THE POND AT WILLEY HILL- Nestled on a private 17-acre retreat, The Pond at Willey Hill is a quintessentially picturesque estate just a stone’s throw away from Norwich, Hanover, and the best of the Upper Valley. Featuring a wildlife-rich pond as its center, the beautifully landscaped grounds offer seasonal long-range views, a pool, woodland trail, and a park-like fenced area. Expertly renovated by renowned builders O’Hara & Gercke, the result is a seamless blend of luxury, charm, and comfort. The sunlit gourmet kitchen is both functional and elegant and commands breathtaking views of the pond, while the adjoining living room features a striking stone fireplace for cozy winter respite and opens to a sizable deck for year-round enjoyment and entertainment. The main floor also includes a library/bedroom and a guest bedroom with scenic views of the lovely grounds. Upstairs, the spa-like primary suite is immersed in nature, with sunrise views over the pond and a luxurious soaking tub beneath the sky. A second ensuite bedroom completes the level. On the lower level is a spacious family room opening to a stone patio plus a multi-purpose room that can be used as either a bedroom or office. A separate two-bedroom guest house with a strong rental history adds versatility and possibility to the property. Both homes come equipped with whole-house generators and a detached four-bay garage for ample storage. This exceptional estate is a rare combination of convenience and luxury in a highly desirable locale.

Norwich
Norwich was recently voted as the #1 Best Place to Live in Vermont by Niche.com. The quaint and picturesque town has a population of approximately 3,400 people. Its close proximity to Hanover, and its many historic buildings and attractions such as The Norwich Inn, Blue Sparrow Kitchen, and King Arthur Flour, make it a very desirable place to live. As one New York Times article described, “With a main street lined with white clapboard colonial buildings and a landmark steepled church, Norwich could be a set designer’s renderings of a tiny New England village.”

Hanover is home to Dartmouth Health, boutique shopping outlets, fabulous food, and more. One of its main attractions is Dartmouth College (one of the Ivy Leagues and the ninth oldest college in the nation), and in part due to its youthful atmosphere, the town enjoys a lively, 'New England cosmopolitan' business district. Hanover offers an incredible mix of activities from access to the White and Green Mountains to its arts and culture community not to mention the obvious intellectual benefits found in a college town.

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.
