Some homes you visit. This one you come home to. Set on 4.4 surveyed acres in East Calais, this single-level retreat pairs the kind of privacy that feels like a deep breath with the comfort of staying connected. Picture a slow fall morning: coffee on the Trex deck, skylights pouring light across cathedral ceilings, and the wood stove below already warming the house for the evening ahead. Tall pines, apple trees, and berry bushes frame the property, joined by blueberries, plums, an asparagus bed, and established perennial gardens that make for easy, beautiful landscaping season after season. The level lawn invites play, and a fire pit sets the stage for summer evenings and s'mores under the stars. Inside, the open living, dining, and kitchen areas are filled with natural light. The kitchen was updated in 2020 with stone counters, warm oak cabinetry, and stainless appliances, a natural gathering spot for everything from weeknight dinners to holiday cooking. The primary bedroom and full bath are on the main floor, along with a sunny corner den/office that opens to a second deck, a quiet spot to work or unwind. The lower level is made for gathering. A large game room warmed by a Quadrafire wood stove is the kind of space where game nights run late and winter afternoons disappear. Two more bedrooms, a laundry room, and 3/4 bath complete the level. For projects and hobbies, the attached 2-car garage offers overhead storage, and the detached barn includes greenhouse space, a tractor canopy, and room for a workshop. Behind the house and barn, a fenced area is ready for pets or chickens. The home is in the U-32 school district, close to area lakes and ponds and the new East Calais General Store, and an easy drive from Montpelier. Gosselin Hill Road is a private road with a maintenance agreement in place (approx. $500/yr). Secluded, not isolated, and ready for its next chapter.

Some homes make you choose between village life and room to roam. 4475 VT Route 14 gives you both. Set on 6 acres in a Vermont village, this historic farmhouse puts the General Store and post office close at hand, while out back, paths wind through the property to private frontage on Kingsbury Brook.

Inside, historic character meets a fresh, contemporary point of view. The kitchen centers around stone counters and a generous island, opening into a bright dining room made for lingering over dinner. French doors lead to a high-ceilinged living room with abundant natural light, plenty of space for art, and a woodstove that changes the mood completely when Vermont winter arrives. A first-floor bedroom with its own half bath offers flexibility, while a full bath is also located on the main level. Upstairs are three more bedrooms, including two with loft spaces and a primary bedroom with custom built-in drawers and cupboards. The spacious upstairs bath feels like a retreat, with a double vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower. And there is room for the less glamorous parts of life, too.

About 15 minutes from Hardwick and 20 minutes from Montpelier via paved roads, this is Vermont country living without disappearing off the map. Historic farmhouse, village connection, six acres, and your own stretch of brook. Come experience the combination for yourself.

This timeless 1700+ sq ft 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom New England cape home built in 1900 on 16+/- acres is located just a few miles from the Hamlet of Adamant and its famous Co-op, Maple Corner and Curtis Pond. The exterior was just painted spring 2026. The standing seam metal roof on the main house should outlast all of us. When you enter the home from the two car garage, there is a mudroom and full newer, updated bathroom. Just beyond that is a second full bathroom with a private toilet closet and a laundry room. There is new flooring on the first floor and the seller is leaving brand new boxes of flooring for the next owner to continue the work upstairs. A spacious, bright living room is located at the front of the house and a formal dining room is on the other side with access to the fully equipped kitchen with gas range and dishwasher. A three season porch that leads to the back yard allows for a relaxing space to enjoy the views of the side yard and barn. Upstairs there are three bedrooms.

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. Although not used for a few years, located behind the house and a short hike through the brush up the hill is a well equipped seasonal camp with long distance views. 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.
Some properties you buy. This one you fall for. Set on 15.9 rolling acres in the heart of Calais, this is the kind of land that earns recognition. Once home to the Grand View Winery, this hillside was chosen for good reason: panoramic views sweeping across the Worcester Range, Camel's Hump, and the Sugarbush ridgeline for nearly 70 miles on a clear day. Open meadow gives way to woodland, bookended with a stretch of Still Brook as it winds through the property. The winery is gone, but the exceptional land endures. The orchard remains: apple, pear, and plum trees producing generously each season, alongside blueberry bushes and nut trees. Enough that you'll be giving fruit away by late summer. Room for gardens, animals, or simply space to breathe. For the maker, the grower, or the person who works with their hands, the outbuildings are a genuine asset: a versatile shop/studio with commercial 3-phase power—ideal for a workshop, art studio, or small business—alongside a barn full of potential. Comcast high-speed internet makes this land fully remote-work capable, rare in the Vermont countryside and increasingly essential. The 1,435 sq ft, 1.5-story home offers 2 bedrooms, a full bath, and a rough-in in place for another bathroom upstairs—comfortable and livable as it stands, with the bones and the footprint to grow into. A neighborhood road with genuine community character. Twenty-five minutes to Montpelier's farmers market, co-op, and restaurants. Strong U-32 school district. This land is recognized for its extraordinary character. Come see why.
