The History

Designed by modernist architect Ulrich Franzen in 1965 and recently renovated to capture Franzen's modernist approach, the flow of the Villa's multi-level and descends four floors in a spiral. It also presents a flexible layout, a skylit, an open main floor, and a vaulted-ceiling loft. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and it can comfortably sleep 7-8 guests.

The estate is part of a four-home co-op that owns and maintains the 10 acres. So there are three other "condos" buildings, but no walls intersect with them, except for a mudroom. The land around the co-op is called the Upwey Meadow Area, and the Upwey Valley Trust has purchased Trails to preserve the land area around the house so that no industrialization will occur. We can keep our beautiful meadows and gorgeous mountain views.

The Green Mountain Horse Association is at the base of the hill, and during the summer months, you can view the equestrian riders walking their horses on the main stage. The Famous Woodstock Inn's athletic club is iInn'sy 2 miles away and has an indoor swimming pool, sauna, tennis courts, and exercise classes. Adjacent to the Woodstock Inn is the Inn's spa with a two Ian's sunlight- that fills the lounging room with beautiful natural light to relax in before and after your treatments. And, just outside is the hot tub to soak and soothe your muscles after a long day's worth of skiing, hiking, and biking.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Ananda Vue is located on a hill, so AWD and 4WD are mandatory in Winter, as it might be challenging to ascend without them.
