July is Volunteer Recruitment Month at JABA!
As the number of seniors and their caregivers keeps growing in our area, we’re stepping up our volunteer recruitment efforts. We’ve got a number of opportunities for people to really
Farm, Estate and Residential Brokers 503 Faulconer Drive ∙ Charlottesville ∙ VA ∙ 22903
DICK WOODS ROAD
make a difference in the lives of area seniors, their families, and caregivers and we’ll be focusing on five key areas where our needs are most pressing:
JABA Long-Term Care Ombudsman Volunteer Seniors living in nursing homes, assisted living, or receiving home care often have no one who’ll stand up for their rights. Our Ombudsman volunteers serve as powerful advocates for seniors and their families. If you’re a good listener, and can be assertive while being patient, we want to hear from you. JABA Neighbor-to-Neighbor Volunteer It can be lonely and isolating for seniors living at home with no family close by or the means to get around like they used to. Neighbor-to-Neighbor volunteers provide friendly visits, transportation, or home assistance to give seniors the support they need to live safely at home and maintain their independence. Volunteering at one of JABA’s Community Senior Centers With Centers in Charlottesville, Nelson, Greene, Louisa, Fluvanna, Esmont and Scottsville, there’s sure to be one near you. You’ll bring joy to the lives of our members — and into your own life — by leading and participating in activities involving the arts, crafts, games, music, exercise, and more. JABA Insurance Counseling Volunteer Navigating the complexities of health coverage can be overwhelming for seniors. Our volunteers help guide them through the process. With Open Enrollment for Medicare fast approaching, the need for counselors is urgent. We’ll also need support staff and data entry volunteers. Your help will have a huge impact on seniors seeking quality health coverage. FISH Volunteer FISH stands for Friends in Schools Helping, and it’s an intergenerational program that matches up an adult with a child in our local school system to serve as a school-based mentor. You’ll help boost the confidence of a child by helping them succeed in school. This is a very rewarding experience, and you don’t need a background in education to participate. Training dates are filling up fast, so don’t delay. Call 817-JABA or sign-up online at jabacares.org

NELSON COUNTY CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM
Offers Spectacular Scenery, World Class Festivals and a Host of Outdoor Activities
N
elson is a predominantly rural county across the Albemarle border a short drive south of Charlottesville. Its spectacular scenery and central location make it a popular choice for home buyers with jobs and commitments in Charlottesville (or the nearby communities of Lynchburg, Waynesboro or Staunton) who also want to enjoy Nelson’s peaceful non-urban lifestyle. It also attracts second home buyers who come to enjoy Nelson’s many yearround outdoor activities such as skiing and snowboarding in the winter and

golf, hiking, canoeing and camping in the summer. Once part of Amherst County, Nelson became a separate entity in 1807 when it was named for Thomas Nelson, Jr. who represented Virginia at the Continental Congress in Philadelphia, was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and served as Virginia’s Governor in 1781. Today the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Appalachian Trail wind through the county, which is also home to Wintergreen Resort. The county’s wineries, cideries, distilleries and breweries plus associated festivals and events are a large and growing part of what make
Nelson a popular place to visit, and it is not unusual for those who come to the area as tourists to fall in love with this beautiful place and decide to make it their home. A variety of different housing options are available and homebuyers can choose from mountaintop condos, homes on private rural acreage, or subdivision lots in communities such as Stoney Creek in Nellysford, which is part of Wintergreen. Buyers also appreciate the savings they enjoy from Nelson’s property tax rates that are less than for many nearby communities. The real estate market in Nelson continues to recover and business has

picked up substantially compared to a few years ago. Nevertheless, there are still many good deals in a market that is improving but still favors buyers. For all of these many reasons, Nelson is a popular choice for buyers such as young professionals, families with children, and retirees, as well as telecommuters who enjoy looking at a beautiful view while they work from home.
Gorgeous Views and Outdoor Activities Whether they live on rural acreage, in Stoney Creek, or high up on the mountain in Wintergreen or Montebello, Nelson residents enjoy spectacular views both at home and while commuting to and from town for work, shopping or to attend nearby cultural events. Panoramic views from the Blue Ridge Parkway or the Appalachian Trail are also well known and bring visitors who enjoy driving the Nelson Scenic Route via Crabtree Falls, the Parkway and down past Wintergreen to Route 151.

“It’s just a twenty minute drive to enjoy a very different atmosphere and views,” said Francesca San Giorgio, REALTOR® and broker with Four Seasons Realty, LLC in Nellysford, describing one of many reasons home buyers and tourists love Nelson. Tim Hess with Wintergreen Real Estate Co. explained that people come to Nelson to enjoy amenities such as the mountain views and the hiking trails. He added that buyers who enjoy more space to spread out appreciate the low density of the county which has only one traffic light, and where you rarely ever have to wait in line. Nelson’s many outdoor recreation options include activities such as hiking, canoeing, kayaking and camping. A unique resource for information about the outdoors is the Wintergreen Nature Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting appreciation and understanding of local natural and cultural resources. The Foundation sponsors educational activities for all ages and maintains 30 miles of hiking trails offering varying degrees of difficulty. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy the year round public course at Stoney Creek in Nellysford, and during the summer months can also play at the Devils Knob private course on the mountain at Wintergreen. Brian Chase, Managing Broker with Wintergreen Resort Premier Properties, loves to play at Devils Knob,

the highest course in Virginia. Not only is it 12–18 degrees cooler than in the valley during July and August, but he especially enjoys “the amazing views.” He urges visitors to bring their clubs and join him since even guests who are not great golfers can still enjoy the views. Devils Knob is open to property owners, their guests, and guests of the Wintergreen Resort. Of course, during the winter golfing gives way to skiers and snowboarders who take over Wintergreen’s slopes . Nelson County is both rural and spread out, but despite that, Hess said there is a genuine community feel there as people connect through institutions such as the Farmers Market, open Saturday mornings between April and November, and the Community Center. Natt Hall, Principal Broker with Madison Monroe Properties offered his view of Nelson residents as “an eclectic group,” who nevertheless get along well with each other in Nelson’s “harmonious, laid-back atmosphere,” thanks to their shared appreciation for the natural beauty and the fact that if you choose, “people leave you alone.”
Wineries, Breweries and Festivals Draw Tourists to Nelson While Nelson County has long relied on outdoor activities to attract

tourists, today that is just one strategy for bringing visitors to the county according to Maureen Kelley, Director of the Nelson County Visitor Information Center. She explained that the county had moved from being one that is “ski-centric” to one that offers year round activities. “We are no longer reliant on mother nature to keep visitors coming,” she said. Hess agrees stating that in years past, skiing was “the economic driver” for the county. However, that could mean if it wasn’t a great year for snow sports, visitors would stay home or go elsewhere. More and more, though, Nelson is becoming known for its wineries, breweries, distilleries and cideries drawing people from as far away as Maryland, Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Other Nelson County activities that brings out visitors and residents alike are the annual and popular music festivals. In 2016 the Lockn’ Music Festival will return to Oak Ridge Farm in Arrington August 25–28. This annual outdoor, four-day event attracts lots of visitors with over 70 percent coming from out of state Kelley said. Festy, another popular outdoor music festival, enjoyed five years at Devils Backbone Brewery, but this year will be in its new location at Nelson County Preserve August 7–9. Another local favorite is the annual Wintergreen Summer Music Festival and Academy featuring a wide range of

music and performers throughout much of July and continuing into the first week of August.
Nelson’s Real Estate Market San Giorgio described the current real estate market in Nelson as “busy” and one that has “absolutely” recovered quite a lot since the economic downturn of several years back. In fact she described 2015 as the best she has experienced in the last fifteen years. Marlo Allen, Associate Broker with Mountain Area Realty in Nellysford, is a native of Nelson County and passionate about helping people buy and sell homes there. She described the Nelson market as one that is “stabilizing.” Buyers can still find some good deals, and “properties that are priced appropriately are selling well.” Chase also saw a big increase in sales in 2015. Sales in Wintergreen declined in 2014 after the owner announced the resort was for sale. However, they were up 20 percent in 2015 after new owners acquired it ending the uncertainty he explained. In spite of the increase in sales in 2015, median and average values are still down, Chase said indicating that the current market there still very much favors buyers. CONTINUED ON PAGE 24

ou could start at Blue Mountain Brewery in Afton and sample a Classic Lager, then head eleven miles up the road to Wild Wolf Brewing Company in Nellysford, for an Alpha Ale. From there it’s just three miles to Devils Backbone Brewing Company, where their Eight Point IPA is named for the eight point bucks in the woods near the brew master’s house. Now you’re less than three miles from Blue Mountain Barrel House, where on the first Sunday evening of the month the thirsty gather for “Beer and Hymns,” or “singing and chatting over a pint.” Twenty-two more rural miles will take you to Starr Hill Brewery in Crozet, winner of twenty-one tasting competition medals. Follow Route 240 to 250 about six miles into downtown Charlottesville and finish your trip at South Street Brewery, the city’s longest-running brewpub.
In the early 21st century that urge to learn is upon us again. It helps that the water flowing down the Blue Ridge Mountains is perfect for the task, not too hard and with just the right mineral content so that brew masters can do their thing in any style they want. As the craft beer business has bonded to the Eat Local movement and “a beer” has come to connote, say, a Grateful Pale from Starr Hill as much as a PBR from far-off Milwaukee, creative types not dreaming up apps have been dreaming up recipes and flavor profiles, mixing Old World techniques with New World imagination. Virginia—once the “Hop Capital of the World”—has been nurturing the careers of a whole new generation of ambitious brewers. Mark Thompson is one example. The Starr Hill brew master was born and raised here, graduating from Western Albemarle High School and studying biology at James Madison University before taking his first professional brewing job In Portland,
COMMUNITY
Enjoy Virginia Craft Beer on
The Brew Ridge Trail
CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM
BY KEN WILSON
The road you’d be traveling is dubbed the Brew Ridge Trail, a scenic route through Nelson and Albemarle counties and into town from one craft brewery to another, with sample flights and full beers available along the way. Even your designated driver could have just one. American beer making is as old as America. George Washington brewed his own at Mount Vernon with hops, yeast and molasses and Thomas Jefferson, wine lover though he was, planted hops in his garden at Monticello in 1794. In 1813, with the help of an Englishman stuck here during the War of 1812, he actually began brewing. James Madison, contrary to Internet rumor, did not propose a national brewery and a cabinet position for a Secretary of Beer. But Jefferson did invite Madison to send someone to Monticello’s fall brewing in 1820, the better to make the stuff at Montpelier.
Oregon (where small-batch brewing in America first took off again) in 1992. When the building on Charlottesville’s West Main Street that had housed Blue Ridge Brewing Company, the state’s first craft brewing company, became available in 1999, “two and two made five,” and he bought it. Still named for that West Main neighborhood where it was born, Starr Hill has been out in Crozet since 2005. Producing 28,000 barrels a year, it’s now the largest brewery in the Commonwealth. Offering, as it does, two dozen or so varieties of beer, ale, stout and more, it’s still one of the little guys at heart, subject to flights of fancy that turn into flights of Sublime Citrus Wit, Habanero King of Hop, and Barrel Aged Tripel. Thompson thinks the opening of Blue Mountain Brewery Company in Nelson County in 2007 is what really
renewed local interest in craft beer. Today its twelve ales and lagers—10,000 barrels’ worth—are brewed, bottled, canned and kegged at its original site in Afton and down the road in Arrington at its new Blue Mountain Barrel House. Blue Mountain’s two hop fields in Afton and Arrington grow 1,000 hills of Cascade variety hops for its Full Nelson strong pale ale, along with its seasonal and harvest beer offerings. Every August it holds a Community Hop Harvest, including a free lunch to volunteer pickers. Blue Mountain’s Afton facility doubles as a full-service restaurant. Its drink selections include not only 8-10 Blue Mountain beers on draft, but local wine, cider and kombucha as well. Like Blue Mountain, Devils Backbone owns two sites. Their Basecamp Brewpub & Meadows outside Roseland sits on 100 acres surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains and offers outdoor activities including bike races, trail run races, and festivals as well as beer and pub fare. Their Outpost Brewery and Taproom, on a hillside outside of Lexington, houses a custom built brewery plus a Tap Room serving pints and sampler flights, and a bier garten open to picnickers. Mother and son team Mary and Danny Wolf opened Wild Wolf Brewing Company in 2011 in an old high school building in Nellysford, serving three core beers plus seasonal offerings. Today they’re up to six core beers and thirteen seasonal brews, tripling their initial production output. Their menu runs from Bavarian style sourdough pretzels and calamari to burgers and Korean barbeque tacos, and they pride themselves on their Farm to Fork initiative, obtaining all their meat within a thirty mile radius. South Street Brewery, now owned by the folks at Blue Mountain, occupies a warehouse dating back to the late 19th century, where it brews 650 barrels a year and serves twelve different brews, including its ever popular Satan’s Pony Amber Ale. Complementing the beers and beer samplers is a menu that leans heavily on locally sourced ingredients. Like the nearby wineries, that in many cases preceded them and remain popular, the breweries and brewpubs up and down the Brew Ridge Trail have become social hotspots, reliable places to find good bands and tempting food trucks, to hold a wedding reception, or just a good conversation. They’re innovative and intriguing. They’re the best of Central Virginia. n

“There are great opportunities for every segment of the vacation buyer market,” he said, explaining that there are even some condos available for less than $!00,000. Long term these kinds of prices mean the potential for “a good bit of equity...for the smart people who get into the market now,” Chase said. One indication of market activity is the number of days homes stay on the market (DOM) prior to being sold. The CAAR First Quarter Market Report showed that the median DOM in Nelson is longer than in other parts of our area. However the year over year figures showed a substantial decrease from 185 at the end of March in 2015 to 133 at the same time in 2016. The fate of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline is a big factor that is impacting property values all over Nelson County including at Wintergreen, and both Chase and San Giorgio expressed con-
Hall explained. Nelson residents can access care at Martha Jefferson, UVA and Augusta Medical Center or at the satellite clinics in the area. Another plus for all Nelson homeowners is the property taxes that are lower than in nearby areas. Its natural beauty, central location and many amenities also make Nelson a popular choice for people in the market for the perfect second home. Hall estimates that fully half of the Nelson real estate market is second home buyers.
Nelson’s History on Display Visitors and residents who are history buffs will find much of interest in Nelson County. A popular stop is Oakland, Nelson County’s Museum of Rural History housed in what was once a tavern or “ordinary,” and built in 1838. Early on it was a popular stop for those traveling by stage between what is now

cern about this issue. Chase believes that 2015 real estate sales would have been substantially higher without the pipeline controversy. San Giorgio described the pipeline as “a huge factor” affecting sales. She added that the issue may not be resolved until sometime next year.
Nelson’s Buyers With its central location between Charlottesville and Lynchburg, Nelson is very attractive to two income families with spouses working in each of the two cities. It is also a good choice for families with children who want to enjoy a more rural lifestyle and appreciate the local schools that, according to Hess, have “great facilities,” and yet are small enough where teachers know everyone and can offer a more “personal touch.” Many retirees settle in Nelson attracted by its amenities and the availability of high quality medical care,
Washington D.C. and Lynchburg. Exhibits include a tribute to Earl Hamner, Jr., creator of “The Waltons,” the Camille Room describing the powerful hurricane that caused massive loss of life and property in Nelson County in August of 1969, a history of the county’s schools and one featuring the challenges of rural electrification. Other places of interest include Pharsalia built in 1814 and registered as a Virginia Historic Landmark, and Walton’s Mountain Museum in Schuyler, a former school house now featuring replicas of rooms from the famous TV series as well as photos and memorabilia. If your family is ready to relocate to a beautiful, rural and close-in area, call your agent today about Nelson so that you can experience all this county has to offer before rising interest rates and prices make homes there a lot less afn fordable.
