5855 Valley Road, Holland, VT 05830

Will you be the one to write the next chapter for this storybook chalet? Perched back from the paved road atop a knoll in the bucolic town of Holland, you’ll enjoy views of rolling mountains and lush, green fields. Built in 1967, this 1½-story house offers 1,320 square feet of living space with hardwood floors in most rooms. You’ll be transported back in time once you enter the U-shaped kitchen and see the vintage butter yellow range, dishwasher, and countertop that are original to this home. On the other side of the peninsula is the dining area, and outside the Dutch door is the back deck overlooking a fairy tale forest and stream. A granite fireplace with woodstove insert is the focal point in the 25x13’ living room. Also on this level is a full bath. Climb the stairs to the 2 cozy bedrooms with ½ bath in the middle. There is plumbing in place for a ¾ bath in the finished portion of the walk-out basement. A workshop area, storage space, and 1-stall garage round out this level. The 20.2-acre lot is a blend of open and wooded areas, with a riparian meadow between the main house and guest cottage. The hot water tank is 3 years old, a new roof was installed in 2021, and the bones of the house are good. Whether you’re looking for a year-round or vacation home, this is a must-see property located just minutes from Seymour Lake, with a VAST connector trail nearby. It’s time to turn the page and let someone new narrate the continuing story of this quaint country home.
