I work a great deal with those wanting to relocate to an area that offers a vast array of cultural and outdoor activities, yet with a much needed slower pace. Let me tell you about some of those such as the Lenfest Center for the Performing Arts on the campus of Washington & Lee,with over 127 public performances each year, they offers plays, lectures, ballet, opera to name a few. Next would be The Theater at Lime Kiln (a 19th century lime kiln and quarry) with its restored arched hearth kilns and towering stone chimney, there is nothing more spectacular then a a concert or play under the stars. VMI (Virginia Military Institute) also has a vast array of activities that go on through out the year and as always they public is invited. For the outdoor lover, we are located at the foot of the Beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, the parkway with its many hiking trails and waterfalls is within a 15 minute drive from Lexington. The Appalachian Trail, it's here too. Take leisurely stroll by the Maury River on the Chessie Trail. Hike to Panther Falls, how about a drive out to Goshen Pass where in the summer you can crawl out on massive rocks and sunbath, The drive in the spring offers Mountain Laurel and Rhododendron and the fall colors are unbelievable. If Rafting, tubing and canoing are your thing. The Maury River runs through Lexington and Buena Vista and turns into The James River near Glasgow (10 minute drive) offering several classes of rapids. A new indoor/outdoor pool has just been completed for those of you that enjoy swimming all year round. Need exercise? Join the YMCA here in town. How about Golf? The Lexington Golf and Country Club and the newer Vista Links public golf courses(Buena Vista) which is rated one of the top hardest golf courses in Virginia. Glen Maury parks calendar of events stays full of Bluegrass, country, rock & pop concerts.They also have Fridays in the parks and Lexington offers Fridays Alive at the Old Liberty Hall Ruins ( thats where W&L got it's start!) If your going to live here you need to know the great places to eat and we have some of the best around. Café Michel, consistently a 5-star fine dining, Sheridan Livery Inn, Bistro on Main, Tuscany Italian, Southern Inn and The Palms to name a few.
You are only going to be bored here if you allow yourself to be. We have a lot of history in the little town, so next time your here stop by the visitor center and ask for the self guided walking tour. You won't be sorry.

But more importantly, when it comes to real estate the next time you have a client in search of that perfect place to retire. Think of Lexington, Buena Vista & Rockbridge County and give me a call. I'd love to work with you!
