Absolutely adorable 3 bedroom ranch/bungalow in Calais! Set on nearly 3 acres of level and open land, with a touch of wooded, this home could be just what you're looking for. The home has an open layout, with an eat-in kitchen opening to a large living room. There's a second living room to the other side of the kitchen, with a wall of windows overlooking the side yard. Three bedrooms and a full bath are all on the first floor. A recent addition of an enclosed porch / mudroom makes the home even more comfortable, and easy to love!

At one point, there were more than 50 blueberry bushes (down to 5 or so now), as well as raspberry bushes and apple trees.

LOADS of exterior storage with a cute one car detached garage and a substantial 3-bay equipment shed in the back. This homestead has beautiful landscaping with perennial flowers and tasteful stone work. Amazing opportunity to own good land, on a paved road, and be just minutes from Maple Corner or Montpelier.

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. Perennial gardens, mature trees, sunny spaces for vegetables, and a large fenced yard make the outdoors feel like part of everyday life. 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. A barn handles bikes, tools, and gear, while the large walkout basement offers a workshop, substantial storage, and recently added insulation. 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.
There is a particular kind of quiet you find on Apple Hill Road. Set on 5.7+/- acres of mature woodland, this modern Calais cottage feels tucked away without feeling cut off. Coffee outside, trails through the woods, a pellet stove glowing on a winter evening. This is Vermont living with a decidedly modern update. Inside, the newly installed open kitchen pairs quartz countertops with a generous island, creating an easy gathering place for cooking, conversation, and slow Sunday mornings. The living room opens directly to the yard, while a pellet stove adds warmth and atmosphere when the snow starts falling. Upstairs, two spacious rooms offer flexibility for sleeping, working, creating, or simply spreading out, plus a large cedar-lined closet. The attached one-car garage adds storage now and potential for additional living space in the future. Behind the simple exterior is an impressive list of recent improvements.

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!
