Calais, VT | 762 Apple Hill Road

If your soul craves quiet beauty and your creative side needs space to roam, this 34+ acre Vermont retreat might just be your next great love story. Tucked at the end of a long driveway and designed by Princeton architect Bill Thompson, the home is perfectly placed to soak in southern light and celebrate its wooded surroundings, with winding stone walls hinting at the land's long agricultural history. Inside, softwood floors guide you through a warm, light-filled layout. The eat-in kitchen is built for real living, with a generous island, separate SubZero fridge and freezer, and a brand-new rangetop ready for your next signature dish. A cathedral-ceilinged den with a new enameled Vermont Castings woodstove insert makes winter evenings something to look forward to, while the front-to-back living room opens to an artistic stone patio made for stargazing or morning coffee. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a peaceful reading or dressing nook, and two more generous bedrooms offer space for guests, work, or play. Need more room to create? A massive 24’x36’ studio above the garage is your blank canvas. For tinkerers, hobbyists, or entrepreneurs, there’s a four-bay barn with loft storage providing even more flexibility. Plus, EC Fiber high-speed internet keeps you connected, even when you're surrounded by trees instead of traffic.
