Enjoy the tranquility and awe of this 1800s farmstead on 172+ acres spanning Worcester and Calais. Close to Worcester Village and just 10.5 miles from Montpelier's State House, offering rural charm and accessibility. Marvel at mountain views, cultivate gardens, explore rolling fields, and enjoy the extensive trail system for hiking, skiing and mountain biking. Plus, an idyllic pond past the backyard gardens attracts great blue herons. The 1840s farmhouse, set in a pastoral landscape with a spacious, fenced yard, welcomes you with an open living and dining area. Featuring a hearth, woodstove, and sunny reading nook. The recently updated kitchen boasts new cabinets and cast-iron double sink. A guest half bath and a large laundry room with an antique cast-iron sink are conveniently located nearby. The primary bedroom on the main floor offers new French doors leading to the yard, and an ensuite bathroom with a clawfoot tub and artist-crafted sink vanity. Upstairs, you'll find three additional bedrooms, a 3/4 bath, a charming study with built-in desk and skylight, a storage room and loft overlooking the living room. An unheated activity room, a rustic mudroom/ski room, and an oversized garage with front and back doors complete the home with a south-facing greenhouse. Two potential subdivision parcels offer future potential. Experience the simplicity and grandeur of life, surrounded by the Worcester Range Mountains, meadows and woodlands.
