Rolling pastures, Rivanna River frontage, and sweeping Blue Ridge Mountain views create a spectacular backdrop for the property. The estate is further enhanced by a beautifully restored barn and stables, a saltwater gunite pool and cabana, two regulation pickleball courts, and meticulously maintained grounds .Significant improvements have been made throughout the residences, grounds, and infrastructure.
