🏡 Why It Caught My Eye
Just five minutes from the charming Woodstock Village Green, this one-of-a-kind estate is the private residence of renowned builder Hank Savelberg—his personal masterpiece. Set atop a serene hillside with sweeping views of Vermont’s rolling terrain, this home reads more like a love letter to craftsmanship than a simple residence.
What sets it apart isn’t just the location or layout—it’s the storytelling in the architecture. Everywhere you look, you’ll find rich mahogany and cherry wood, dramatic glass walls, and custom stonework sourced from the local landscape. Every beam and built-in feels intentional.
Despite its whimsical charm, the home is also deeply functional, with well-connected indoor and outdoor spaces designed for easy entertaining, cozy mornings, and peaceful retreats. Add in a guest cottage, a horse barn, a garage, and garden sheds—and suddenly, it’s not just a home. It’s a fully realized homestead with room to roam.
✨ Design Details I Love
- Dramatic Wooden Ceilings & Glass Walls: Sweeping ceilings paired with expansive windows bring the Vermont landscape right into the home. It feels like you’re living inside a painting.
- Builder’s Touch Throughout: From clever built-ins to custom cabinetry, everything was handcrafted with care and precision. This isn’t cookie-cutter—it’s character-driven.
- Outdoor Integration: The terraces, gardens, and pond feel like natural extensions of the home. Each view, especially to the northeast, is framed like art.
- Detached Guest House: A perfect retreat for visitors—or a caretaker’s cottage with total privacy.
- Livable Luxury: While beautifully curated, the home remains warm and grounded, making it feel like a place you can truly live, not just admire.
