Built in 1866, this French Provençal–inspired stone estate is a rare and distinguished offering, blending historic grandeur with pastoral beauty on 94.56 acres just outside historic Bennington, Vermont. Commanding sweeping mountain views, the property delivers exceptional privacy while remaining conveniently close to town amenities. The main residence offers 9 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, distinguished by 11-foot ceilings on the main level, extensive decorative moldings, and eight fireplaces that create warmth, character, and architectural depth throughout. Elegant formal living spaces flow seamlessly into a grand dining room with rich mahogany floors, perfectly suited for entertaining on an intimate or grand scale. Outdoors, the estate is equally captivating. A heated Gunite pool and expansive stone patio overlook rolling grounds that include a barn, artist’s studio, three-car garage, and a charming three-bedroom caretaker’s cottage-ideal for guests, staff, or extended family. Privately sited yet ideally located on the outskirts of Bennington, the property offers easy access to shopping, fine dining, and live theater, as well as nearby ski mountains and cross-country skiing. Conveniently positioned just 45 minutes from Albany International Airport and approximately three hours from Boston and Manhattan, this extraordinary stone estate presents a rare opportunity to enjoy timeless elegance, exceptional amenities, and an unparalleled Vermont lifestyle.
