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. Off of the second floor landing are very large storage areas that could be easily converted to a small office or a bathroom. 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.
