Broad Axe Road

Charlottesville, VA $595,000


On beautiful Broad Axe Road just west of Charlottesville, this private 86.35 -acre parcel is an outdoor person’s dream.  The property rises from the road to a broad plateau laced with Mountain Laurel hiking trails and mature hardwoods. This central plateau has numerous fine house sites, some with winter views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.  The property then descends through a protected ravine full of wildflowers, ferns and massive rock outcroppings.  The main trail follows Mechums River above a dramatic rock cliff and gravel beaches.   Several streams traverse the property and there is good potential for a large deep pond.  For hunters, fishers and lovers of the outdoors, this property is hard to beat and it is only about 10 minutes from Charlottesville. 

Note: the property comes in two parcels- one is 7.63 acres while the larger is 78.72 acres for a total of 86.35 acres.
