187 HOPSON ROAD – This one-of-a-kind home was designed by the architect, George T. Hathorn, and built by G.R. Porter and Sons - both of whom represent an era of home building quality unsurpassed to this day. As befits the climate, the centerpiece of this house is a woodstove, framed by a grand 3-story brick chimney and adjacent staircase – a unique layout that is both beautiful and wonderfully efficient for air-flow and comfort. An abundance of well-placed windows allows natural light to pour through every room. The main floor offers a mudroom, spacious foyer, large living room with fireplace, open concept kitchen-to-dining area, walk-in pantry, and a half bath. The next level boasts a primary en-suite with full bath and walk-in closet, and a bedroom currently set-up as an office. The walk-out basement offers 2 more bedrooms, one with an en-suite full bath, and both with walk-in closets, a recreation room, and utility room with a workshop and laundry area. Situated on 2 acres of beautifully manicured land, it is just a short walk to the village of Norwich, home to the coveted Marion Cross Elementary School (top-rated Hanover High is Norwich's designated high school), and the beloved Dan and Whit’s general store. A short drive to Dartmouth College, Dartmouth Health Medical Center, and King Arthur Bakery. This property offers the perfect blend of privacy and convenient access to all that the Upper Valley has to offer. Open House Saturday September 20, 11 AM - 1 PM.

Norwich, VT
Norwich was recently voted as the #1 Best Place to Live in Vermont by Niche.com. The quaint and picturesque town has a population of approximately 3,400 people. Its close proximity to Hanover and its many historic buildings and attractions such as The Norwich Inn, Dan & Whit’s General Store, and King Arthur Flour make it a very desirable place to live. As one New York Times article described, “With a main street lined with white clapboard colonial buildings and a landmark steepled church, Norwich could be a set designer’s renderings of a tiny New England village.”

Hanover is home to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, boutique shopping outlets, fabulous food, and more. One of its main attractions is Dartmouth College (one of the Ivy Leagues and the ninth oldest college in the nation), and in part due to its youthful atmosphere, the town enjoys a lively, 'New England cosmopolitan' business district. Hanover offers an incredible mix of activities from access to the White and Green Mountains to its arts and culture community not to mention the obvious intellectual benefits found in a college town.

Woodstock, Vermont is the quintessential New England historic town. It sits in a valley surrounded by low-lying hills that nestle rather than overwhelm, and is a community snuggled around the Ottauquechee River. Woodstock is home to many excellent shops and restaurants, the Woodstock Inn & Resort, a great middle and high school, and it never fails to serve as an incredible place to go for a walk or meet someone for coffee.
Those who choose to reside near Woodstock continue to be some of the most educated in the world, some of the most accomplished “captains of industry” in the country. You’ll find filmmakers, war correspondents, writers, artists, military experts, doctors, high-tech entrepreneurs, rock stars, equestrians and happy soccer moms and dads all grabbing a coffee in town. Woodstock also attracts its fair share of Dutch, English and French, many of whom are reminded of home by the gentle hills, winding dirt roads, cows, sheep and horses in pastures next to beautiful weathered barns. Even if it’s not the old country, it has the feel of a place with deep roots.

Quechee is the site of Quechee Gorge on the Ottauquechee River and is also the home to the Quechee Lakes planned community initiated in the late 1960s, which brought to the community the small Quechee Lakes Ski Area in the 1970s. The ski area has 13 trails and 3 lifts. Perched atop the falls of the Ottauquechee River, overlooking a covered bridge, Simon Pearce offers glassblowing demonstrations, a renowned restaurant, and new bar.
