Discover the homestead you've been dreaming of on this exceptional 20-acre property in the peaceful village of Rochelle, Madison County. Offering the perfect blend of privacy, self-sufficiency, and convenience, this tranquil country retreat feels worlds away while remaining just 4.7 miles from Route 29, with convenient commutes to Charlottesville (approximately 40 minutes) and Culpeper (approximately 30 minutes). A true homesteader's paradise, the fully fenced property features a stocked pond, mature fruit trees, and abundant wildlife. The well-built home offers comfortable single-level living with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The kitchen features custom solid-wood cabinetry and a sink perfectly positioned to overlook the surrounding fields. Thoughtfully remodeled in 2026, the home now boasts an open-concept living and breakfast area complemented by attractive wood-look ceramic tile flooring. The home was designed to give you the benefits of passive solar (not solar panels, though they'd work great here.) Solid wood doors and stained trim complement the hardwood floors. The primary bedroom enjoys beautiful pastoral views, extending even into the private en-suite bath. Just steps from the porch, the secluded pond provides a picturesque setting for fishing, unwinding, or simply enjoying the serenity of the outdoors. Designed with the equestrian enthusiast in mind, the property boasts an impressive six-stall barn featuring a heated and cooled tack room with an attached full bathroom, a hot-and-cold wash bay, and an expansive hay loft. Additional amenities include a spacious bluestone dressage sized outdoor riding arena and seven fully fenced pastures, offering an ideal setup for a small equestrian operation. With its combination of acreage, equestrian amenities, and exceptional versatility, this property also presents an exciting opportunity for a multigenerational homestead or family compound. The elevated area currently featuring a run-in shed offers beautiful mountain views and an excellent potential homesite for a second residence. Whether you envision a private country retreat, a thriving small farm, an equestrian property, or a place to bring family together, this remarkable Rochelle homestead offers the space, infrastructure, and setting to make that vision a reality.
