Just over an hour from Boston, a 15 century-inspired Gothic castle is situated on over 400 acres of rolling countryside. As you approach the Woodstock estate, look up to imposing spires that rise 126 feet into the sky, a 30-acre pond and a mote.
Find regal details throughout the home
Once you pass through the gated entry, find 18,777 square feet of nine bedrooms, seven full baths, three half baths, 12 fireplaces, a dungeon and more. Every detail was designed with the utmost quality, from locally mined granite to over 25 imported species of exotic hardwoods and mantles, doors, doorways, moldings and fixtures that were purchased from architectural salvage yards in Europe and the United States—this home truly feels like you’ve stepped into Game of Thrones.
Views of the entire estate can be enjoyed from the glass dome; stained glass details add to the 15th-century ambiance.
Find a spacious bespoke kitchen with dark wood, granite and stained glass details through the entryway, which features wood inlay floors. Top-of-the-line appliances ensure chefs have every tool to prepare a delectable feast, while a grand stone fireplace overlooking Potter Pond adds a picturesque touch.
Stained glass details add to the 15th-century ambiance.
Up the spiral staircase of the seven-story home, a luxurious primary suite provides the royal treatment, thanks to a marble and wood gas fireplace, floor-to-ceiling windows, a walk-in closet dressing room and hardwood floors. The ensuite is just as impressive, boasting a whirlpool tub and marble-slab walls.Homeowners enjoy ultimate privacy at this property.
However, the best view awaits on the seventh floor. “The top floor is a glass dome, so you can view the entire estate,” says listing agent John Pizzi. “Even the floor is glass so that you can see three floors down. It allows you to see and experience the vastness of the estate and castle.” Even more wonders are found outside, including radiant heat outdoor decks and patios that can be enjoyed year-round, a pool and a dock. $29,995,000, 580 Brickyard Road, Woodstock, CT, John Pizzi, 860.460.5087, compass.com
