Property Description

If privacy and a magical setting is what you are looking for you need to look no further Auger Hole is what you are searching for. Hidden away at the end of a town maintained road one will find the historic stone cape that was built for Vermont Senator Delano in 1815 by the well know Wardner family of Boston . Senator Delano wanted a stone cape built with European style details . The two fireplaces on each end of the large great room with exposed beams are examples of this early style. The site was chosen for the view of Mt. Ascutney and the protection of the surrounding hills. The 36.5 acres are comprised of mature woodlands and open meadows. The large spring fed pond is perfect for swimming on hot summer days and ice skating in the winter. In recent years a modern 2 bedroom house was added to the grounds . Large windows were used to bring the magnificent outside in .The downstairs open floor plan and spacious bedrooms upstairs create a comfortable , easy lifestyle. The lovey perennial gardens, patios and outdoor spaces are perfect for entertaining . Also on the property is a small stone building that with renovation could make a writers or artist studio .The property is located in the heart of horse country with miles of trails around and Mt. Ascutney now offers world class biking and walking trails. Easy access to the Upper Valley with Dartmouth College and Dartmouth Medical Center. Auger Hole is truly a one of a kind gem!
