This is the perfect homestead that everyone is looking for. Located in the quiet village of Rochelle in Madison County, this peaceful 20 acre sanctuary feels miles away, but is only 4.7miles from route 29 for commuting to Charlottesville (40min) or Culpeper (30min). Self-sufficiency awaits on this fenced farm with a fully stocked pond, mature fruit trees and abundant wildlife. The well built home offers one-level living with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The kitchen has solid wood custom made cabinets and a sink that looks out over peaceful fields. The property was tastefully remodeled in 2026 to open the living and breakfast rooms and add wood-look ceramic tile flooring. The master bedroom offers beautiful views - even from the private bath suite! The private pond is just a stone's throw from the porch - offering ample opportunities for fishing or relaxing by the water. The property was designed with the equestrian in mind with a well built 6 stall barn that features a heated/cooled tack room with an attached full bathroom; hot and cold wash bay, massive hay loft, spacious bluestone outdoor riding arena and 7 fully fenced pastures. This is the perfect small equestrian operation or possible family compound - as the hill currently featuring a run-in-shed offers beautiful mountain views and would make a fabulous second home site.
