Description:
Green Mountain Farm is a 100+ year old estate located in Southern Albemarle County VA, which is considered the heart of VA Wine Country. This property has 354.36 ± acres of gently rolling land with unobstructed views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This estate will be offered in two tracts as well as the entirety: Tract One includes 160.72 ± acres and a renovated farm house with outbuildings, and Tract Two includes 193.64 ± acres.
Historically, the property has been used to raise beef cattle. Features include 100+ acres of open pasture land, that are currently planted and used for rotating soy beans and corn crops. The property is fenced, and there are also 60+ acres of managed pine timber, with approximately 15 year growth. There is additional merchantable hardwood also located throughout the farm. Active streams flow through the property, and there is a pond located behind the farm home.
The 2-story, renovated farm home is located on a bluff overlooking the farm and the Blue Ridge Mountains. Home features include 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, covered front and side porches, new hardwood flooring, updated electrical, new septic system, new well pump, and well house, updated windows, and an updated kitchen. There are also two additional outbuildings, one of which could be renovated and used as a possible guest quarters.
The fertile land is ideal for viticulture and could be a great location for a winery. Currently, most of the open areas are planted and producing significant crop yields. The property was used to raise livestock in the past, and could certainly operate as such again today. The land is well suited for equine facilities, and there are also interior roads and trails throughout the property, making it perfect for horseback riding, mountain biking, riding ATVs, as well as riding other recreation vehicles. There is an abundance of wildlife in the area, and the property is known for its exceptional hunting grounds.
The Green Mountain Farm is located approximately 1.5 ± miles from Mountain Grove Estate, 2.7 ± miles from the Guthrie Hall Estate, and 4.2 ± miles from the Esmont Estate, all of which are on the National Register of Historic Estates. The Trump Winery is only 11 ± miles away, and famous recording artist Dave Matthew’s owned Blenheim Vineyards is just 13.8 ± miles away. The property is convenient located less than 19 ± miles from Charlottesville and the University of Virginia.
