Nestled down a half mile gravel road you will find a peaceful serene home surrounded by the great outdoors without another house in sight. Conveniently located only 6.8 miles from downtown Charlottesville this charming 3 BR / 3.5 Bath country retreat comes with all the amenities of modern life. There are four wineries within 6.5 miles of the house as well as historic sites such as Monticello & Ash Lawn which are each about 5 minutes away. The house is bright and airy, features all hardwood flooring throughout, a large kitchen, screened in porch and separate outdoor seating area by a babbling fish/frog pond. Below the house is a fire pit surrounded by 8 Adirondack chairs as well as directly accessible walking and horse trails through bordering land which is under conservation easement. Upstairs there are three bedrooms. The master is very spacious and bright with a king bed, large, padded headboard and its own full bathroom and tub. The second bedroom features a queen bed and is very bright and airy surrounded by windows .

This property was absolutely perfect! The location is spot-on with local wineries and downtown Charlottesville only a short drive away. We ate out only once because cooking in with the fully-equipped kitchen was wonderful. We took in the outdoors in the screened porch as well as the huge fire pit with 8 chairs! It is so scenic because of the vast acreage and it even has an old barn on site which makes it so authentic. Everyone slept great as the beds were cozy and warm. We played games at the kitchen table then gathered around the indoor real wood-burning fireplace for nightly cocktails. It was a perfect trip and we will be back!!! Thank you James for creating a very worth-it vacation spot!

Wife and I had a great stay! Everything was in order and certainly felt like a long overdue getaway from the hubbub of activity around the DC metro area. Grateful to James for opening up this home to us! We thoroughly loved the secluded location, yet close enough to restaurants and other entertainment in Charlottesville. Thank you!

We had a wonderful experience at this home. It was very clean, inviting and comfortable! The house is charming with historical details yet updated with newer light fixtures and furnishings. There were 6 adults in our party and we all were very comfortable. The kitchen is well supplied and the layout made it easy for multiple people to work together. The area is quiet and yet convenient to Montecello and hiking trails. We highly recommend this home 😊!!

We recently spent a couple of nights ahead of Thanksgiving in this lovely home. Very clean, everything you need, and the screened-in porch overlooking the tree-lined hill in back is a bonus. We bundled up to have coffee there each morning. And the drive up from the main road is well maintained and provides a nice place to walk. All so peaceful. We will be back.
