This is a rare one - an impeccably cared for and private 1810 colonial oasis nestled minutes from Charlottesville, Scottsville, and Wintergreen. The place settles into something like a secret garden - mountain views, cottage-style plantings, and a quiet that feels like sanctuary before you've even reached the door. Inside, original 200 yo heart pine floors run through rooms with a real sense of scale and place. Four wood burning fireplaces anchor the home, along with a first-floor bedroom and full bath, a large kitchen, and porches front and back. A wood stove keeps things warm through winter, and the greenhouse becomes its own destination on a snowy day - a hot chocolate bar while it's cold. Gardens shift with the seasons and the whole property leans toward the kind of outdoor life that's hard to manufacture. Outside, an orchard and open, sun-facing land are ready for a cut flower operation, Bed and Breakfast, or a fastidiously kept home that is ready for someone new to settle into. Close enough to the city, far enough to exhale. Some houses you visit - this one, you exhale in. Come see for yourself.
