Near Shenandoah National park, this is an extraordinary self-sustaining mountain retreat on a south-facing slope 30 minutes north of Charlottesville. This charming 1910 farmhouse has been renovated and offers lovely space. The property enjoys beautiful, hardy and native landscaping and fertile vegetable gardens, orchards and vineyards. All is complemented by a walking bridge over a spring-fed stream, deep pasture and forest, hand-built arbors, extensive rock walls, barns and sheds. A separate studio has been constructed across the lawn for the artist - wired for Internet and TV. Mountain views are beautiful through four seasons. A five minute walk to Shenandoah National Park.
