About this property

NEW Modern barnhouse w/heated pool, views & 21 acres - close to UVA & Vineyards!

California meets Charlottesville! Huge luxury, open plan design with 28-foot ceilings in the main barn inspired living area and soaring ceilings throughout. Ten foot high doors and windows showcase the stunning mountain views from almost every room! Enjoy Radiant heat concrete floors, large open plan professional kitchen for entertaining equipped with double ovens, 60-inch Wolf range, two super quiet Bosch dishwashers, two sinks and double 7 foot islands with thick Carrara marble counters. Also features grand Thermador fridge freezer and large walk in pantry with microwave.
Farmhouse table with views of the 24 by 48ft heated pool and mountain vistas beyond. Panoramic windows and sliding doors open to the poolside patio with ample outdoor seating and grill. The property is placed to enjoy mountain views on three sides! Clad in black ship lap and stone, High Barn is reminiscent of the vintage barns found scattered across the Suffolk countryside in England, while the open and modern interiors give the relaxed Cali vibe and the clean lines offer Scandinavian simplicity.
May through early October (weather permitting) enjoy the (24 by 48) heated pool in complete privacy. In cooler months sit by the fire pit and enjoy a hot toddy!
All five bedrooms feature super comfy, king size beds with memory foam mattresses and smart TV's. Three bedrooms open onto the pool deck. All three bathrooms offer oversized showers, with the master also featuring a huge free standing tub with mountain views! Each and every bedroom offers stunning views from large architectural windows.
There is a spacious lounge in the main living area with an open wood burning fire, perfect for relaxing with your morning coffee or a pre-dinner cocktail. An additional lounge offers a down-stuffed sectional, large TV and a freestanding Swedish fireplace. If you want to get your Netflix fix then relax in the media room offering 6 reclining movie seats and several plush beanbags for your ultimate viewing pleasure. The home showcases some wonderful art from around the world, including many large abstract pieces painted by the home owner who is an abstract artist.
The property is situated in glorious countryside. Only 20 mins to UVA and Downtown and less than 10 minutes to many vineyards and breweries this area is so well known for.
Main Street, with its renowned restaurants and bars is around 20 minutes drive. King Vineyards with their seasonal Sunday polo matches is less than 8 minutes drive. Veritas, Pippin Hill and so many more vineyards and Breweries are within 10-15 minute drive.
So whether you are here for a family gathering, mom's weekend, attending a wedding or UVA event- there is so much to experience and it is all close by.
There is also plenty of land for ball games and a large fire pit for roasting smores.
This unique property offers you the very best of modern architecture and home comforts right in the heart of Charlottesville.
High Barn is newly built and available for select rentals, but we have hosted two previous homes in the area boasting 5 star reviews (more than 90) and many repeat guests. Our family love to travel and we understand what makes a home a special place to stay.
High Barn is our family's full-time home and WE DO NOT offer/permit events or parties.
Property Owners may reside on site during rentals in private owner's cottage with separate entrance and grounds. As your hosts we will give complete privacy and allow you to enjoy the property without interruption.
Our maximum guest policy is 10 people which includes both adults and children and no additional people are to be included or invited to the property at any time during your stay. Whilst on over 21 acres, we expect all guests to be mindful of their activities and actions so as not to cause disturbance to neighbors or our family, at any time day or night.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS:
Q: If I have a small group can I get a discount because we won't be using all 5 bedrooms?
A: We do not reduce the rate for smaller groups. The house is prepared and vacated for your reservation and it makes no difference to the owners whether you use all five bedrooms or not.
Q: I know you say no events, but if I am having a very small wedding can I rent your home?
A: We cannot host events of any nature. We would require an events license and we do not wish to have events at the home. We want it to be used as a residence only.
Q: We are coming to Charlottesville for a bachelorette weekend, can we rent your home?
A: We are happy to rent our home to a group who are here to celebrate an upcoming wedding so long as the celebration portion is off site. We do not want any late night partying or loud music at the home. We host lots of ladies groups, but we do ask that you do not plan any events or festivities at the property that could disturb us or our neighbors.
Q: Can we have friends/family visit us during our stay?
A: We have a strict policy of 10 guests maximum at all times. This means that if your group has 10 guests you may not invite additional people to the property, even if they are not staying the night. If you have less than 10, we are happy for you to have people up to the maximum amount to come and visit during your stay. Please communicate with us about any additional people who are not booked in as overnight house guests. Please be mindful of the maximum number of cars (5).
Q: We have more than 10 people in our group, can we have additional guests if they provide their own bedding?
A: No, our maximum is set at 10 as we have 5 king beds and house systems are set up to support this number of users at any one time.

Summary
It is a great property in which to spread out and relax. Great views. Suggestions: 1) a few hooks in the master bathroom would be helpful, 2). Some hangers with a crossbar are needed for men's slacks and suits.

Wonderful Wedding Weekend
If you are looking for a special home in a beautiful setting for a large group, look no further, you have found it! High Barn is a top notch, spacious, and comfortable home with beautiful grounds. The floor plan and outdoor space is wide open with lots of room to be together and apart. The kitchen is well stocked and the surrounding sitting areas are perfect for relaxing and hanging out. Helen and Graham are great hosts. They were attentive and responsive and answered all of our questions leading up to and during the stay and provided wonderful recommendations for whatever we were in search of. What you see on line is what you get + so much more. I highly and unequivocally recommend a stay at High Barn.

Paradise
Perfect getaway for a large group. Lots of room both inside and out. Gorgeous views with a wide open floor plan. Wonderfully stocked for cooking and chilling. It’s hard to leave the house to see the rest of the area. Helen and Graham were the perfect hosts. They responded quickly but were not overbearing. Whoever stays here is in for a wonderful time with special memories.

Rural Retreat
My family and I had an amazing stay at Helen and Graham's "barn." We arrived late in the evening and were greeted by the fireflies in the adjacent fields and enjoyed some treats that were left by our hosts to welcome us to their property. Our family felt at home right from the start. The house is amazing - very high ceilings and windows that frame the fantastic views of the hills and the Blue Ridge Mountains. The interior is thoughtfully designed with plenty of comfy seating and a super fun theater room for guests to enjoy a movie night or play video games together - a big highlight for our all of our kids. Be sure to take time to look at the art hanging on the walls - so many beautiful pieces to look at. The layout of the floor plan is great - there are a few bedrooms grouped together in one wing and a couple of other bedrooms that are in different sections of the house to accommodate for all types of groups. The kitchen has all the essential dishes, glasses and appliances and there is a laundry room that is available for guest use as well. As gorgeous as the inside of the house is, the outdoors will compete for your attention. The sunsets were an event each evening and we were lucky to be able to enjoy time out on the back patio and make use of the pool. The views and surrounding areas are like classic Americana paintings. Thank you, Helen and Graham, for being such terrific hosts and making our trip so memorable! Can't recommend highly enough!

About the host

Hosted by Graham and Helen

Host profile image
Graham and Helen moved to Charlottesville in 2015 after buying land and designing a modern farmhouse in which to raise their family. In mid 2022 they moved in to High Barn, the dream home they designed and built on the most beautiful piece of land with panoramic mountain views and over 21 rolling acres.
Graham was born and raised in Washington DC and Helen is from England.
After traveling the globe for business, they settled in Virginia in 2001 where Helen opened and ran two very successful fashion businesses, which she sold in 2015. Since then she has been enjoying the life of an artist, working with abstract acrylic and mixed medium.
Graham is a Senior Director of a company based in Southern Virginia and when he's not traveling he is working from home. They have two sons who are students at UVA and two dogs named Wallace and Nell. Their home is built for entertaining and enjoying time with family and friends.
