ABOUT THE OWNERS
Nico, originally from Holland, working all over the world and Kim a working actress and model based in Los Angeles paths crossed over 25 years ago on a flight from London to LA, and nothing has been the same since.

Since they met, it has been their dream to live on a farm; little did they realize this farm would be historic and in Virginia. The tree-lined driveway, beautiful buildings, rolling pastures, and wooded forests with the Blue Ridge Mountains in the backdrop, they knew this was the dream they always wanted and they wanted to share their love with anyone who is interested.

Countryside Living In A Historic 18th Century Estate
Welcome to gorgeous and historic Green Springs Historic Farm. Conveniently located just 20 miles from Charlottesville, VA and surrounded by Virginia's finest wineries, the estate provides the perfect break from city life. Our beautiful home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and our rich land is placed in a National Conservation Easement. The Main House was built circa 1772 by Colonel Richard Morris, who served with General George Washington in the French and Indian War and later was the Paymaster for the Revolutionary War.. The three dependencies that surround the Main House remain from around the same time period.

Nestled in an enchanted backdrop of 255 acres including forests with meandering trails, 2 ponds and a large 30 acre private lake, rolling pastures with beautiful stables for horses, Green Springs Historic Farm offers numerous amenities for all.
* Note;
We have horses on the property / pastures please do not feed them.

Green Springs Historic Farm was built in 1772 in Gordonsville, Virginia by Colonel Richard Morris (c.1740-1821). He developed 1,746 acres of very fertile land by the mineral springs that gave the property its name.

Col. Morris was the Commissary for the Virginia Troops during the Revolutionary War and during this time his good friend Patrick Henry would frequent the property. His eldest son, Dr. James Maury Morris, inherited the home and property, and when Dr. Morris died in 1844, the home passed on to his son, William. The house was sold in 1877 after William was killed in battle during the Civil War. Green Springs Historic Farm has changed owners several time over the decades, but the integrity of Col. Morris home has remained constant.

The Green Springs National Historic Landmark District contains 14,000 acres of fertile agricultural land and more than 250 original eighteenth and nineteenth century homes, barns and other outbuildings. Bounded by Route 15 and Route 22 in the western end of the county, the area is six and one-half miles long, four and one-half miles wide. There was an early Quaker settlement in the 1720's on Camp Creek. Soon after, several families moved up from Hanover county, established major farms, and, over succeeding generations, intermarried, adding farmhouses and manors through the mid-1860's. A drive through Green Springs today reveals pastoral vistas and "an assemblage of rural architecture that is unique in Virginia," according to the Virginia Landmarks Commission.
