High Riding's 75.5 acres with panoramic views from Mt. Ascutney to Mt. Washington comprise one of the most beautiful land parcels in Woodstock and includes two separate residences, two garages and stables. Architect Harvey Stevenson's (NYC Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia's “chief architect”) 1962 modern design at 99 Darling Road embraces the striking layered views of meadow, near hillsides, and distant mountains. The 2,365 square-foot interior OF 99 blends Japanese-style simplicity with Vermont provenance, such as curved walls of a honey-colored butternut veneer, curly maple on the stairs, and birds-eye maple on the kitchen cabinets. The large main level master bedroom is paired with two additional bedrooms on the garden level, which opens to a covered patio. A detached two-car garage is conveniently accessible. The “Studio” at 97 Darling Road, a 2,384 square-foot separate building, has a 2-bay garage, 3 offices (or living) areas on the first level, and a completely equipped two-bedroom guest apartment above with lovely North light and near and long-range views. A private deck leads down to the stone patio. The landscape combines birch and maple glades with mature specimen trees of many varieties in a park-like setting, naturalistic plantings, perennial gardens and dramatic stone steps leading down to a swimming pond. There are over 800 sugar maples- tapped for maple syrup, apple trees, well maintained pastures, forest, private riding and hiking trails and a 3-stall stable.
