Cottage on quiet farm close to town and wineries | House in Charlottesville
1 Bedroom House in Charlottesville
Auburn Hill JEFFERSON cottage Circa 1802 offer a peaceful private setting on a historic horse farm once owned by Thomas Jefferson and part of the original Monticello estate, a UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE. with close proximity to wineries (10 minutes), town (12 minutes), Monticello (next door neighbor), Rivanna River(borders the property) Carter mountain (8 minutes), Clifton Inn ( 2 minutes) and many other activities. The cottage dates back to 1805, the property was once part of Monticelo and owned by Thomas Jefferson. It has been completely updated and modernized, combining the best of both worlds. There is a private lake (catch and release fishing), along with a 14 foot dingy for those qualified to operate it!
A "Jimmy Buffet Key West" 20 x 40 heated salt water pool complex including a PRIVATE HIIGH END JACUZZI FOR EACH COTTAGE unit, a large grill with side burner, two large bars, pavilion, indoor/outdoor showers, bathroom/changing room, multiple outdoor games, two fire pit, two double hammocks and mountain/pasture views with complete privacy to enjoy the area. Most times it will be only you at the pool area. It is a working farm so there will be help around the farm to keep it well groomed for visitors.
Magical setting for watching wildlife like the bald eagles soaring down the river, multiple deer grazing in the fields, geese and ducks floating on the lake, or Great Blue Heron trying to catch lunch. Once on the farm you do not see any close neighbors (cottage is near main house, but situated to maximize privacy), unless you count looking up at the distant hillside to Monticello(see photo). The whistle or light rumbling of the distant train across the river can be heard on occasion. You can walk down to the rivers edge and sit on a large bolder watching the occasion kayakers floating down the river(or bring your own). James Monroe's home is only 10 minutes away, along with 14 wineries and 15 beer or cider breweries within 10 miles of the farm.
There are hiking trails on the farm and adult tire swings for your use. Feel free to bring your bikes or kayaks with you. No one will bother them at the farm and you will make good use of them in the area. Additionally I own another farm with 1100 acres about 15 minutes from Auburn Hill farm with extensive roads, trials and a large 13 acre lake which guest can use if requested.
I have owned a hotel and travel a lot, so tried to be thoughtful on the issues that bothered me when living out of a suitcase or backpack. Welcome feedback to correct any I missed or did not think of when remodeling the cottage for guests. Please contact me during your stay with any concerns or questions. There are boxes of artifacts (also many highlighted around the property) that I can make available if there is any interest in the farm or surrounding area history..kick back and enjoy your stay.
