302 Brook Road, Chelsea, VT, 05038
About This Home
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, a large landing for reading nook/office and a bedroom. Downstairs on the lower level you'll find another bedroom, bathroom and laundry with storage. The lower level walks out to the side yard for storage and access. A large detached shed offers space for the garden implements necessary to maintain your little apple orchard and the property at large. 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 need WiFi. Your home. Your escape. Your Vermont.
