A private, modern home with a tiny, quaint fieldstone studio/office/guest cottage in Ivy only 15 minutes from Charlottesville and the University of Virginia. 206 acres rising over the crest of Taylors Mountain at 1,440 feet in elevation. The residence is designed for maximum natural light and the enjoyment of the Blue Ridge Mountain views, with high vaulted 13 foot ceilings and large windows. One level living at a grand scale with large and spacious rooms. The finished living space is complemented by expansive outdoor covered porches, a terrace and a fabulous screened-in porch. This 2-bedroom house was designed as a three bedroom home, but one bedroom was opened up to serve as a family room instead. Large gas fireplace, hardwood floors and a generous hallway are just a few features. The unfinished basement could serve as a great workshop with ample storage. Extensive trail system and old logging roads to the top knob of Taylors Mountain and waterfall. Fenced paddocks for horses, other livestock and farm animals. Elevated pasture behind the house is well-suited for a small vineyard at 725 feet. Truly a private domain yet so close to Charlottesville.

RA
Rural Areas District
This district hereafter referred to as RA is hereby created and may hereafter be established by amendment of the zoning map for the following purposes: Preservation of agricultural and forestal lands and activities; Water supply protection; Limited service delivery to the rural areas; and Conservation of natural, scenic, and historic resources. Residential development not related to bona fide agricultural/forestal use shall be encouraged to locate in the urban area, communities and villages as designated in the comprehensive plan where services and utilities are available and where such development will not conflict with the agricultural/forestal or other rural objective. Where development does occur, rural residents should expect to receive a lower level of service delivery than will be provided to residential developments in designated growth areas. In relation to residential development, agricultural/forestal activities shall be regulated only to the extent necessary to protect public health and safety.; In regard to agricultural preservation, this district is intended to preserve the county's active farms and best agricultural and forestal lands by providing lot areas designed to insure the continued availability of such lands for preferential land use tax assessment in order to enhance the economy, and maintain employment and lifestyle opportunities. In addition, the continuation and establishment of agriculture and agriculturally-related uses will be encouraged, and landowners will be encouraged to employ Virginia State Water Control Board best management practices.
