Calais, VT | 416 Gosselin Hill Road

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.

“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.
