About This Home

As of May 2025

Located in Free Union, this beautifully landscaped 5.16 acre parcel offers winter mountain views and summer wooded privacy. A wonderful country property that has plenty of room for expansion with a full unfinished walk-out basement and full walk-up attic. The residence has a generous covered brick front porch and a very large sunny rear deck off the back with views over the expansive lawn. Hardwood floors throughout this 4 bedroom, 2 bath home with open living, dining, kitchen. So much opportunity to customize in the large unfinished terrace level. The property is complemented by a two-car detached garage, large workshop, equipment building/shed and chicken coop. The land has mature trees that create a park-like setting with two streams that converge at a lower terraced area adding a wonderful recreational area. So many possibilities! Meriwether Lewis, Henley and Western schools. Easy drive to Cville, UVA and Crozet.
