Most people only dream of ending their day like this.
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. Most recently, the current owners spent months thoughtfully breathing new life into the property. They made extensive improvements, touching nearly every surface and updating amenities, from refinishing floors, to renovating bathrooms, reconfiguring the kitchen, adding custom cabinetry, installing a new wastewater system, and restoring the foundation of the historic barn. 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. 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. Whether you're cultivating vegetables and flowers, raising a small flock of sheep, or perfecting your homemade chèvre, the expansive house and barn offers the flexibility to support everything from hobby farming pursuits to creative getaways and soulful gatherings. Located near local farms (Foster Farm, just next door), pristine lakes, Stowe Mountain Resort and Smugglers' Notch Resort (1 hour away). Your next memories start here. Sold furnished and equipped. †
