Property Description

There are places that transcend the idea of home, offering a way of life shaped by beauty, history, and nature. Library Lane Estate, a historically significant property in the heart of Woodstock, is where architectural heritage, artistic provenance, and landscape converge. Nestled along a quiet lane just moments from the village, it offers a rare balance of privacy, connection, and a profound sense of place. Designed and built in the 1920s during the Golden Era of the Woodstock Art Colony by Impressionist painter Paul Arndt, the estate remains a distinguished expression of artistic vision, masterful craftsmanship, and an homage to its heritage. Formally trained at l' École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Arndt created the Stone House and Studio as his creative sanctuary where he lived and worked for decades. Today, the estate is embraced by gardens envisioned by renowned landscape architect Michael Trapp. Mature trees and layered plantings create a living tapestry evolving throughout the seasons. A vine-covered pergola draped in fragrant honeysuckle reflects the Tuscan countryside and invites a graceful setting for meals and tranquil afternoons beneath the foliage. Library Lane evokes the sensibility of a Europnean country estate and the timeless character of the Cotswolds interpreted through the artistic spirit of Woodstock. Here, slow living becomes a natural rhythm. The Stone House has been restored with deep respect for its original character. Hand-trowelled plaster walls, exposed beams, original wide-plank floors, and interior stone walls provide both texture and a sense of enduring sophistication and repose. The subtle lighting brings forth details and creates an ambiance of sacred space. The French casement windows welcome light, soft breezes, aromas, and birdsong, while beyond the wavy glass rests the century-old willow. A stately stone-clad wood-burning fireplace anchors the generous living room becoming the heart of the home. The bespoke kitchen, designed with Siberian elm countertops, Clé tile, and an unlacquered-brass Barber Wilson faucet flows into the exquisite sunlit dining room. Beyond the meandering gardens and through the hidden gate, stands the reimagined Arndt studio. The three-bedroom Cottage carries a luminosity and the proportions of its original intention. Vaulted ceilings rise above an original stone fireplace fitted with a Stûv Belgian insert, while wide pine floors, reclaimed barnwood cabinetry, skylights, and a screened porch create a restful haven. Each comfortable bedroom and bath is a sunlit pleasure. A Venetian-plastered bath created by artist Anthony Chase provides an artisanal finish deepening the connection between material, light, and craft. A true Woodstock landmark, this exceptional estate offers the rare opportunity to become stewards of a property where history, artistry, and nature remain beautifully intertwined. The Stone House and Cottage each occupy their own parcel and private grounds. Far more than an estate, this is a collectible cultural legacy.
