Property Description
Peacock Hollow, a c.1790 completely private estate, is gracefully sited on 29.9 acres surrounded by sweeping mountain views, a running stream, and bordered by the forest. This rare offering combines historic character with refined updates, creating a legacy property designed for both intimate living and grand entertaining. The 5,500 square foot main residence offers five beautifully appointed bedrooms, five fireplaces, original wood and marble floors, and handsome moldings throughout. The home has been thoughtfully expanded to include a sun-filled country kitchen with custom cabinetry, formal and informal dining rooms, a library, family room, and multiple living spaces that open to marble terraces and gardens. Enhancing the estate are extraordinary amenities, including a marble in-ground swimming pool with stone terrace, a tennis court, and a one-bedroom caretaker's cottage with attached garage for on-site management or guest overflow. A 2,400 square foot three-bedroom guest house, created from the original c.1796 post-and-beam barn, blends historic charm with modern comfort. A goat and chicken barn, equipment barn, and a separate 30' x 60' seven-bay toy and car barn provide abundant storage and the opportunity for a true Vermont farmstead lifestyle or a spectacular car collection. The grounds are equally captivating, featuring mature landscaping, open meadows, orchards, perennial gardens, and stone walls. Pergolas, walkways, and extensive marble terraces.
