I rarely do Public open houses because I think that they are more of an opportunity for the agent to gain buyers rather than actually sell the house. Selling open houses to clients as an efficient way to market their home seems disingenuous.

However, this weekend I will be holding 720 Grayrock Drive open from 1 until 4pm, as the timing works out well for me and for my sellers.  I am trying to continue my focus on the Crozet market so please stop by; this house is beautiful inside and out.

Posted on Craigslist as well.

My march to less driving continues –

I just put this beautiful home on the market in Grayrock. I was competing against two other companies; it feels good to earn business!

This wonderful home was a multiple winner in the 2004 Parade of Homes. Four bedrooms, front office, front and rear staircases, gracious entry foyer, hardwood floors thorughout, rear patio, level entryway, two car garage, upgraded appliances, laundry on main level, dual-zone heating and cooling, OUTSTANDING eat-in kitchen with granite countertops, cherry cabinets and so much more …

Crozet’s best (and only) coffee shop, Kokopelli’s sent out this email this afternoon.

Kokopelli’s is reaching new heights!  That’s right, we are moving upstairs! We have been made many offers to buy Kokopelli’s since the first week we opened. Well, we have one now that we would be fools to pass up. But
Kokopelli’s is not closing.  We are opening a coffeehouse/cafe upstairs, in the same building, under the name 2nd Floor Joe.

We will be offering breakfast and lunch, 7 days a week, from 8 am to 5 pm.

Taking over the dinner and music business will be Charlie Mayer, opening “Uncle Charlie’s Smokehouse,” featuring great BBQ and other treats.  Both businesses should open around Thanksgiving.

Being the only hotspot in town is a nice deal too, I hope that continues. One day I was in there and saw an iPod running the music during the day and found out that the Scots, owners of Kokopelli’s, are mac people too – good to have around!

In one of the few reasons to read the print version of the Daily Progress, they had a story yesterday about US Joiner moving from Waynesboro to Crozet. The article made it sound like they are going to bring high quality jobs to the area. This could be a very good move for them and for Crozet. As soon as the article gets put online, I’ll post it.

Update: I still cannot find the article in the DP online, but The HooK had this blurb –

Best get for Crozet: US Joiner, which designs and installs ship interiors, will be moving from Waynesboro to a new facility on Three Notched Road that should be completed in 11 months. The company will employ around 40 people, according to David Hendrick in the DP.

This is what the site looks like now. I contacted them in an attempt to develop a relocation relationship with them, but they already have a Realtor relationship. At least I tried.

If you happen to be coming to Crozet this Saturday (8 October) morning, stop by Western Ridge for their annual community yard sale. Located right off of route 240, there will be sure to be some “good stuff.”

I just put this property on the market in the Highlands. Two bedrooms, two baths … $205,000.

Google map of the location.

Call or email me for more.

In light of last week’s posting on realcentralva.com about a “greener” Albemarle County comes this story from today’s Daily Progress about Innisfree Village in Crozet.

This year a new program, Community Supported Agriculture, was started in order to share the benefits of the gardens with others outside the village.

CSA is a nationwide movement designed to connect city folks with the food they eat and with the land and people who tend them. This past spring, 25 subscribers were given the opportunity to participate in the program.

“We want people to know about Innisfree and realize the incredible wealth of our gardens,” Ohle said. “It also provides more therapeutic work opportunities for our co-workers, which is our term for the people with developmental disabilities who live here.

“As a result of the program, we now have extra work in harvesting and preparing the vegetables that are sent out to the subscribers. The number of different tasks and skill levels this provides is wonderful for our folks.

We are lucky to have organizations such as this in our area.

Update 06/06/2006: the Charlottesville Podcasting Network has an interesting profile of Innisfree Village.
