Grey Oaks is a magnificent 53-acre estate in Free Union, offering total privacy and stunning views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Rolling meadows, mature oaks, tranquil streams, and two ponds—one stocked—create a breathtaking landscape. The custom-built residence by Shelter Associates boasts six bedrooms, six-and-a-half baths, and superb craftsmanship. A soaring great room with exposed beams and a fireplace anchors the home, complemented by a chef’s kitchen, elegant dining and breakfast rooms, and a cozy paneled den. The light-filled primary suite enjoys a private wing with his & her bathroom, while a separate three-bedroom guest/in-law retreat features a full kitchen, dining area, and loft-style family room with a fireplace. Extensive porches, a three-bay garage, an 1,800± sq. ft. barn, and no conservation easement enhance the property’s appeal. Walking trails, a charming creekside bridge, and raised garden beds complete this extraordinary offering. Only 15 miles NW of Charlottesville and the University of Virginia.
