This is a great video produced by a local UVa law student here in town. Great overview of all that Charlottesville has to offer and the rich lifestyle that so many are drawn to!
Charlottesville 365; Crozet Arts and Crafts Festival, Fall 2010
October 4, 2010 by Sasha C. Farmer, REALTOR ® · 1 Comment
This year celebrates the 30th anniversary of the Crozet Arts and Crafts Festival, one of my favorite annual events in Charlottesville! The Arts and Crafts festival is located in Crozet, VA (which is part of Albemarle County), in the Claudius Crozet Park. It attracts artists from all across the region; this year boasting over 100! All types of artists are represented, including clay, drawing, pastels, fiber, furniture, glass, jewelry, leather, metal, mixed media, painting, photography, printmaking, wood and more. There is truly something here for everyone! Not to mention, opening day on Saturday could be a great opportunity for some last minute Mother’s Day shopping! Or Sunday could be a great day to take the kids so mom actually get’s a day off!
In addition to all of the incredible art, there is all-day live entertainment, children’s activities, and wine tasting for the adults! This years vineyards include Flying Fox (one that I’ve heard so much about but have yet to try!), DelFosse, Mount Fair, Mountain Cove, Stone Mountain, and Well Hung Vineyards (who I’ve never heard of before, but whose creative name and logos got a chuckle!). One of the entertainment highlights is Kid Pan Alley, which is a duo of musical artists, Paul Reisler and Terri Allard, who travel from school to school creating music with students and inspiring them to create their own. This two day event is truly packed with fun things to do, and all of the proceeds go to benefit and maintain the beautiful Claudius Crozet Park, a well-known and well-attended park that is a highlight of the area.
For the kids- the Arts and Crafts Festival has face painting, sand art, make-your-own crafts, and of course the added benefit of all of the future benefits that will be returned to the park!
The 30th anniversary is sure to be a hit, and it is a perfect opportunity for gift shopping, wine tasting, and a day of outdoor enjoyment!
Will we see you there?

2010 Annual Parade of Homes!
The Blue Ridge Home Builders Parade of Homes is an annual Charlottesville tradition that always occurs across two weekends (this year- October 9-10 and October 16-17) and showcases the best in new construction that Charlottesville has to offer. I know that for many people in Charlottesville who like to keep their eye on real estate, this is one of the most fun real estate events of the year! What better than touring through beautiful mint condition homes that are decorated impeccably to get great new ideas for your own home?!
I just had the privilege of judging several of the homes for the “Realtor’s Choice Award” that is awarded annually for each price range, and here are a few of my favorites you should be sure to check out if you’re in the market for new construction!
- 838 Belvedere Boulevard; Belvedere (Wendell Gibson)
- 854 Belvedere Boulevard; Belvedere (Stonehaus)
- 760 Belvedere Boulevard; Belvedere (Piedmont Realty and Construction)
- 821 Cole Street; Belvedere (Southern Development)
- Blandemar Farm Estates (Doug Kingma)
- 848 Colridge Drive; Kenridge (Craig Builders) Attached Home.
- 2123 Sundown Court; Pavilions at Pantops (Southern Development) Attached Home.
- 5237 Raven Stone Road; Foothill Crossing (Craig Builders)
- 393 Claremont Lane; Old Trail (Craig Builders) Attached Home.
- 2580 Palmer Drive; Keswick Estates (Alexander Nicholson)
- 118 Turkey Trot Lane; Spring Creek (Piedmont Realty & Construction)
But I just bought a home/am not looking to buy a home!
Whether you are in the market to buy a home or are just looking for fun and interesting remodeling ideas for the home you’re already in, this is really an excellent opportunity to learn more about our local builders, learn about the local new construction landscape, and check out the new and upcoming trends in real estate construction.
For a full list of the 28 homes on display in the 2010 Parade of Homes, click here!
Just don’t get all googley-eyed and forget to involve your favorite Realtor!
Remember: If you are currently in the the market to buy a home, many of these developments are represented by salespeople who are employees of the builder and who aren’t licensed real estate professionals. I always recommend getting involved with a Realtor before making any significant real estate decisions!
Which home is your favorite??
Dates: Saturday October 9 – Sunday October 10, AND Saturday October 16 – Sunday October 17, 12P – 5P.

Charlottesville 365; Starry Nights at Veritas Vineyards
July 9, 2010 by Sasha C. Farmer, REALTOR ® · 4 Comments
Starry Nights at Veritas Vineyards is one of my all-time favorites of Charlottesville summers! Starry nights is a once monthly concert series at Veritas, that runs from June through September. It’s a fairly low-key evening where you are welcome to come to Veritas and picnic out under the stars, or you are also able to sit down to a catered meal from the Veritas chef’s with each course paired with wine.
This evening is an awesome combination of live music, wine, and the great outdoors! Bring your family, friends, blankets, lawnchairs and dancing shoes for an unforgettable night under the stars. Space is unlimited and tickets can be purchased the night of the event.
Cost is $15/person at the door- this buys you entry to Starry Nights and a Veritas glass. You can also buy tickets online in advance if you’d like. They do take cash or credit card at the door and the line is not bad.
Here are some Starry Nights tips for beginners;
- Bring blankets, lawn chairs, and a table if needed.
- It is especially fun to get a group of friends together and have everyone bring a side dish and their own blankets/chairs/etc for seating.
- Depending on your picnic, you may also need to bring plates, napkins, cups, cutlery, trash bags, bug spray, candles, etc.
- No outside alcohol is allowed! Make sure to bring cash or credit card to purchase Veritas wine on site! They will sift through coolers to check!
- Don’t forget to bring ID’s!
Some other information directly from the Veritas site;
Suns: $15/pp Includes admission ticket and a Veritas wine glass. Bring your picnics, tables, and lawn chairs to sit on the lawn. Space is unlimited and tickets can be purchased the night of the event.
Moons: $35/pp Includes admission ticket and a seat at a table on the lawn and the buffet meal. Limited availability, so book early!
Stars: $50/pp Includes admission ticket, buffet meal, and a seat at a table on the deck with full-service. Limited availability.
Questions? Please call 540-456-8000 ext. 108.
The 2010 line-up;
- Saturday, July 10th, 2010, 7-11 pm with Abbey Road – Beatles Cover Band
- Saturday, August 14th, 2010, 7-11 pm with Little Freddie King – New Orleans Blues Legend

Will we see you there??
