Labyrinth, Trails and Solitude

116 acres of hills and dells. Miles of hiking trails marked and well maintained. A small pond and beautiful labyrinth. Over 50 acres of deep wilderness woods. General Lee and his troops once camped here. But they cleaned up pretty good, so all you can really see is the old spring and wagon road. This is a working herb and small fruit farm. We have been experimenting with all kinds of exotic herbs and trees. Some make it, many don't. We sell dried herb teas.  In addition we have 5 different kinds of bamboo. We use the bamboo for so many things.

In the 5 people per site we are considering adults, not children... bring a whole crew of kids (try to have enough supervision - if there is such a concept!) The kids have such a great time out here... it is amazing. They love the labyrinth!

It seems like we made this place for the kids in ourselves and when actual kids see it they go wild. The last bunch were running and yelping with their picked flowers all round and round in the labyrinth for hours!

Also, if you want peace and quiet - and we have children booked - we will put you out at one beautiful remote campsites away from all the kids running and singing.

Many campsites interconnect to the network of nature trails.

Rockfish River Landing

Property lies along the Rockfish River in Southern Albemarle County, a short drive to country stores and many public boat landings on the James River. There are no public boat landings on the Rockfish River so you are ras likely to see a Blue Herron as another paddlers. Fishing is best in the spring when the Smallmouth spawn.

The table makes for the perfect place to set up a picnic!

There are some great spots to swim in right at the campsite

Lounge chairs are provided so you can enjoy the gorgeous view

Kayaking on the pond! It actually goes down to a depth of about 30 feet in the middle. Super refreshing for an afternoon or morning dip. 

Private Farm Minutes to Cville

This was a 55-acre farm, split in half to accommodate a bypass through Charlottesville, so the previous owners had to give up half the land, and actually moved the house down to the other half of the property! They had to build a land bridge to get to the new home site, so they turned the bridge into a dam and created a beautiful large swimming pond, complete with beach and gazebo. My wife Stephanie and I bought the property in early 2017 and have turned it into a private horse farm, adding pastures, a riding ring, and 6-stall barn. There are ~21 horses who live on the property.
The property is unique in that you can hardly see another house from anywhere on the property and yet we are only 2 miles from
Barracks Rd. Shopping Center, and 4 miles from the University of Virginia.

Beautiful views surround the property and only minutes from the city!

Taking a relaxing sunset walk around the farm. 

You get access to this cool pagoda that includes kayaks, a gas grill, tables and chairs.
