About This Home

Just south of Gordonsville, this 15-acre horse property offers a rare mix of comfort, function, and open space. A private drive leads to a 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath 1940s cottage with nearly 1,900 SF of living area, featuring hardwood floors, a fireplace, a sunlit family room, and a practical mudroom. A heat pump provides year-round comfort, and the home rests on a solid block foundation with a metal roof. The land is open and usable, with fenced pasture, mature trees for shade, and well-planned infrastructure for horses or small farm use. The main barn measures 220’ x 54’ and includes thirteen 12' x 12' stalls, each with rubber mats, automatic waterers, and electric outlets. A 54’-diameter indoor round pen and a 90’ x 250’ outdoor ring with river sand and sawdust footing offer ideal riding conditions. Five paddocks, three with run-ins, each have their own hydrant. The barn also features two hot water heaters and a bathroom. Zoned A-2, no HOA. Well and septic in place. Located off Route 15, less than 5 minutes to historic Gordonsville and about 30 minutes to Charlottesville. A well-equipped, manageable farm - ideal for training, boarding, or simply enjoying country life with purpose-built amenities already in place.
