About this home
Calais, Vermont is one of the most well preserved rural communities in Vermont encompassing Kents Corner with Kents Tavern, Maple Corner, and the Old West Church. A rich history and outstanding period architecture have been protected through thoughtful conservation and proper stewardship. The Morse Farm is part of this regional heritage. The newly renovated Cape brick farmhouse with it's covered front porch, outstanding barn and outbuildings suggests a time of quiet peaceful country living. Fortunately the current owners are architectural purists and have renovated the farmhouse and barns with a keen eye to preserving all period material. From the well worn wide plank floors to the magnificent builtin original cabinetry, sensitivity was the driving force. The chefs kitchen has been artfully installed creating a feel that it has always belonged amongst the period details. While it would be hard to leave Morse Farm, yet the area boasts some of the finest recreational, cultural and epicurean offerings in the state. And a short 8 mile drive to the state Capital of Montpelier. A rare offering.
