaning products, go back in time and enjoy a pristine environment here on the property for your family's health. You will have a wonderful, relaxing vacation, surrounded by nature.
Staying at Adams Hill House provides an experience very similar to country estate properties in the UK and Europe.
We hope to see you soon.
