Let's see...Million dollar views for $399,000? My math has you up $601,000. Sounds like a great deal! Beautiful long range mountain views are yours every single day in your new home in Worcester. This three bedroom home features an open layout with the kitchen, dining area, and living room all basking in the views. An additional sunroom adds to the vibe and offers flexibility. Two bedrooms are on the main floor, and a third, larger bedroom is upstairs. With a partially finished, walkout basement, you’ll realize there’s more to this home than meets the eye. The detached 2 story barn provides parking, plenty of storage, and would make a nice workshop. 186 MacKenzie Road is a private retreat, that can’t be seen from the road. There's a nice swimming pond which you'll be sure to appreciate this summer! (Say hi to the family of turtles who are likely to be sunning themselves on sunny days!) Current owners have an established garden area that’s ready for you to take over, get your hands in your own soil, and enjoy the harvest. Stand by generator is in place, and CV Fiber provides reliable high speed internet. Yes–you CAN work from home here!
There is a particular kind of quiet you find on Apple Hill Road. Set on 5.7+/- acres of mature woodland, this modern Calais cottage feels tucked away without feeling cut off. Coffee outside, trails through the woods, a pellet stove glowing on a winter evening. This is Vermont living with a decidedly modern update. Inside, the newly installed open kitchen pairs quartz countertops with a generous island, creating an easy gathering place for cooking, conversation, and slow Sunday mornings. The living room opens directly to the yard, while a pellet stove adds warmth and atmosphere when the snow starts falling. Upstairs, two spacious rooms offer flexibility for sleeping, working, creating, or simply spreading out, plus a large cedar-lined closet. The attached one-car garage adds storage now and potential for additional living space in the future. Behind the simple exterior is an impressive list of recent improvements. In 2024-2025, the property received a standing seam metal roof, new kitchen and 3/4 bath, tankless water heater, heat pump system with two mini-splits, radon mitigation system, 200-amp electrical service, and Generac whole-house propane generator. Spray foam and attic cellulose insulation were added in conjunction with Efficiency Vermont, helping make the home comfortable and energy efficient. And when you do feel like rejoining the world, Maple Corner Store is only about two miles away, with Montpelier and Barre within easy reach. A full-time home, Vermont getaway, creative retreat, or simply a quieter way to live. Come see how it feels.
There is a version of Vermont life people carry around in their heads for years before they find it: a house in the woods, a river running below the windows, and town still close enough to matter. This is that house. Hancock Brook spills over falls into a swimming hole that belongs to this property and no other, and the water stays in view from inside, green in July, gold in the trees by October, ice-edged and quiet by December. Southern light crosses the floors from morning through evening. The seasons turn in plain sight. This is one of the last houses before the Worcester woods and the 17,000 acres of C.C. Putnam State Forest begin. Where the trails run further than a person can go in a day. Out front, a short drive carries you to Worcester Village in 5 minutes and Montpelier in 15, work, groceries, dinner out, all of it near at hand. Inside, the updated kitchen is the heart of it: maple butcher block counters, updated appliances, and an open floor plan that pulls everyone into the same room. Three bedrooms, beautiful wood floors, windows sized for the view they hold. Metal roof, covered parking, wood stove, and propane forced-air heat. Much has been updated and will allow for years of warmth and comfort for years to come, without worry.
