10 bischoff lane

This rare c.1800 Brick Federal estate with a majestic maple-lined driveway is privately nestled on 11 picturesque acres in Hartland, VT. Facing south, with good privacy, and abutting 75 acres of conserved land, this historic home offers 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths with classic elegance throughout. Original woodwork, detailed chimney pieces, and 6 fireplaces preserve authentic charm. The stately south entry hall showcases a graceful semicircular staircase beneath 10’ ceilings and large bright 6-over-6 double-hung windows that flood interiors with natural light throughout. American artist, author and illustrator Ilse Bischoff purchased the property in 1942, creating a retreat to host fellow artists and guests. In 1963, Bischoff added a matching brick two-story ell with a first-floor study, bedroom, bath, and second-level family room alongside her unique porcelain room. A separate and spacious artist's studio apartment features a large north-facing window and a stately fireplace, partially framed with local barn timbers. Additional amenities include an inground pool with patio, detached 2-car garage, oversized 3-bay garage with overhead storage, and an additional 2-bedroom single-story caretaker’s home (complete with caretaker). There is extensive stone work, brick pathways, split-rail fencing, mature landscaping, and even a private pond. Close proximity to Woodstock and Quechee offers charming shops, fine dining, skiing, golfing, and cultural events.
