Whether your plans include horses, livestock, a small farm or simply enjoying a beautiful country home surrounded by land, this Madison County property offers many ways to make the most of its land.
Spacious Log Home Overlooking the Madison County Countryside
Built in 2006, the three-bedroom, three-bath log home offers approximately 2,622 finished square feet above grade plus approximately 1,180 square feet of finished walkout basement space. The home was designed to take advantage of its country setting, with expansive decks across both the front and rear providing generous outdoor living areas for enjoying the surrounding land, wildlife and mountain views.
All three bedrooms are conveniently located on the main level. The expansive primary suite provides a comfortable retreat with an updated bathroom. You will love the spacious glassed-in shower and the exceptionally large walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and a second renovated full bath are also on the main floor.
A main-level laundry and mudroom is particularly useful for country living, providing a convenient transition after spending time at the stable, working around the farm or exploring the property.
Open Living Spaces, Stone Fireplace & Year-Round Comfort
The main level has an open floor plan that brings the kitchen and primary living areas together, creating an easy, comfortable gathering space. A beautiful stone fireplace anchors the living area and is currently fitted with a wood-burning stove, adding warmth and character to the log home's interior.
In addition to the renovated bathrooms, recent improvements include a high-efficiency Trane heat pump installed in 2025 and instant hot water heater. A new well pump and pressure tank were added in 2024. These updates provide the comfort and efficiency important for daily living.
Finished Walkout Basement with Additional Living Space
The finished walkout basement adds approximately 1,180 square feet of flexible space to the home. The additional living areas provide room for recreation, hobbies, guests or simply spreading out, while a second woodstove creates another inviting place to gather during cooler weather.
The lower level also includes a full bathroom, storage areas and a two-car garage. Walkout access connects the basement directly with the surrounding property, adding to the usefulness of the lower level for an active country lifestyle.
Groffdale Barns Center-Aisle Stable
Just steps from the house is a well-designed 48' x 36' center-aisle stable with 10' shed-row overhang built by Groffdale Barns, a Pennsylvania builder known for its horse barns and stables. The center aisle is concrete. The barn is currently configured with four 12' x 12' stalls but was designed to accommodate as many as six horses with the addition of stall fronts.
The stalls are matted, and each has a "Dutch door" opening directly to a dry paddock area. Installed in the paddock is a heated auto-waterer with a consumption meter. The shed-row overhang provides additional shelter and creates a practical transition between the stable and turnout area.
A wash stall, tack room and hay loft provide the spaces needed for everyday horse care and storage. Good lighting and ventilation from overhead fans with speed control (four stalls) further enhance the stable's functionality and create a comfortable environment for both horses and their owners.
While the stable is an important feature for an equestrian buyer, the property's farm improvements offer possibilities beyond horses. Depending on a buyer's plans, the acreage and infrastructure may also work well for sheep, goats, chickens or other small-farm and homesteading pursuits.
Established Pastures & Three-Board Fencing
Beautifully maintained pastures secured by traditional three-board wood fencing surround the farm improvements and create an attractive setting for horses or livestock. From the house and decks, the open fields become part of the view and give the property the unmistakable charm of a true Virginia farm.
For a horse owner, having the stable, turnout and pastures close to the residence makes caring for and enjoying your horses part of daily life. Buyers interested in a small farm or homestead can envision their own livestock and agricultural pursuits, while those with no intention of farming can simply enjoy the beauty and openness the pastures bring to the property.
Large Detached Garage for Farm Equipment, Workshop & Storage
In addition to the two-car garage incorporated into the house, a large detached garage provides valuable space for tractors, mowers, farm equipment, vehicles, tools and recreational equipment.
The building also offers room for workshop and storage uses, an important practical advantage when maintaining a property of this size. Together, the detached garage and stable provide substantial additional utility without compromising the peaceful setting surrounding the home.
A Nature Lover's Sanctuary with Streams, Trails & Wildlife
Beyond the pastures, 3638 Oak Park Road becomes a nature lover's sanctuary. Two meandering streams border the property on three sides, while trails wind through park-like forests where you can take a casual afternoon stroll, ride your horse or simply enjoy the quiet of the woods.
Open fields, wooded cover, stream corridors and forest edges provide varied habitat for native wildlife. One of the property's special seasonal pleasures is watching the purple martins return each year, another reminder of the connection between the home and its natural surroundings.
The Blue Ridge Mountains provide a distant backdrop to the property, while the combination of pasture, forest, water and trails makes the acreage enjoyable whether your interests are horses, farming, walking, wildlife watching or simply having a beautiful natural setting around you.
44 Private Acres in Two Tax Map Parcels
The property consists of approximately 44 acres on two tax map parcels. The combination of open pasture, woods, streams and existing farm infrastructure gives the property versatility for a variety of country uses.
For an equestrian buyer, the Groffdale stable, established pastures, three-board fencing and riding opportunities provide a strong foundation for keeping horses at home. Someone interested in a small farm or homestead may envision livestock, chickens, gardening or other agricultural pursuits.
Or you may simply want to enjoy your gorgeous country home and setting without actively farming at all. The acreage provides privacy, beautiful surroundings and the freedom to enjoy the property at your own pace.
Private Madison VA Farm Convenient to Charlottesville, Washington, D.C. & Richmond
Although the property feels wonderfully private, it is conveniently located near the town of Madison. Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport is approximately 25 miles away, while both Washington, D.C. and Richmond are approximately 90 miles from the property.
This accessibility makes 3638 Oak Park Road appealing as either a full-time residence or as a Virginia country retreat. You can enjoy horses grazing outside your window, listening to the birds happily chirping as you wake in the mornings, walking the trails along the perimeter while the white-tail deer dart about, all of this without giving up reasonable access to Charlottesville or the major metropolitan areas of Washington and Richmond.
