CASH PURCHASE ONLY! This former single family 1850's farmhouse on 3.01 +/- acres was converted to a three unit seven bedroom, four bathroom home. However, the last few years and tenants were not kind and the home is in need of extensive repairs. With some effort, the first floor apartment, #3, could be brought back quickly for owner occupancy while working on the rest of the building. There is a propane heater, but no tank or fuel. The valleys in the middle section of the roof have been leaking through. A former tenant was some kind of plumber and there are many unfinished plumbing projects all over the house that the owner has no knowledge about. The tenant liked laundry rooms! There are no heating systems hooked up and it will remain that way through closing. A wood burning boiler and an oil boiler are in the basement. There is functioning water in a couple bathrooms and there are no known issues with the well or water. The septic tank was pumped and appears to be in good working order. The first floor of the home has tall ceilings and all new windows, except for two that are in a closet ready for the new owner to install. It appears that all the wiring was replaced. There is a small fuse box in the back of the basement, but most of the house is circuit breakers. Outside there are mature, producing blueberry bushes, an asparagus bed, a rhubarb patch and a butterfly/hummingbird garden on the side yard beyond the old chicken coop. Tires and dumpsters should all be gone by mid-August. Seller has not lived in the property since 2019. SOLD AS IS!
“We come and go, but the land is always here. And the people who love it and understand it are the people who own it... for a little while,” wrote Willa Cather in O Pioneers! With panoramic views of the Worcester Range, famed Camel's Hump, and the Sugarbush ridgeline this contemporary country house calls, no beckons, you home. The nearly sixteen acres here provides a generous mix of both open meadow, woods, and even the cool running waters of the Still Brook towards the property's edge. If you've dreamed of space to garden in, to hobby farm, to craft, or simply of a peaceful place to root down and settle into…your dream can be realized here. There are two versatile outbuildings waiting to be outfitted for your specific needs: one, a converted garage that's fully insulated and equipped with a commercial grade 3-phase power system, and the other, a beautifully built two story-barn with power and water that was once used as a bar and gathering space for the Grand View Winery that previously called this property home. The vestige of the winery remains with mature and fecund plum, apple and pear trees. The house itself sits intentionally built into the hillside with the eco-conscious owner in mind. Stepping inside, the commanding mountain views fill the oversized, Western-facing, windows that bring in pools of sunlight no matter the season. The main level offers a well-appointed living space thats both open and bright complete with skylights and hardwood floors. While only marketed as a two bedroom home, there is actually a third room directly off of the primary bedroom that could easily also be used as an additional bedroom if one desires. Upstairs, the large lofted room can also be versatilely used. Currently set up as a play space and office, this could be the perfect den, studio, guest space, gym… the choice is yours. So, as Cather puts it, if you could “understand it” and “love it” then come, and “own it... for a little while.” Schedule your private viewing today.

One area is located above a bathroom on the main level for easy access to plumbing. A new water heater was installed two years ago. Next to the house is a livestock barn that has storage above and a tack room with stalls on the main level. It was a chicken coop for years. Next to the barn is a fenced garden area waiting for next year's plantings.

The land was recently logged and left natural. The home has been lived in seasonally for the last couple years, but kept heated year round.

Set on 36 picturesque acres (26 acres in the "VT Current Use Program"), this beautifully renovated 1860s farmhouse (fondly called "Holden House"), believed to be part of one of Calaisâ?? original founding farmsteads dating back to the 1790s, offers a rare blend of history, character, and modern comfort.

They made extensive improvements, touching nearly every surface and updating amenities, from refinishing floors, to renovating bathrooms, reconfiguring the kitchen, adding custom cabinetry, installing a new wastewater system, and restoring the foundation of the historic barn. With 8 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and a 3-bay garage, there is ample space to come together in expansive living areas or retreat to a quiet sunlit corner. At the heart of the home, the chefâ??s kitchen is designed for both slow mornings and lively evenings. Throughout the home, a thoughtful blend of traditional and new creates a timeless yet fresh aesthetic. Hand-painted murals, stenciled walls (by local artists), handcrafted furnishings and preserved historic details add warmth and soul to every space. Mature trees surround the property, offering shade in the summer and sunlight through the winter months, while many bedrooms capture sweeping views of the Vermont countryside.
