302 Brook Road, Chelsea, VT 05038

Somewhere between the rolling hills of Chelsea and the rest of the world, there exists a place that feels borrowed from Tolkien's imagination — a real-life Shire where the land is green, the air is clean, and time moves at the pace of a babbling brook. This five-acre oasis is the kind of property you don't find; you stumble upon it and wonder how it escaped everyone else. Mature maples stand like quiet sentinels, a working apple orchard offers its seasonal gifts, and a brook winds softly through the grounds — bucolic, unhurried, alive. The 1991-built home offers 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms with a vaulted, skylit living room, a main-floor primary suite, and a generous kitchen and dining area that opens to a back deck and the woods beyond. Upstairs, two bedrooms; downstairs, 400 sq ft of finished space for a gym, studio, or guest room. And unlike the Shire, this Eden comes with fiber optic internet, a standing seam roof, wood/oil combo boiler, and a whole-home generator. Even hobbits...
