Property Description
Hermitswood is a gracious French Norman-style country estate set on eight spectacular acres, features a natural swimming pool, extensive gardens, and two-bedroom guest suite. Originally renovated by renowned architect Theo Muller, the home has been reimagined by Charles Hilton Architects, transforming it into an exceptional country retreat offering 6,321 square feet of elegant living space. The award-winning landscape design is spectacular, with beautifully curated gardens, patios, terraces, a lily pond, and two sweeping grass stairways leading to the breathtaking 30' x 95' chemical-free swimming pool. The interior is highlighted by the award-winning chef's kitchen, featuring a 48" Sub-Zero, a Lacanche range with custom hood and limestone backsplash, Waterstone fixtures, and two impressive 11' islands topped with Calacatta marble. Exceptional craftsmanship is evident throughout, including custom millwork and moldings, hardwood floors with brass inlays, a 17th-century French fireplace, antique French stone flooring, and coffered ceilings. Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, a spacious new terrace just off the kitchen provides the perfect setting for dining and entertaining. An upper-level deck, and an additional main-level deck, offers peaceful spaces to relax and enjoy the surrounding landscape. Rarely does a property combine architectural pedigree, extraordinary craftsmanship, and such breathtaking natural beauty. Hermitswood is truly a one-of-a-kind country estate.
