Designed for Horse Lovers
Built for Elegant Country Living

Set in the heart of Farmington Hunt country, this beautifully maintained 15-acre horse farm offers an exceptional opportunity in Albemarle County. Thoughtfully designed for equestrian living, the property features a 3-stall barn (expandable to 5 stalls), multiple paddocks, a special care dry lot track, an automatic waterer, and a five-acre flat hay field ideal for schooling. Minutes from foxhunting fixtures and in the center of a vibrant equestrian community, this location embraces the area's rich sporting traditions. The charming 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home is surrounded by mature trees and lush perennial gardens, offering inviting living spaces where every window frames a picturesque view. The soaring ceilings in the great room create a bright, uplifting atmosphere, and the open floor plan flows seamlessly from the foyer to the great room, kitchen, and sunroom. The stylish kitchen features custom no-VOC maple cabinetry and a spacious island, while the adjoining sunroom opens to a private patio overlooking the gardens and paddocks beyond. The formal dining room connects to a deck and leads into the living room through elegant pocket doors, enhancing the home's flexible and welcoming design. While perfectly suited for equestrian pursuits, the property's charm, beauty, and versatility make it ideal for a variety of uses. Located just 25 minutes from Charlottesville, this farm offers a rare opportunity to own a peaceful country retreat in one of Virginia’s most scenic and sought-after areas.

    The well-appointed kitchen offers both style and functionality, showcasing custom no-VOC maple cabinetry with soft-close doors and convenient pull-out drawers. A generous pantry provides plenty of room for storage and organization, catering to any culinary needs. Adjacent to the kitchen, the sunroom offers a quiet sanctuary where you can enjoy morning coffee, read a book, or simply take in views of colorful perennial gardens and peaceful horse pastures—truly a serene place to start or end your day.

    Comfortable Private Spaces and Room to Grow
