Description
Chellowe is a classically inspired, Palladian style manor set in the idyllic, rolling hills of Eastern Buckingham County. Surrounded by acres of green pastures and open fields, it offers privacy and beauty that only nature can provide. The immediate grounds and manicured lawns comprise 8 of the acres and include a covered outdoor kitchen with stone patio seating, a formal garden with stream, raised garden beds and four-board fencing. The remaining 150 acres- comprised, in equal measures, of open fields and old growth hardwood forest- ensure tranquil solitude and magnificent views. Built between 1820 and 1840, Chellowe combines the historical charm of the nineteenth century with the convenience and comfort of modern amenities. A fully renovated kitchen comes complete with updated appliances, island and domed ceiling breakfast area. Additional interior features include library with fireplace and book-match walnut paneling, mahogany paneled bar, staircase with hand painted de Gournay wallpaper, and two formal hallways with floor to ceiling windows. Three bedrooms come fully furnished with walk-in closets and full baths, and three other unfurnished rooms have bedroom possibilities. There are laundry rooms on both floors and an elevator to access it all. The two-story entrance boasts a circular driveway, two car garage with built-in storage, and double porches that feature a superimposed portico, supported by four pairs of Doric columns on each level. Equestrian facilities are a short walk and are fully available at an additional monthly cost. Those grounds include a five-stall impeccably designed and equipped stable, three pastures with running water and sheds, riding rink and horse trails. Located just 20 minutes from the charming college town of Farmville, 45 minutes from Charlottesville and one hour from Virginia’s capital, Richmond.
