      <title>Whats HOT in Charlottesville? Mountain Views</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;The Hottest Views in Charlottesville!&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Western Albemarle County offers some of the most beautiful mountain views in Central Virginia.&amp;nbsp; I would like to share two particularly beautiful views of the countryside that were taken in Ivy as I was touring neighborhoods.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;easement farm&quot; src=&quot;/image_store/uploads/1/9/0/0/0/ar122710420300091.JPG&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; alt=&quot;easement farm&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; style=&quot;margin: 5px; vertical-align: middle;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The views in all directions are breathtaking!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;mountain views&quot; src=&quot;/image_store/uploads/9/0/4/3/3/ar1227104733409.JPG&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; alt=&quot;mountain views&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ivy is located in Albemarle County just west of Charlottesville, Virginia.&amp;nbsp; The area has several developments offering beautiful homes in a variety of price ranges, many of which have spectacular mountain views.&amp;nbsp; If you want the beauty of the Virginia countryside yet want to be minutes from I64 and Charlottesville, a home in Ivy may just be the perfect choice!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>WOW, what a party!!! Charlottesville Friends</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;WOW, what a party! &lt;img src=&quot;/image_store/uploads/4/4/8/0/8/ar122575052080844.jpg&quot; height=&quot;189&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;218&quot; style=&quot;float: right;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of our best ones, we had wonderful guests, great food (thanks Betty) good music and fantastic weather (75 degrees)! What more could we ask?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you to my family, friends and clients who attended, it is your support that makes working with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mycharlottesvilleagent.com/#ALBEMARLE&quot; title=&quot;Charlottesville Real Estate&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Charlottesville Real Estate&lt;/a&gt; a true joy for me. If you not able to attend, we missed your smiling faces and look forward to seeing you next year!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photo below of the pumpkins was emailed to me from one of our dear friends and clients who live in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mycharlottesvilleagent.com/results.aspx?sub=Glenmore&quot; title=&quot;Glenmore&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Glenmore&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They were so kind to take it as I forgot to get any photos of the party...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As darkness came, we lit the pumpkins! (even though it was Nov 1st)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.mycharlottesvilleagent.com/Pumpkins1.jpg&quot; height=&quot;426&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;603&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The kitty design, in the rear, was my daughters creation!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>A clear day in Charlottesville...</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Charlottesville Area&quot; src=&quot;/image_store/uploads/4/9/3/5/0/ar1225455505394.jpg&quot; height=&quot;435&quot; alt=&quot;Charlottesville Area&quot; width=&quot;601&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The beauty of our area is amazing. One thing that clients ask me when I am out showing Charlottesville Real Estate is &quot;does everyone keep their yards to manicured?&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The answer is &quot;Not everyone, but most people do&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was driving by the above property and just decided it was to beautiful not to share.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hope that you enjoy it?&lt;/p&gt;
