[New] Suite Spots

BY MARIA LAPIANA

Star Turn

Christopher Lang says there isn’t one special thing about this property, known as Star Hill Farm, in South Woodstock, Vermont. There are many special things—too many to mention, says the listing agent, but he gives it a go: the gracious 11,000-square-foot post-and-beam main house, the charming two-bedroom guesthouse, the party barn, pond, and massive gymnasium—all set on nearly 184 acres of rolling terrain with trails, stone walls, meadows, pastures, forests, and springs. Going for a classic Vermont vibe, the current owners completed the main residence in 2010, using lots of wood and other natural materials. Altogether, there are seven en suite bedrooms. A wood-burning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace is the center- piece of the vaulted primary suite, which opens onto a private deck. A walk-in closet separates the room from its bath, which features a brushedsteel freestanding tub, double shower, and radiant heat in the floor and walls. In addition to all those bedrooms, the house includes a second-floor game room and an eight-bed bunk room. A four-story windowed turret houses a wine cellar at its base and multiuse spaces above, while a steel-framed classic gambrel barn serves as the gymnasium designed for a variety of in- door sports; underneath is a heated six-car garage, mudroom, and bathroom. And one more thing: if you like the idea of moving right in, this home can also be purchased fully furnished.
