crozet: What is Crozet or should I say who is Crozet? - 08/01/09 07:51 AM
What is Crozet or should I say who is Crozet? The community of Crozet began as a whistle stop on the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad in 1876 that was established at the request of the Miller Manual Labor School (the Miller School), which had been founded a year earlier. It was named for Colonel B. Claudius Crozet (1789-1864), a French born civil engineer and artillery officer under Napoleon who is best remembered as the chief engineer for the seventeen mile long railroad tunnel through the Blue Ridge Mountains. Since its inception, it has functioned as a distinct settlement with a unique … (3 comments)

crozet: Crozet Artwork in an unlikely spot.... - 05/08/09 06:47 AM
As you drive under the train overpass in Crozet you can not help but see the artwork on the side walls.
Many towns have grafitti or "tags" I for one am certainly glad we do not.
Just one more little thing that makes this area (at the base of the Blue Ridge) special.

crozet: Crozet, Graffiti or Art? - 06/07/08 03:08 PM
The town of Crozet is really not very big. I often hear from people who are visiting that say today, we are driving out to Crozet. I have mixed thoughts when I hear that. First, I love Crozet but to me it is more of a feeling that a place. Second, I think people expect to find a small town and it is not really even that.
Sure there are a few restaurants, a store, a post office, a library and even a train but Crozet is more about the feeling and the area at the base of the Blue … (12 comments)

crozet: The Handoff... - 05/25/08 07:56 AM
Why did I refer you to another agent? (The Handoff)
When you contacted me you were looking for a specific type of property in a certain area. Well I want you to know that that is not my expertise. However I know the agent you need to work with.
I am not brushing you off at all, I am looking out for your best interests. I have learned over the years that clients will respect you more if you give them "full service" and sometimes full service is letting go of a commission in the best interests of the … (20 comments)

crozet: New Construction - Walk Though in Crozet (Old Trail) - 05/05/08 12:14 PM
When my clients decided to build we set out for quite a journey. Building a home is never easy, but it is very rewarding!
You can actually get what you want!
What my clients wanted was a first floor master with a large porch and a view! Not to much to ask for, but it did not exist.
So we went ahead and built it in Old Trail, Crozet Virginia.
Last week we did the main walk-though and my people got first had explanations of the systems in their new home.
We got the first floor master, open floor plan and a grand view!
It took … (7 comments)

crozet: "New Urbanism" what is it? - 10/09/07 04:12 PM
This is a new approach to community living and there are several areas on the cutting edge.
Old Trail is one such area. Located just outside of Charlottesville Virginia along the Blue Ridge Mountains in the small town of Crozet. This is just a wonderful area.
Old Trail Village is a mix of townhomes, signal family homes, shops and golf!
It is still in development and is very exciting.
This "new urbanism, is a life changing idea (from the past) coming back into fad. Walk to the store, less cars, less smog a slower pace of life. There … (16 comments)

crozet: Crozet Virginia - Old Trail - 07/30/07 05:59 PM
The movie "Even Almighty" was filed in Crozet Virginia, just outside of Charlottesville. It was in a wonderful neighborhood called Old Trail at the base of the Blue Ridge mountains. This is a photo I took of the ARC being built. It was amazing and as I showed Real Estate in Old Trail with a client, we drove by an elephant that splashed my truck with water!
A wonderful area, hope you enjoy it!
