Description

Creoch--Ideally located just 5 miles west of Charlottesville along the beautiful Garth Rd. corridor, this unique Albemarle estate features a grand 5-bedroom brick manor house (c.1912), a spacious 4-bedroom guest house/2nd dwelling, and a cozy 1-bedroom cottage, all on 17 picturesque acres. Privately situated at the end of a quiet country lane, the rolling acreage includes a large, fenced pasture, spring-fed pond, hardwood forest, and mountain views. The main house of over 6000 sq. ft. is an authentic Elizabethan half-timbered Tudor, with antique and reclaimed materials from the surrounding region, including hand hewn oak timbers, 200-year-old handmade brick, roofing slate and wood flooring. Inside, this magnificent home is formal in scale and proportion, yet charmingly unpretentious, warm and welcoming. The 2nd dwelling, appealingly private from the main house, has evolved into a comfortable home of 3700 sq. ft., with fine materials, generous spaces, and delightful pool area. Both homes are lushly landscaped. With magnificent scenery from an unspoiled viewshed surrounded by over 500 protected acres, Creoch’s peaceful location is absolutely unbeatable. Offered for sale for the first time in 45 years.
