Property Description

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.
