In the heart of Vermont’s Green Mountains, on over 30 acres of open pastures, StoneMeadow is an authentically reproduced 2nd period American Stone Cape with clapboard additions created by aficionados of the form and its history. Custom-built and completed in 2010, a secure gated entry and private drive lead to an elevated position from which the approach, the four-stall horse barn, and most of the 33 acres can be observed. The home is sited to take full advantage of southeastern exposure and local views. Executed with a devotion to the highest and most exacting degree of reproduction, the owners looked to the classic 1780s Capes constructed by Scots craftsmen that dot Windsor County; the National Register of Historic Places refers to this part of Windsor County as “the stone house belt of Vermont.” Seamlessly combining a convincing period experience inside and out, with the state-of-the-art systems and amenities that can only be found in 21st-century construction, the owners employed their four decades of housewright experience in the property’s creation. From hand-chamfered white pine floors finished with square-head, forged nails, hand-planed surfaces, and hand-struck hardware, to the highest-grade kitchen including French cooktop, warming drawers, and steam oven, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, all overlooking the ducks, pond, and waterfall, StoneMeadow is an incomparable home in one of Vermont’s most well-loved towns, an ark of safety and the ideal country retreat
