Charlotte, VT | 1576 Ferry Road

A rare offering in the heart of Charlotte, this extraordinary custom estate is a true showcase of Vermont craftsmanship at its finest. Completed in 2019 by Oak Hill Construction, the home was thoughtfully built using reclaimed timber-frame post-and-beam structures sourced from the historic Norwich Military Academy, along with carefully curated materials from barns, churches, and homes throughout Vermont and New England. Towering cathedral ceilings framed by hand-hewn Vermont beams, Hickory hardwood floors from Shelburne Farms, quarter-sawn Douglas Fir wainscotting, and a remarkable 1740s staircase sourced from New Hampshire, create interiors that feel both grand and deeply rooted in Vermont heritage. At the center of the home, the chef’s kitchen blends rustic elegance with modern luxury, featuring custom cabinetry and quartz countertops, overlooking the grounds and private pond. The adjoining living spaces are anchored by dramatic post-and-beam architecture and a stunning stone fireplace. Upstairs, the primary suite offers Adirondack views, exposed timber framing, spa-inspired finishes, Verde Antique serpentine stone, and reclaimed steamboat doors from a historic 1860s steamboat. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath offer flexible living spaces. The walkout lower level features radiant heated floors crafted from salvaged Vermont slate roof tiles, handcrafted wine/root cellars, a second custom kitchen, and a beautifully finished bedroom suite. Outside, enjoy a private retreat with hand-built stone walls, granite staircases, perennial gardens, fruit orchards, a pond, and a beautifully finished post-and-beam three-car garage with ADU above. Awarded Vermont’s prestigious 5-Star Plus Energy Rating, the home also features owned solar and advanced high-efficiency systems. This is far more than a luxury home. It is a legacy Vermont estate where craftsmanship, history, and modern comfort come together in extraordinary fashion that would be nearly impossible to replicate.
