NEWS & VIEWS

Local Real Estate News Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville and Lowe’s Unite Women to Spotlight Need for Safe and Affordable Housing through Home Builds and Repairs during International Women Build Week WHAT: Habitat for Humanity International, Lowe’s and approximately 6,000 women volunteers will unite in more than 235 communities in the United States, India and Canada for International Women Build Week from March 4-8 to highlight the global need for safe and affordable housing. A prelude to International Women’s Day, the global event aims to build and repair nearly 540 homes while raising awareness of housing issues facing women and their families. Habitat and Lowe’s are providing the tools for women to empower and educate themselves on skills used when repairing, restoring and constructing homes. By using the hashtag #BuildHer to share inspirational stories, experiences and ways to positively impact communities, Habitat and Lowe’s are uniting women for a central goal of encouraging and building each other up. Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville is building four new affordable homes on Nassau Street in Charlottesville. These homes will be purchased by local families who have partnered with Habitat to achieve their dream of a safe, decent affordable home. On Friday, March 6, 20 volunteers will hang drywall at the Nassau Street homes, assisting Habitat homebuyer

and single mother I’Knesha Pitts in building and purchasing her new home. I’Knesha is eager to move her family out of their current apartment, which is plagued by moisture issues. The mold aggravates I’Knesha’s asthma and causes her children to cough, yet she hesitates to let her daughters play outside. “There are cars flying back and forth and there’s a lot of violence going on over there,” she says. So, the family spends most of their time at her mother’s home. That will all change in just a few months. Through homeownership, I’Knesha will create a legacy for her children, Zy’Nique, Za’Myah, and Jy’Asia. They will be 25 percent more likely to graduate from high school and 116 percent more likely to graduate from college compared with children from families who do not own their homes, according to the Joint Center for Housing Studies. I’Knesha says their new home will provide a strong, lasting foundation on which the family can build a better future. “I want to have something they can fall back on, something to be ours,” she says. And soon she will. WHEN: Friday, March 6 from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. WHERE: 824, 826, 830, 832 Nassau Street. Street parking is available. BACKGROUND: The Lowe’s partnership with Habitat began in 2003; since then, the company has committed more than $71.1 million to support the nonprofit, impacting the lives of Habitat homeowners worldwide. Lowe’s support of Habitat’s Women Build has helped build, renovate or repair more than 5,325 homes with the support of more than 138,000 women volunteers.

About Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville brings people together to build and rebuild homes and communities while catalyzing new pathways to safe, decent affordable housing. Our work has evolved from building one house at a time to developing vibrant, sustainable, mixed-income communities, where hardworking local families can achieve their dreams of homeownership. Since our founding in 1991, we have built more than 200 new homes and safely housed 2,000 neighbors, thanks to the commitment and dedication of our thousands of volunteers and supporters. More information about Habitat is available at cvillehabitat.org. About Lowe’s in the Community Lowe’s has supported the communities where its associates live and work for more than 70 years. As a FORTUNE®50 home improvement company, Lowe’s is committed to creating safe, affordable housing and helping to develop the next generation of skilled trade experts through nonprofit partnerships. Across every community we serve, Lowe’s associates donate their time and expertise through the Lowe’s Heroes volunteer program.

Augusta County:

A

ugusta County, Virginia: a tilted, slightly rectangular patch abutting an upper north niche of the raggedy western border of the state. From the ground, say from the rolling farmland around Middlebrook (population 184), the view is both pretty and imposing, befitting the visage of its namesake, Princess (of Wales) Augusta of Saxe-Gotha. Yes, it’s a lovely place to live, this Shenandoah Valley spot of the Commonwealth, as its residents are quick to tell you. Valley views and forest trails, mountain hideaways, vineyards and beckoning farm stands. It’s no wonder that, as the county’s official website tells us, “Augusta County lives outside. We have fun outside, eat outside and, if we’re in the mood, even sleep outside.” Well, of course.

A Virginia Treasure BY KEN WILSON

Farming Not that the residents are all play. Augusta County has a labor force of nearly 32,000 workers. What’s more, the County’s unemployment rate is traditionally lower than in either the state or the country as a whole. Produce, grain, meat, and cheese—if you’re buying local, you may be buying from Augusta County farmers. Augusta has more farm acreage than any other county in Virginia, with an average

farm size of 188 acres. It is the state’s second-largest agricultural producer with, by latest count, 1,729 farms on 286,195 acres. Augusta ranks first in the state for production of beef cattle and sheep and is second in milk cow production plus one of the state’s largest poultry producers. “The agricultural component is a big part of who we are as people and as a community,” says born and bred

Augusta County resident Amanda Glover. “The farms in Augusta County contribute to our beautiful landscape and our agricultural heritage [and have] shaped our strong work ethic for centuries. We have both traditional farming operations as well as fascinating agritourism destinations, including a farm-brewery with hops grown on-site.” Over 40 Augusta farms are open for touring, including Cool Breeze Farm in Mt. Sidney, Long Roots Farm in Middlebrook, Middle River Farms in Grottoes, and Pebble Hall Wildflowers & Herbs in Weyers Cave, where visitors can pick their own edible plants and wildflowers. Polyface Farm, owned by bestselling author and sustainable farming advocate Joel Salatin, is one of forty stops on Augusta’s Fields of Gold Farm Trail. The farm receives hundreds of visitors weekly and offers three types of tours:

CESTARI SHEEP & WO0L COMPANY

Stable Craft Brewing in Waynesboro, open Wednesday through Sunday, grows a variety of hops for its beer. In addition to farming, Augusta’s economy is diverse; manufacturing accounts for approximately 30 percent of the jobs in the County, but the governmental, services, and trade sectors are also strong. Two of the largest local employers are Target and the Augusta Correctional Center The small, family-owned Cestari Sheep and Wool Company in Churchville, founded in 1968, raises sheep and manufactures knitting and crocheting yarn. Motel, inn, bed & breakfast and Air BNB owners prosper as well in Augusta. The area’s beauty, easily accessible from the Interstates, attracts tourists at great benefit to the economy.

NORTH MOUNTAIN OUTFITTERS

Chimneys this year, July 10 through 12. Horse lovers love to ride and even camp overnight at North Mountain Outfitter in Swope, where instead of pasture or open farm land, they can negotiate mountain trails with moderate inclines and water crossings. Others just relax for a weekend at the 2,400 square foot, Old West style bunkhouse, unwinding in the great room by the fireplace, sitting on the porch overlooking the lake, hiking, mountain biking, or fly fishing, then easing into the hot tub at the end of the day. Cavers know that Grand Caverns in Grottoes was discovered in 1804 and opened for tours in 1806, making it the oldest continually operating show cave in the U.S. Both Confederate and Union soldiers used it during the Civil War, and there are over 200 verified civil war signatures in the cave. Today all tours of Grand Caverns are led by a guide. The park at Grand Caverns features a miniature golf course, a swimming pool, fitness, hiking and cycling trails, and river access for fishing, plus picnic areas including five shelters available for rental.

The Waynesboro Farmers Market at the Pavilion at Constitution Park, downtown, is in operation 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays. In ancient days, the Shenandoah Valley was a great inland sea. Evidence of that time may be seen today in Mt. Solon, where the receding sea carved

out seven limestone “chimneys,” once known as the Cyclopean Towers, rising as high as 120 feet. Natural Chimneys Park is open from dawn to dusk, seven days a week. The campground reopens in May.

Climbing, hiking, or just touring with the top down makes a body hungry and thirsty. Fortunately, Waynesboro’s Stable Craft Brewery has nine beers and three ciders on tap daily; its kitchen serves burgers, tacos, skillet plates and other hearty, beer-friendly food. Serious beer lovers can begin their marriages adventurously by serving wedding guests a self-styled brew, crafted with the help of Stable’s own professional brewers, then kegged and poured on-site. Wedding parties may wish to stay at one or more of Stable’s four suites—the Farmhand, the Allegheny, the Paddock, and the Blue Ridge. An even more extensive selection of beers, plus kombucha, may be found at


Seven Arrows Brewing in Fishersville, including a kettle sour called Sour Grapes, brewed—you read that correctly—with 30 percent cabernet sauvignon grapes.

The next Cowgirl Weekend, with bunkhouse accommodations, meals and a back-country day ride, is May 15-17.

War History and Old Stuff

Come and Stay It’s a great place to visit and a great place to settle down. “Augusta County offers an affordable cost of living complemented by a great quality of life,” Glover says. “We appreciate the rural nature of the county, while at the same time being centrally-located with easy access to recreation, commercial development, and cultural aspects, such as great farm-to-table restaurants. For us, it’s the best of both worlds: we have a few acres and gorgeous mountain views but live only ten minutes from a grocery store.” Jennifer Shields of Augusta Realty

THORNROSE CEMETERY

Group, another lifelong county resident, tells the same story: “It’s a great area to raise [a] family,” she says. “It has convenient access to the interstate, if you want to go to Charlottesville, Richmond or Roanoke. And it’s a very beautiful area. It’s not so congested. It has a little bit to offer everyone. I grew up here and just enjoy it. “When people come to Augusta,” Shields continues, “they often say it’s very friendly, and a lot of times they come back. The prices of our properties are a little bit less than in Charlottesville; they can get more for their money.” Lynn Herman of Premier Properties agrees. “Tax rates are so different from Charlottesville,” she adds, noting that this is a good time to buy. Herman points first-time homebuyers to the east (Waynesboro) end of the county, “because it has so much more connec-

tion with Charlottesville. You’re right there on Interstate 64, and you’re minutes from Route 81, where you can go north or south. The Waynesboro end of Augusta County is the most sought after at this point—I mean, there’s a Target! The economy in the Waynesboro area is great.” Outside of that small city “it’s just so scenic and quiet and serene,” she says. “There are large properties, if you want one. You have land and acreage that you can play with, if you have a family and kids and want to have a farm and let your dogs be fenced in in a beautiful back lawn. Plus, it’s close to your job, and close to grocery stores. If someone has no idea about the county asks my opinion, it would be the Waynesboro area for sure.” Business and pleasure, hill and valley and spectacular caves—Augusta County is a Virginia treasure.

After the Civil War, many Confederate dead from the battlefields of Alleghany, McDowell, Cross Keys, Port Republic and Piedmont were interred in the soldiers’ section. More Civil War history may be found near West Augusta at the Confederate Breastworks Interpretive Site, also popular for viewing fall foliage, a winding half-mile trail along the top of Shenandoah Mountain.

I first became a believer in reverse mortgages almost 20 years ago...

(before I was in the industry) when my parents first considered doing a reverse mortgage themselves. My Mom asked me to help her do some research and that’s what started me on my path of wanting to eventually be the expert on the subject. It’s amazing to me today that I still hear the same false rumors from people sometimes that I heard two decades ago. The mortgage company does not take title to your home and yes the heirs still inherit the home upon the borrower’s passing. Those are the two most misunderstood topics. And yes the money you receive is not income so it is not taxed as some people think. Also, Medicare and Social Security are not effected by the proceeds that you receive from a reverse mortgage. And yes it’s true that you are not required to ever make a payment for as long as you live in the home. I am very patient when I speak to clients and take my time explaining everything face to face with absolutely no pressure to move forward because I remember how much my parents appreciated it when the person that they worked with showed them the same respect. I have never experienced the Sunday night blues of knowing that you are going back to work the next day as some people talk about. My job is a career that I never plan on retiring from because I genuinely enjoy working with my clients and seeing how their lives are benefitting from eliminating debt and by opening up a line of credit that can be used to help them for the rest of their lives. Every client’s story is a little bit different but they are all hoping to achieve a better life and I enjoy being a small part in that story.

Augusta County:

Lots to See, Lots to Do

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

A

BY MARILYN PRIBUS

ugusta County, today the second largest in Virginia, was far larger in the past. In fact it originally encompassed a vast area with a sketchy western boundary including what today is much of West Virginia, all of Kentucky, plus uncharted territory beyond to the north and west—theoretically, all the way to the Pacific Ocean. In those days, the Blue Ridge was the far edge of civilization and the land beyond was nearly inaccessible frontier except for “gaps.” One such passage was Jarman Gap (sometimes called Jarman’s Gap) some six miles northeast of Waynesboro. Originally a buffalo trail, it became the major crossing of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the area. Three Notch’d Road, also called Three Chopt Road, was a major eastwest route across Colonial Virginia from the James River near today’s Richmond, on through Jarman Gap. Today,

however, Rockfish Gap between Augusta and Nelson Counties is the main crossing of the Blue Ridge for Route 250, Interstate 64 and the CSX railway system. During the Civil War, Augusta County was part of the “Breadbasket of the Confederacy.” After the Battle of the Piedmont, Union troops occupied Staunton, destroying many facilities supporting the Confederacy. Later Sheridan’s “Burning” destroyed many farms and killed virtually all of the farm animals.

Augusta County Today Much of August County’s landscape is unchanged since Civil War times, with an added wealth of recreational opportunities, museums, live theater, festivals, educational facilities, and many family-friendly attractions. The county boasts scenic beauty, natural caverns, and hundreds of miles of trails and roads to hike or bike. A

number of stables offer horseback riding, and golfing and fishing are popular as well. There are outfitters for Shenandoah River kayaking, canoeing, tubing, and rafting. Grand Caverns, on border with Rockingham County, was discovered in 1804 by Bernard Weyer and opened for tours as Weyers Cave two years later making the dramatic underground system the oldest continually operating show cave in the nation. It was called the Grottoes of the Shenandoah until 1926, and the renamed Grand Caverns was declared a National Natural Landmark in 1973. Tours are offered except on major holidays. Augusta County residents and visitors are regulars in Shenandoah National Park (SNP) for spring blooms, fall color, and hiking in every season. There are cabin and lodge rentals in the park and visitors have a chance to hike a portion of the Appalachian Trail, which is well maintained in the park. In fact, there are more miles of the Appalachian Trail in Virginia than any other state, and drivers cross the Trail more than 30 times within the park. A number of special-interest “trails” have been developed as well. For example, the Artisans Center of Virginia provides maps and artisan profiles for various Artisan Trails. These downloadable maps guide visitors to artists’ studios with a wide range of media from textiles to glass to metal to jewelry, painting, and sculpture. Some studios are open during specific hours, others suggest email to arrange appointments, while still others invite you to “stop by any time to see if we’re open.” History buffs will enjoy driving nearly a dozen self-guided “trails” through Civil War sites including some in Augusta County. Maps are available online through the Shenandoah Valley Battlefield National Historic District. Four specific scenic drives roll through Augusta County and are popular with motorists and motorcycle riders. The Shenandoah Beerwerks Trail is a different sort of trail and has three stops at Augusta breweries. Augusta County is a year-round home to theaters, numerous music festivals, farmers markets, and art shows as well. For more information check out: visitaugustacounty.com. The Frontier Culture Museum near Staunton is an outdoor facility open seven days a week for self-guided tours including hands-on activities and living-history interpreters. Waynesboro is home to the Augusta County Railroad museum.

Woodrow Wilson’s Presidential Library and Museum in Staunton offers tours of the birthplace of our 28th president with seven museum galleries, a 1919 Pierce-Arrow limousine and a realistic World War I trench exhibit in the basement with a periscope to peer over the trench’s edge and the sound effects of mortar fire. Wilson was our only president to hold a PhD and authored many books, which are also on display. Other museums include an Antique Automobile Museum, a Camera Heritage Museum and the Staunton Military Academy Museum/Virginia Women’s Institute for Leadership Museum on the grounds of Mary Baldwin University.

Important Services United Airlines serves Augusta County and surrounding area at the Shenandoah Valley Airport (SHD ) at Weyers Cave, about 12 miles northeast of Staunton. There is daily non-stop jet service to Chicago (ORD) and Dulles (IAD) with connections worldwide. And parking is free! The Valley is home to higher education providers including community, public, and private institutions. Mary Baldwin University in Staunton offers both undergraduate and graduate courses, while Blue Ridge Community College offers courses and certifications to students of all ages. For many, community college provides a low-cost starting point to universities and numerous courses are fully transferrable to other public institutions in the Commonwealth.

For residents and visitors, Augusta County is a wonderful scenic locale offering recreation, entertainment, and practical everyday public services. Marilyn Pribus and her husband live near Charlottesville and recently visited the Woodrow Wilson Museum. “It was interesting because we learned about Wilson and also a lot about that time in our country’s history,” she says.
