f you want to live in a beautiful setting with mountain views and some of the area’s finest wineries and historic sites, consider Orange County. Orange County residents not only enjoy these amenities and many more, such as quaint shops and great restaurants, but depending on where they are located in the county they can be within easy driving distance of Charlottesville, Richmond, Culpeper or Fredericksburg.

Orange County has a proud history dating back to 1734 when settlers made it a legal entity separate from what was then Spotsylvania County. It has been home to two presidents, James Madison and Zachary Taylor, and during the Civil War, it was the site of the Battle of The Wilderness, the first meeting between Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E Lee.

Why Buyers Like Orange County

SEPTEMBER 19 – 25, 2013 ISSUE 22-38

Today Orange County continues to have a large agricultural base, and is one of the state’s top grape producers. However, companies as diverse as defense contractor Aerojet, book publisher MPS, and infant formula distributor, PBM Products have chosen to locate there, bringing new jobs and opportunity to this largely agrarian area.

Another bright spot in Orange County is the residential real estate market. Local agents are optimistic, stating that the market has started to pick up and homes are moving once again, including some that have been on the market for a very long time.

Peace and quiet are two big reasons why people move to Orange County, said Jack Samuels with Jack Samuels Realty. People like the relaxed lifestyle, and many also enjoy great mountain views and the small town atmosphere available in both Orange and Gordonsville. “People all know each other,” he continued, adding that he also appreciates that he only has to contend with one traffic light on his way to the office every day.

Pat Crabtree, with Montague Miller and Co., loves the charming feel of the town of Orange where she has

her office. It’s a little like Mayberry RFD, she said, describing the park and the farmer’s market on Main Street. People who choose to live outside of town also enjoy beautiful farmland with fenced pastures and gorgeous mountain views, Crabtree explained.

Rick Walden, with Virginia Estates, once lived in the part of Orange County called Somerset. He described it as “the jewel of Orange County,” with its pastoral rolling hills reminiscent of the English countryside. This part of Orange County is home to a number of large estates and historic homes, including Frascati, built in the early 1800s for Philip Barbour, who was an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Another historic home in this part of Orange County is named Annandale and served as a hospital during the Civil War.

Orange County’s Real Estate Market The Orange County agents are optimistic about the market. As in other parts of our area, the market in Orange County is definitely improving,

JACK SAMUELS REALTY Inc.

Samuels said. He explained that prices have stabilized, more real estate is going under contract, and the average number of days on the market has decreased. All of this has created a good problem. The inventory of homes is low, which means sellers have a lot less competition. At the same time prices have not started to rise substantially so buyers can still find good deals.

The market has improved across the board, Samuels said, explaining that it’s not just low-end properties that are moving. Some really good news is that agents in his office have seen the sale of high-end properties, some of which have been on the market for more than two years.

Crabtree described the market as one that is “slowly improving.” She explained that the county assessments had been too high for a time. Two years ago they were reassessed and prices moved to what she called a more “normal” level.

While sellers are happy about the improved market, buyers still will find favorable prices, particularly compared to what they were when the market was at its peak, which, combined with today’s low interest rates, means buying a home in Orange is still very affordable even for first timers.

First Time Buyers Welcome First time buyers who want a few acres in the country can find what they are looking for in Orange County, Crabtree said. They will also find opportunities in town as well as in nearby subdivisions, such as Poplar Forest and Orange Estates.

Samuels agreed, saying that there are even some properties at or under $100,000 available in this area. This means, first timers with good credit can find a home in Orange County and still be within commuting distance of jobs in Charlottesville. Even Richmond is accessible for people who live near Gordonsville and Interstate 64.

Who is Moving to Orange?

Dolly Madison’s gravestone

There is something for everyone here, Crabtree said. Many retirees appreciate Lake of the Woods, a large gated community in the northeast end of the county. This neighborhood is also popular among families since it offers a lot of recreational activities, including two lakes, a golf course, swimming pools, tennis courts and an equestrian center.

In addition to the public schools, families who live in Orange County

COUNTRY ESTATES/LAND

have the option of two private schools, including Grymes Memorial, a day school for kindergarten through 8th grade, and Woodberry Forest, a boarding school for high school aged boys.

Woodberry Forest has a long history and was originally owned by James Madison’s brother.

Retirees also like Orange because “they’re looking for peace and quiet,” said Samuels. Many move to the area from Northern Virginia looking for more calm after the high powered pace of life they had become accustomed to while still working. Often they visit the area first as tourists. They come to tour the wineries, enjoy the Montpelier races or stay in the B & B’s.

“People are always passing through,” Samuels said, “and when they see what Orange has to offer, often, they decide to stay,” he added.

Another reason Orange appeals to retirees is that their money will buy so much more there than in Northern Virginia and other urban areas. For what they would spend for a typical Washington area suburban house they can get a home on a good sized piece of land with space to spread out, and of course, now that they have more time, Orange County continued on pg. 20

While many Orange residents move there from Northern Virginia, others come from much further away, learning about it first online. Samuels described a client from Egypt who is working with one of his agents. He has been talking about moving to Orange County for some time, but recent unrest in his home country has convinced him to make the move soon.

A Great Place to Visit Orange is a great place to live, and it is also a wonderful place to visit. Whether you are a visitor or decide to become a permanent resident, you won’t run out of things to do in Orange.

Festivals are a big draw and thousands come every year. A good example is the 10,000 people who annually visit the Orange Street Festival the first weekend in September. This year’s was the 38th annual event and featured live music, activities for children, vendors of all kinds and plenty of great food.

In August, downtown Orange is also host to the annual event called Edible Fest, which highlights regional growers and features chef demos, guest speakers, vendors, musicians and special activities for families and children.

It’s not too late to attend the Gordonsville street festival, which happens every year on the first Saturday of October. This festival is held on Main

Street and features live entertainment plus food and crafts. Sponsored by the Volunteer Fire Company Auxiliary, the festival is a huge fundraiser for their organization.

Visitors with an interest in history will also find a lot of activities to look forward to in Orange. A big one is Montpelier, which was the home of James and Dolley Madison. Madison became the fourth President of the United States in 1809 and by then was already considered the Father of the Constitution. He lived at Montpelier for 76 years and married Dolley, the nation’s first First Lady, at age 43. A recent restoration of the mansion was completed in 2008. Today, historians and curators are in process of researching and furnishing Montpelier to assure that it closely resembles the Madisons’ life as it was in 1820. The mansion and grounds are open to tourists between April and October.

Another popular tourist stop is the Exchange Hotel in Gordonsville, which was once an elegant stopover for travelers. During the Civil War it was converted to a hospital where doctors and nurses treated over 70,000 sick and wounded soldiers from both sides of the conflict. Historic Gordonsville, Inc. restored this building in 1971 and converted it to a Civil War museum with three floors of displays featuring medical equipment, uniforms and weapons.

Gordonsville is also known for the African-American women who carried Orange County continued on pg. 22

In honor of those women, the town hosted the first annual Gordonsville Famous Fried Chicken Festival in May of 2013, which showcased artisans, crafts, food and cook-off contests featuring fried and grilled chicken, pies and a variety of other foods.

Orange County is also known for its vineyards, and many visit for tours and wine tastings. One of the best known is the Barboursville Vineyards, created by Gianni Zonin on an historic property originally owned by James Barbour, Virginia’s 19th Governor and friend of Thomas Jefferson. Zonin succeeded with a plan to grow grapes and make wine after many others, including Jefferson, had failed. Today, visitors can taste the wine, go on a self-guided tour of the Barbour home, or enjoy a picnic on the grounds. Overnight accommodations and a gourmet restaurant are also available.

The Montpelier Hunt Races are one of the big events, which Samuels said draws people from out of the area and “gives them a reason to stop.” The result is that often they decide to come back and live permanently in Orange.

The races are a steeplechase event and were started in1929 by Marion duPont Scott, the daughter of William DuPont, who purchased the Montpelier property in 1901. duPont Scott, often called America’s First Lady of Racing, lived at Montpelier until her death in 1983. At that time, the duPont family transferred the property to the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The Montpelier Races are an important annual event on the steeplechase circuit, and are held every year on the first Saturday of November.

Central Virginia is Home to Remarkable Historic Sites

By Marilyn Pribus

“A

lbemarle and the surrounding counties are a treasure trove of historic sites that are as varied as they are fascinating,” declares REALTOR® Janet Matthews, owner of Charlottesville Town and Country. Matthews, whose UVa degree is in Art History, helped curate the 1993 Architectural History of Jefferson’s Academical Village exhibition at the UVa Art Museum. “I actually handled Jefferson’s original drawings for the University,” she says.

“I also own a farm where Lafayette camped. The ramparts that were hand-dug by his troops are still present.”

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

COMMUNITY

Monticello

Indeed, the area’s historic sites have a strong appeal to residents and visiting history buffs alike and include the homes of our third, fourth and fifth presidents.

Number one on the list is unquestionably Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s beloved mountaintop home. Our third president’s “architectural masterpiece” is the only home in the U.S. listed as a United Nations World Heritage Site. The iconic design of brick and while pillars is echoed throughout the region from UVa to churches, government buildings and homes.

At one time Monticello fell into such disrepair that horses were stabled in the building. Today, however, after years of restoration and the addition of a remarkable visitor center, it is open for guided tours. It’s hard not to feel a chill when standing in Jefferson’s bedchamber and hearing the guide explain that he died in that very room on the Fourth of July, 1826, the fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. (John Adams, the second president, died hours later on the same day.)

Residents of Charlottesville and Albemarle County and UVa students can receive a discounted Monticello Day Pass with proper proof of residence, such as a driver’s license, or current UVa ID. Even better: The Pass is free when accompanying an adult paying full price.

There is a visitor center, a café and an extensive gift shop. For more information, visit www.monticello.org.

Montpelier

In the days since our fourth president James Madison lived at Montpelier, his Orange County home, the house had been added to and remodeled and ultimately hidden beneath peach-colored stucco. Today however, Montpelier is part of National Trust for Historic Preservation and many consider the $24 million restoration project, completed in 2008 to return it to its original handsome appearance, to be the most significant of our generation.

The feasibility study alone took almost two years.

Information came from many sources such as an old insurance survey, letters detailing the placement of paintings in the rooms and even wallpaper scraps retrieved from an old mouse nest.

Ash Lawn-Highland, historic home of President James Monroe

The Visitors Center has a gift shop with nice quality items and a snack bar. There are picnic tables and visitors are welcome to bring a picnic. For more complete information, visit www.montpelier.org.

Ash Lawn-Highland

Ash Lawn-Highland, the home of our fifth president James Monroe, is close to Monticello. It has more of the feel of a working farm and special workshops are offered on such diverse occupations as candleand rope-making, paperquilling and creating tin lanterns. It also hosts special events such as weddings, lunches, dinners, and conferences.

Like Jefferson and Adams, Monroe also died on the Fourth of July, but five years later. Ash Lawn-Highland was bequeathed to the College of William and Mary where Monroe had studied and the College initiated programs in restoration and interpretation. Visitors gain a glimpse of life in the 1800s though arts and crafts demonstrations on the grounds and tours of the home. Included are special tours for Girl and Boy Scouts or school groups. In addition to tours, Ash Lawn-Highland offers space for parties, meetings, picnics and even weddings.

Local residents in nine nearby counties have a special reduced entry fee. For more information visit www.AshlawnHighland.org.

Elsewhere

Of course, there is a wide variety of other historical spots to visit ranging from Gordonsville’s Exchange Hotel (now a Civil War Museum reputed to have resident ghosts) to Scottsville’s Hatton Ferry across the James River (the last hand-poled ferry in the U.S.) and the Barboursville Ruins (the remains of a mansion, destroyed by fire more than 100 years ago, now part of a winery and a stage for live theater productions).

There is information online and at the Visitor Center at the East End of the Downtown Mall. Special combination tickets are available for several venues.

“Our Virginia heritage continues to attract visitors,” says REALTOR® Matthews. “Some of them fall in love with the area and decide to move here. Once they do, the myriads of cultural choices become destinations for family and friends when they visit.

From presidents’ homes to the ruins at Barboursville to the grounds of the University of Virginia, the appeal is broad and serves to enhance awareness as people experience the places where American history was made. “ Marilyn Pribus and her husband live in Albemarle County. When they have out-of-town visitors, Monticello is always their first stop.
