"We?ve truly cherished our time in our Barboursville home?a quiet, peaceful retreat that offered the kind of solitude you can only find in the Virginia countryside. From planting gardens in the spring to gathering around late-night bonfires and watching movies under the stars, every season here has brought its own kind of magic. Living just a short drive from Shenandoah National Park has been a dream for us as hiking enthusiasts, with trails and breathtaking views always within reach. And being just a stone?s throw from Charlottesville has meant easy access to a vibrant blend of history, culture, and charm. We?ve loved spending weekends exploring the area?s historic landmarks, savoring meals at diverse local restaurants, wine-tasting at the region?s many scenic vineyards, and enjoying the area?s rich live music and arts scene. Barboursville itself is a gem?home to the beautiful ruins of Governor Barbour?s mansion, surrounded by vineyards and rolling hills that feel like something out of a postcard. This area has given us the best of both worlds: peaceful rural living with all the culture and activity of a college town nearby. It?s been more than a place to live?it?s been a place to thrive, grow, and make lifelong memories."
