This meticulously maintained 30-acre estate features specimen trees, lush gardens, a serene lily pond, expansive terraces, and breathtaking pastoral views, providing unmatched privacy and tranquility. The custom-built home, crafted by a top regional builder, has been celebrated in design magazines and garden tours, earning a Garden Club of America award for its sustainable and thoughtful use of materials. Constructed with sustainable, low-maintenance materials, this house stands as a testament to enduring quality and environmental stewardship. The estate is now available for those seeking an exceptional living experience.

The visionary behind Meadow Wood embodies the spirit of the property. The current owners seamlessly blended classical architecture, fine craftsmanship, and eco-sensitive, health-conscious materials. The commitment to sustainable building is evident throughout Meadow Wood. The main house features a practical one-story design with 3,474 square feet of living space, and fourteen-foot ceilings, providing a spacious and airy feel. The eight-room structure utilizes green materials and construction practices.

Approached by a long drive lined with mature Scarlet Oaks and springtime masses of daffodils, the main house is hidden from the road, ensuring complete seclusion. The entry courtyard, adorned with specimen crabapple trees, stone walls, and a meandering walkway, leads to this exquisite single-level home. The exterior walls, draped with climbing hydrangea, blur the lines between structure and nature—a recurring motif throughout the property that enhances its peaceful ambiance.

The grand entry foyer sets the tone for the house, connecting to an enfilade of southern-facing rooms filled with natural light. These rooms, featuring large windows and French doors, invite both the warmth of the winter sun and the refreshing breeze of the fair months. Each room offers extensive views of the gardens and pastoral landscape.

To the east of the foyer lies the living room, with high coffered ceilings and a fireplace adorned with grand tour columns. Adjacent is the primary suite, opening onto a private terrace and lawn. This suite, with velvet-covered walls, dual bathrooms, and a steam shower, is a sanctuary of comfort and elegance, complete with a soaking tub that overlooks the picturesque surroundings.

The west side of the entry hall houses a large eat-in kitchen with high ceilings and a coveted AGA range. French doors open onto a bluestone patio, offering views of the lily pond and fields. The kitchen area includes a butler’s pantry, extensive storage, and a mudroom leading to the back door and basement, which features a laundry room, storage areas, a cedar closet, a wine room, and a spacious finished room.

The house’s far west end enjoys perfect evening light, housing a cozy sitting room and a smaller office/library space. Another library, located between the guest room and the larger office/sitting room, features custom floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. The larger office opens to a private courtyard garden, a serene space that could easily be reconfigured as a family room or additional sitting area.
