Located along the bend of the Rivanna Reservoir from which it takes its name, Horse Shoe Farm is a rare and special offering - a comprehensively renovated early Virginia farmhouse situated on 8.3 acres minutes from Charlottesville. Eligible for the National Registry, the historic central core of the home dates to 1793, preserving original flooring, woodwork & mantels, along with high ceilings & gracious proportions. The owner has undertaken a meticulous, no-expense-spared renovation - copper roof, Hardi Artisan siding, updated systems/mechanicals & modern kitchen & baths. The result is the definition of understated elegance - a comfortable & inviting home full of character that perfectly blends historic Virginia architecture & modern convenience. In addition to the main house is a beautifully curated 680sf cottage offering 1 level living. Horse Shoe Farm is a magical place to entertain w/ large events having been hosted here on the expansive patio under the tree canopy & lights to more intimate gatherings around the fire pit & BBQs on the deck. Enjoy lazy days outdoors on the covered daybed or be inspired to garden in the Instagram worthy potting shed. Rural living w/o sacrificing convenience - 2mi to Whole Foods & 15 min to UVA.
