Once a tavern and later a B&B, this enchanting 5BR/5.5BA farmhouse blends history, character, and rural beauty. Set on 20+ acres, it’s designed for a sustainable lifestyle with fenced pastures, a fenced vegetable garden featuring perennial herbs and medicinal plants, a creek, private pool, poolhouse, and multiple outbuildings—including a barn, stable, and greenhouse. A remarkable historic touch: the foundation of Fluvanna County’s original jail, dating back to 1777, still stands on the property. Inside, original woodwork, wide plank floors, working fireplaces, and 19th-century charm grace spacious gathering rooms and bedrooms. The farmhouse kitchen features butcher block counters and timeless style, while sun-drenched living areas open to wraparound porches and panoramic rural views. Additional highlights include a rustic wine cellar, upper balcony perfect for stargazing, and magical outdoor spaces ideal for entertaining or peaceful reflection. Convenient to town yet privately nestled among mature trees and trails, this property is a rare opportunity to garden, host, rest, and roam—all in one unforgettable place to call home.
