About This Horse Farm in Albemarle on 15 Acres

Nestled in the heart of Farmington Hunt country, this well-maintained horse farm spans 15 acres, w/ 3-stall barn expandable to 5 stalls, paddocks, special care dry lot track, automatic waterer, and five-acre flat hay field/schooling area. Located just minutes from fox hunting fixtures, the farm provides easy access to a vibrant equestrian community and the area’s rich traditions. Set amidst perennial gardens and mature trees, the 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom house envelops you in a warm ambiance, where every corner feels inviting, and every window frames a storybook view. The soaring ceilings in the great room uplift the spirit and open living spaces allow for a gentle flow from the foyer to the great room, kitchen, and sun room. The kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring custom no-VOC maple cabinetry and large island. Just off the kitchen, the sun room has direct access to the patio surrounded by perennial gardens and the peaceful sight of horses grazing nearby. The formal dining room opens to a deck and connects to the LR through pocket doors. This is an exceptional offering in Albemarle County.

While this property is perfectly designed as a horse farm, the charm and versatility makes it ideal for a variety of uses. Located just 25 minutes from Charlottesville, this is an opportunity to own a retreat property in a beautifully scenic area of Virginia.
