Madison County Virginia Historic Home and Farm for Sale

Have you been dreaming about a beautiful old country farmhouse with a white picket fence? Look no further than this meticulously restored 1830's historic home and farm in the quaint village of Rochelle, Virginia. Located in Madison County, Rochelle is approximately 30 minutes north of Charlottesville and an hour & 40 minute drive from Washington, D.C.

The Battle of Jack’s Shop Road, an important Civil War skirmish, took place nearby here.  Confederate General Jeb Stuart, though surrounded on three sides by Union soldiers, managed to guide his troops through a gauntlet of enemy soldiers and cross a narrow bridge to escape to safety.  Though the Union and Confederate armies were only 20 miles apart, the battle claimed nearly 2,000 lives.  As a result, The Battle of Jack’s Shop resulted in heavy casualties for both sides.  Thus, many of the local homes were converted into hospitals to care for the wounded of both sides.

The 22+/- acres are perfect for a small farm. The rolling fields are currently used to grow hay but could easily be fenced for horses, cattle or other livestock. The current owner, who enjoys growing fruit, has established a small orchard of peaches, apples and grapes.

The Victorian-style home provides for both formal and casual spaces with lots of room and good flow for entertaining. The large kitchen with its "old-time" ambience is a great gathering spot. The kitchen opens up to the fabulous patio for wonderful outdoor entertaining as well. The home has three bedrooms on the second level and three and one half baths, formal living and dining areas as well as a great family room.



Offered for $795,000
