About this home
THIS LAND FEELS GOOD. One of the few remaining large parcels of land in Calais, this sanctuary of 57+ acres is quiet and secluded with no visible neighbors. Yet it is 15 minutes to downtown Montpelier, and just a few minutes from the village of Adamant where there is Vermontâs oldest food coop. It shares a road with Calais Elementary, so you can be assured it is well maintained year round. Mostly wooded, there are several acres of open land for gardens, animals, or just plain frolicking. Several magical elements: a spring-fed stream and pond, a writerâs cabin, and a rock carving of unknown origin. There is also a sturdy barn and woodshed, as well as a garden shed. The existing house is a âtear-downâ and is uninhabitable, but the building materials could be salvaged to build your new home on one of several house-sites! Driveway is top-notch. Build your new abode in an incredibly beautiful slice of country, within the U-32 school district.
