7 RIP ROAD- One of the most admired homes on one of Hanover’s most coveted roads, this exceptional Colonial blends timeless charm, thoughtful design, and modern comfort. Set elegantly on a high knoll, the home enjoys westerly views toward Vermont and sits on a beautifully landscaped 1+ acre lot with inviting spaces for both everyday living and special gatherings. The iconic wraparound farmer’s porch is truly special — a dreamy retreat for morning coffee, evening sunsets, and taking in the quiet rhythm of this beloved neighborhood. The original home has been thoughtfully renovated and expanded, adding a spacious garage and a breezeway that seamlessly connects the interior and exterior spaces. Inside, the open and welcoming main level features a generous kitchen with abundant storage that flows effortlessly to a screened porch and expansive back deck, creating an ideal setting for entertaining or relaxing outdoors. A nearby dining room opens to the living room and additional flexible spaces, all centered around a beautiful brick fireplace, while a powder room completes the level. Upstairs, the primary suite — featuring cathedral ceilings, a large walk-in closet, and a beautifully appointed bath with soaking tub and separate shower — occupies the west end of the home, capturing lovely views and evening light. A spacious second bedroom with its own walk-in closet, a third bedroom, and a conveniently located laundry room complete the upper level. Located on picturesque Rip Road, this turnkey property offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience, just minutes from the Town of Hanover, Dartmouth College, nearby schools, and a network of walking trails and conserved lands. This is truly a special home in an extraordinary Upper Valley location. Some photos in gallery are virtually enhanced.

Woodstock, Vermont is the quintessential New England historic town. It sits in a valley surrounded by low-lying hills that nestle rather than overwhelm, and is a community snuggled around the Ottauquechee River. Woodstock is home to many excellent shops and restaurants, the Woodstock Inn & Resort, a great middle and high school, and it never fails to serve as an incredible place to go for a walk or meet someone for coffee.
Those who choose to reside near Woodstock continue to be some of the most educated in the world, some of the most accomplished “captains of industry” in the country. You’ll find filmmakers, war correspondents, writers, artists, military experts, doctors, high-tech entrepreneurs, rock stars, equestrians and happy soccer moms and dads all grabbing a coffee in town. Woodstock also attracts its fair share of Dutch, English and French, many of whom are reminded of home by the gentle hills, winding dirt roads, cows, sheep and horses in pastures next to beautiful weathered barns. Even if it’s not the old country, it has the feel of a place with deep roots.

Norwich was recently voted as the #1 Best Place to Live in Vermont by Niche.com. The quaint and picturesque town has a population of approximately 3,400 people. Its close proximity to Hanover and its many historic buildings and attractions such as The Norwich Inn, Dan & Whit’s General Store, Norwich Bookstore, and King Arthur Flour make it one of the most desirable places to live in the Upper Valley. As one New York Times article described, “With a main street lined with white clapboard colonial buildings and a landmark steepled church, Norwich could be a set designer’s renderings of a tiny New England village.”
-
Quechee is the site of Quechee Gorge on the Ottauquechee River and is also the home to the Quechee Lakes planned community initiated in the late 1960s, which brought to the community the small Quechee Lakes Ski Area in the 1970s. The ski area has 13 trails and 3 lifts. Perched atop the falls of the Ottauquechee River, overlooking a covered bridge, Simon Pearce offers glassblowing demonstrations, a renowned restaurant, and new bar.
