And are more affordable than to the north. All three counties have their share of fine 18th century historic houses. To the east of Albemarle County/Charlottesville are Fluvanna, Goochland, and Louisa Counties. Using Albemarle County and the city of Charlottesville as the center of the Central Virginia area, we have to the north: Greene, Madison, Orange, Culpeper, Rappahannock, Fauquier, Loudoun, and Clarke Counties. Greene was once the dumping ground for blue-collar workers who were priced out of Albemarle County in the 2004 building boom. Culpeper is a sleeper but also sadly in the sites of many large developers. Madison County is a great place to begin your search if you don’t mind being far from any urban amenities.Ĭulpeper and Greene are good places to look, as many of their historic homes are still affordable. The area is mostly untouched by developers and looks the way it did 150 years ago. Madison County which sits two counties north of Albemarle and below Rappahannock consists of verdant, rolling hills and backs up the ancient Blue Ridge Mountains. And Rappahannock has (Little) Washington. Each county has its own wonderful little town in it.

Virginia historic homes in Albemarle, Clarke, Fauquier, Loudoun, Orange, and Rappahannock Counties are the most expensive areas and hold many of the most exquisite historic homes in the United States.
