Gilbert’s Hill: The birthplace of American skiing and one of Vermont's most celebrated properties for its contribution to the ski industry. Spanning 112.88± acres in Woodstock (79.31 acres) and Pomfret (33.57 acres), the farm is recognized as the birthplace of lift-served skiing in America, where the first rope tow was installed in 1934. Today, its open pastures, rolling terrain, and historic ski hill remain wonderfully intact — a living landscape that forever changed the trajectory of winter sport and the development of recreational skiing in the United States. At the heart of the property is a restored circa 1855 Greek Revival brick farmhouse with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a classic mid-19th-century clapboard addition with kitchen and garage. Original details have been thoughtfully preserved, blending historic integrity with comfort and charm. Surrounding the main house is a collection of restored historic buildings, including: a 1934 ski hut, now a three-season cottage with two bedrooms, kitchen and full bathroom; a carriage barn with seasonal kitchen and half bathroom; a dairy barn with milking parlor and six stanchions; and the original milk house. There is also a modern greenhouse pavilion with seasonal half bathroom and a detached 4-bay equipment shed. The land, which includes a vineyard with 700 vines, is conserved with the Vermont Land Trust. The house, dairy barn, milk house and 1934 ski hut are also protected by a historic preservation easement.
