Property Description

There is a quiet moment just before the day begins, when soft light pours through the farmhouse windows from the sweeping fields and pastures to create a sense of endless space beyond. 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 Calais' original founding farmsteads dating back to the 1790s, offers a rare blend of history, character, and modern comfort. Over the years, this home has been a place for gathering, where stories are shared across generations and every room invites connection. 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 chef's kitchen is designed for both slow mornings and lively evenings filled with conversation and celebration. Throughout the home, a thoughtful blend of old and new creates a timeless yet welcoming 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. The large barn serves as a natural extension of the home's legacy, offering endless possibilities for entertaining, events, or continued use as a working farmstead. Located near local farms (Foster Farm, just next door), pristine lakes, Stowe Mountain Resort and Smugglers' Notch Resort (1 hour away), this is more than a home, it is a place where history and modern living come together, and where new memories are waiting to be made. Being sold fully furnished and equipped.
