2714 Balentine Road, East Calais, VT 05650

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, from removing and creating walls to improve flow and usability, refinishing floors, renovating bathrooms, reconfiguring the kitchen, adding custom cabinetry, installing a new wastewater system, and restoring 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....
