Peaceful getaway

The property is on a large piece of land, near a main house and a few other cabins. They are all 18th century restored buildings, and while they are in

Lovely property

We were only in the Charlottesville area for two nights but we were so pleased with the little cottage off the beaten path. Everything was clean and the bed upstairs was very comfortable. The stairs are a little terrifying, especially at night, but nothing deliberate focus couldn't handle. The clear skies and stars at night make any concerns about staying at this property melt away. My husband has already said we're staying here again if we go back to Cville.

About the host

Hosted by Nicolaas ( Nico in short )

Please visit

Nico originally from Holland working all over the world and Kim a working actress and model based in Los Angeles paths crossed over 25 years ago on a flight from London to LA, and nothing has been the same since.

Since they met, it has been their dream to live on a farm; little did they realize this farm would be historic and in Virginia. The tree-lined driveway, beautiful buildings, rolling pastures, and wooded forests with the Blue Ridge Mountains in the backdrop, they knew this was the dream they always wanted and they wanted to share their love with anyone who is interested.

Why they chose this property

Welcome to gorgeous and historic Green Springs Plantation! Conveniently located just 20 miles from Charlottesville, VA and surrounded by Virginia's finest wineries, the estate provides the perfect break from city life. Our beautiful home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and our rich land is placed in a National Conservation Easement. The Main House was built circa 1774 by Colonel Richard Morris, who served with General George Washington in the French and Indian Wars. The three dependencies that surround the Main House remain from around the same time period.

Nestled in an enchanted backdrop of 255 acres including forests with meandering trails, 2 ponds and a large 30 acre private lake, organic, rolling pastures dotted with live stock, beautiful stables for horses, Green Springs Plantation offers numerous amenities for all.

What makes this property unique

Green Springs Plantation was built in 1772 in Gordonsville, Virginia by Captain Richard Morris (c.1740-1821). He developed 1,746 acres of very fertile land by the mineral springs that gave the property its name.

Col. Morris was the Commissary for the Virginia Troops during the Revolutionary War and during this time his good friend Patrick Henry would frequent the property. His eldest son, Dr. James Maury Morris, inherited the home and property, and when Dr. Morris died in 1844, the home passed on to his son, William. The house was sold in 1877 after William was killed in battle during the Civil War. Green Springs Plantation has changed owners several time over the decades, but the integrity of Col. Morris home has remained constant.

* Note;
We have horses on the property / pastures please do not feed them.
