Why they chose this property
This property was a diamond in the rough. Originally built in the late 1800s, it had wonderful bones, historic detail and sound structure, but was yearning for some thoughtful and loving updates. Leslie & Dan picked this house because it's magical and the area because they are passionate about revitalizing Orange County and the town of Orange.
What makes this property unique
Boxwood Villa is set on a beautiful piece of property (13.5 acres) and is within walking distance to the adorable historic Main Street in the town of Orange. It has a .5 mile walking trail around the property and many picturesque picnic spots. Boxwood Villa is located in the heart of Central Virginia's wine country and within a quick drive visitors can access many historic sites (Montpelier and Monticello) as well as the adjacent historic towns of Gordonsville, Culpeper and Charlottesville.
