Welcome to "The Meadows."

This 18th-century cattle farm is an absolute dream come true. Built in 1754, it has the classic features of an elegant Virginia estate. On paper, it has 5 bedrooms, but with 432 acres to expand, you could build anything you can dream up.

7877 Meadows Farm Road in Gordonsville is currently listed for $2,950,000 by Howard Hanna Real Estate Services. It is located just minutes from Charlottesville and I-64.

The interior of the home is gracious and cozy, with formal receiving rooms and an updated farmhouse-style kitchen. Open archways lead your guests organically from room to room.

Upstairs, the veranda leads out to the most amazing view of the grounds. What a wonderful place for your morning coffee!

The charming back porch provides the perfect spot for entertaining on warm spring nights. Just imagine how beautiful it would be to enjoy a cocktail out here, counting fireflies and catching up with your friends.

Your overnight visitors will love the old kitchen house. It has been converted to a guest house with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a full kitchen of its own. It would also make an excellent home office for anyone who needs to telecommute.

The property has been a working cattle farm since 1948, but you could easily turn it into anything your heart desires. There's more than enough room to plant acres of grapes and start your own winery, or put in an extensive fruit orchard. This location and the hundreds of acres of rich farmland would be ideal for just about any agricultural endeavor.

For more information, or to schedule a tour of the property, see the original listing.
