About the Home

Hermitswood - A private French Norman country estate where architecture, gardens and outdoor living converge. An extraordinary country estate set on eight beautifully landscaped acres, where architectural pedigree meets exceptional outdoor living. Originally renovated by architect Theo Muller and reimagined by Charles Hilton Architects, Hermitswood offers 6,321 square feet of sophisticated yet inviting living space, a remarkable 30' x 95' chemical-free swimming pool, award-winning gardens, lily pond, terraces and patios. The interior is equally exceptional, highlighted by a award-winning chef's kitchen with Lacanche and Sub-Zero appliances, Calacatta marble and custom craftsmanship throughout. A private two-bedroom guest suite adds flexibility for family and guests. This is not simply a remarkable home-it is a fully realized country estate designed for living beautifully.
