5 Virginia Homes with Mountain Views, Acreage, and Water Access

From its elevated setting in Charlottesville, this modern end-unit townhouse takes in panoramic mountain views, with a private rooftop deck overlooking Carter Mountain. Daily life centers on an open great room warmed by a gas fireplace, flowing into an eat-in kitchen designed for real use: abundant counter and cabinet space, a center island, granite counters, gas cooking, and a large pantry. Triple windows over the sink frame the landscape and pull natural light deep into the space.

With the pond as its backdrop, this custom-built Southland log home unfolds across 8.10 acres with serene views and a thoughtful open-concept layout.

Inside, two additional rooms with closets are currently used as bedrooms, adding welcome flexibility for guests, work, or hobbies.
