A renovated 1840s farmhouse on 3.58 acres with mountain views, gigabit internet, and easy access to Charlottesville—Drovers Rest offers the country lifestyle without giving up modern convenience. This four-bedroom, three bathroom home is tucked into the scenic countryside of Southern Albemarle County, just minutes from Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards.
Historic character has been thoughtfully preserved while the home has been extensively updated. The kitchen features a farmhouse sink, butcher-block countertops, new cabinetry, and new appliances. Original wood floors, fresh interior paint, updated bathrooms, and working fireplaces create a warm, move-in-ready interior. The laundry room includes built-in cabinetry and a seating bench, while the spacious first-floor bedroom with its own fireplace provides flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or a private office.
Upstairs are generously sized bedrooms with room to relax and unwind. Additional features include a Rinnai tankless water heater, two porches, a patio, and a detached two-car garage with abundant storage.
Outside, enjoy mountain views, the sounds of a nearby babbling brook, established blueberry bushes, Concord grapevines, and garden areas already in place. There is space to grow vegetables, raise chickens, entertain, hike, or simply enjoy the privacy and natural surroundings.
Firefly gigabit internet is available, making remote work and streaming easy. Approximately 18 minutes from the Barracks Road area and adjacent to the preserved countryside of Bundoran Farm. Homes offering this combination of historic charm, acreage, scenery, and proximity to town are rarely available. Schedule your private showing today!
