This weekend was great—75 degrees with beautiful leaves everywhere! We took advantage of the weather and went for a long drive in the country to find one of the most expensive homes in the world, Albemarle House.
Albemarle House could not be located in a more beautiful place. It is easy to find—it is situated on a hill just off the James Monroe Parkway, a few minutes past Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello and Monroe’s Ash Lawn-Highland.
Even from a distance, the neo-Georgian manor is impressive. The estate sits on 300 acres and has 45 rooms (only 8 bedrooms), a guest house, vineyard, 18-hole golf course, barn, chapel, and probably a lot more. It was first listed at $100 million, but is currently for sale for $48 million. It is really like an American castle.

Marissa! I just found out about you through Kirsten's blog. I'm a design blogger in Charlottesville and am so, so happy to know there's another in our ranks. We're a small, but fun group. I hope you'll join us when we have a little meet up!
Hello! found you on 6th street design school! You are adorable and you had me at Charlottesville! My inlaws are from the area and my FIL is a proud graduate of Mr. Jefferson's university. (The year they came to visit us and go to a BYU/UVA football game lives in family history - we had to sit in the visitor's section.) Their accents are to die for and are as cute as can be. They live in South Carolina now and I have only been to visit the Charlottesville area once several years ago. Enjoy - there is nowhere else like it.
