My family settled in what was to become Nelson County in the 1700's. The county seat, Lovingston was later named after my ancestor, John Loving. My career took me far from the serenity of Nelson County and to Washington DC. It was a weekend trip to visit family that brought me back to this beautiful county. At first, it was only a weekend retreat, but it soon became our full-time home.

Nelson County and the Wintergreen Resort have something for everyone. Condos next to ski slopes or champion golf, mountain cabins and farms. Outstanding skiing, hiking, biking, fishing, hunting, wine tours and amazing Blue Ridge Mountain views. It is also only thirty minutes from all the activities of Charlottesville, VA.

I invite you to use this web site as your Nelson County and Wintergreen Resort guide. It’s a guide backed by generations of family enjoying all this region has to offer. Use the Calendar of Events, The Weekend Adventure Guides and browse Current Nelson County Property Listings.

If you would like to experience Wintergreen and Nelson County from your current residence or office desk, schedule a live Nelson County webinar. I will show you the highlights during a free thirty minute web-based presentation. I will be there, live, to answer any questions as a real estate sales agent and as a county resident.

Once you experience Wintergreen and Nelson County, you will probably want to make the Nelson area your retreat, if only on the weekends. I can show you how to make a weekend retreat a reality or I can be your guide to making the area your primary residence.
