Set among some of the most prestigious and historic estates in the greater Charlottesville area in one of the most lovely and historically significant districts of Albemarle County is The Farms at Turkey Run. Boasting spectacular views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, flowing streams, quaint ponds, beautiful rolling pastures and country wooded areas all within an 800-acre haven surrounded by the 5,000 acres of protected rural splendor that is Mount Ida Reserve.
WWW.THEFARMSOFTURKEYRUN.COM Situated along Blenheim Road just 12 miles (15 minutes) south of the City of Charlottesville, Virginia, Turkey Run is within minutes of Monticello, Ash Lawn-Highland, University of Virginia (UVA), Dave Matthew’s Blenheim Vineyard and Trump Winery
Residents receive preferred status at The Lodge at Mount Ida Reserve, a renovated 100-year-old 12,000 sq ft building conveniently located within minutes of every estate site. With its oversized indoor and outdoor stone fireplaces and distinctive oak timber framing, the Lodge serves as an enticing base from which residents can participate in private guided activities within Mount Ida Reserve. Fly fishing in one of our 21 lakes, horseback riding, bird hunts and skeet shooting are but a few of the amenities offered residents within this private 5,000 acre reserve.

I’m a different kind of investment manager. I am accountable and I am transparent.
Accountable in that we assume 100% of the responsibility for ALL
investment results – this is not how your current manager structures responsibility, but should be. Additionally, I am transparent in that I do not invest in high-cost, confusing and proprietary products. And because I work independently, my fees are significantly lower. People too often forget that a dollar saved in costs or fees is actually worth more than a dollar earned from investment returns (thanks to taxes). What is absolutely compelling is that fee savings represent risk-free returns to investors and I deliver it all at a personal-but-sophisticated level of service.
fees matter and your fees should be half what they are presently complexity is unnecessary and counterproductive to consistent investment returns Every person is a cost – get your assets as close to the investment decision maker as possible.

The inspiration for ACFJ’s designs arises from Ana’s cultural background and traveling experiences. The pieces are modern interpretations of details found in centuries old monuments and buildings that are transposed to smaller objects of wearable art. For ACFJ, the process of jewelry making is a meticulous one, where special details are embedded in the piece to tell the wearer their personal, intimate story.
