Why buyers choose Caledonia County.
Caledonia County is where the Northeast Kingdom begins. Working farms, quiet villages, and long ridge views define the landscape, and buyers routinely find land, farmhouses, and lake camps at prices well below Chittenden and Addison Counties.
St. Johnsbury anchors the county with a hospital, historic Main Street, independent shops, and the Fairbanks Museum & Athenaeum. Lyndonville brings a state university, a walkable downtown, and quick access to Burke Mountain and the Kingdom Trails.
Interstate 91 runs north-south through the county and I-93 begins in Waterford, so buyers get realistic access to Boston, southern New Hampshire, and Burlington without giving up the Kingdom's pace of life.
Housing ranges from village homes in St. Johnsbury and Lyndonville to hillside acreage in Danville, Peacham, and Barnet, to slopeside options near Burke Mountain and riverfront properties along the Connecticut in Waterford.
