Fabulous Charlottesville
Real Estate
Charlottesville real estate means many things to visitors
when they begin looking for a Virginia property. Question? What are you looking for? We have some of the most spectacular horse farms in Charlottesville and many of them are
architecturally significant. Thomas Jefferson and his great friend, James Monroe, were firm believers in Charlottesville real estate. Jefferson
positioned himself, high on a mountaintop and watched from Monticello as The University of Virginia was built, knowing that some day real estate in Charlottesville would be so exquisite and
important.
Before we moved here in 1996 we
had circumnavigated every attractive, historic town in the eastern United States from Maine to Florida. We wanted the south (since we had
sold our 66 acre farm in Sharon, Ct) but we also wanted a cosmopolitan lifestyle similar to a rainy Monday night in Manhattan.
The knowledge of knowing there was
great theater and fabulous music whenever we needed it. Well, this is Charlottesville. We had found heaven. Charlottesville real estate it is, we yelled now find the
right Charlottesville home to please the lady of the house (the warden to me)! OK...We thought aloud so we'll buy a wonderful historic
Charlottesville home with 20 acres plus for $300,000 near the University of Virginia so our kiddies
can really get educated so they can become investment bankers and take care of us when we turn 60!
Wrong! Charlottesville Virginia real
estate even in 1996 was damn expensive. The only Charlottesville homes within our price range were in Fluvanna and Louisa. Scottsville was a possibility but that winding drive to STAB from there on the Scottsville
Road was a deal killer. Eventually we found a wonderful, 1754 disaster in Ivy with 10 acres of
250-year-old boxwoods and other native plantings.
This is it I thought...a real deal.
(I had no idea what Ivy real estate (it's the place to live today!) represented in 1996 and Crozet real
estate was still considered blue collar and too far.
I fought it out with my wife and
since it was the last of my inheritance I called the shots. Write up an offer I told my agent.
"We're going to rehab this fabulous
Albemarle County historic home and return it to its eighteenth century grandeur,” I exclaimed over the
phone. I that we did...We had a home inspection from an idiot who said all mechanicals were fine (Really? Maybe he conveniently failed to see the
rats had been gnawing away on the air ducts for 50 years or the house was rotting or over 1 million honey bees had called our log cabin home
since 1820.)
I sincerely hope this will happen to
you...this is the only way to purchase Charlottesville real estate. Buy low and sell high!
