Keswick, VA

Last weekend I spent time with clients visiting Keswick and Glenmore. Well this weekend looks like it may be a repeat! I am not complaining at all because Keswick Estates and Glenmore are a couple of my favorite gated communities in the Charlottesville Real Estate market!

I have built with clients at Keswick Estates and sold homes in the fine golf course community of Glenmore.

When you are considering a gated community, these are a couple of fine choices (we have more).

My series on "Room with a View" is on HOLD!!!

Why... we are getting the tail end of the recent hurricane Fay with 2 nice days of rain! (no complaints, we need the rain) However, our project is on hold...

I have to tell you that catching a raindrop in a photo is not an easy task! (see above)

Here is the latest photo of our project and I can tell you being on the porch during this heavy rain was very nice!!!

You can see things are a little wet. Also note that the Posts for the deck rail are going in. We are using a dark Trex for the posts... more info to come after the rains....

One of my favorite things to do is build a new home in Charlottesville with my clients. There is something about new construction that brings out the engineer in me. I love the details and the design. My buildersin Charlottesville are craftsmen, many of which will be on site with tools in hand!

If you want to follow along on the progress of our new room, see the links below:

This weekend I am out showing homes and one of the area we will see is Glenmore.

Now one of my favorite neighborhoods, when looking at Charlottesville Real Estate is Glenmore. This golf community offers not only golf and tennis but also equestrian facilities. The homes are priced from 500K-2mil+.

There is something for everyone.

When I am showing homes in Glenmore, I start by mapping out a tour.

The different areas (phases) in Glenmore are easy to locate and to navigate. The hardest part is deciding if you want a home on the course or (as I showed this past weekend) a home on a pond!

We always have a nice day at Glenmore and if we have time, we might be able to do lunch at the clubhouse.

Here are a few of the fine homes that are available in Glenmore:
(Click on the photos for more details, pricing and listing firms)

Stately colonial home offering many extras including an open kitchen featuring a walk in pantry,butlers pantry,cherry cabinets, and corian counter tops,private first floor study, five generous sized upstairs bedrooms, first and second floor laundry and finished basement. It is located at the end of the cul-de-sac with a nice backyard joining common area with a pond view.Sprinkler system and electric dog fence.

Campbell III model constructed by Wade Homes situated on private homesite near the Scottish Homes Park. Extras include luxurious first floor master suite, gourmet kitchen, extra large garage, all bedrooms with private baths and walk-in closets. This home also includes a $20,000 Glenmore Country Club Initiation Waiver.

"The Albemarle", built by award winning builder Selinger Homes is one of the most beautiful homes in Glenmore Country Club. Prominently situated on the championship golf course, the views of the 17th fairway, pond and Carter's Mountain are breathtaking! The exquisite interior/exterior appointments found throughout will not disappoint. Most remarkable feature is the fantastic floor plan that includes both formal & informal spaces, ideal for family living and wonderful entertaining options! VIEWS

I hope that you enjoyed this brief tour of Glenmore. As always feel free to call or email anytime about these fine homes. Better yet, let's set up a tour together!

What's so unusual about a green golf course? Grass is supposed to be green. In the latest issue of Piper Magazine, the publication of the Glenmore Country Club, Tim Thomas, the golf course superintendent, talks about the proceedures that the Glenmore Country Club has implemented to make its golf maintenance as environmentally friendly as possible.

When the course was first constructed a fertilization system was installed that injects fertilizer directly into the irrigation water thus minimizing fertilizer runoff, since the fertilizer is absorbed directly into the soil.

The course also embraces the concept of integrated pest management which has the goal of controlling pests with the least environmental impact. Pesticides are only used in the event that the problem is at a level that would affect the long term health of the plant. Also rather that using a broad spectrum pesticide, they use a product that only affects the particular pest targeting some metabolic process specific to that pest.

Growth regulators reduce the elongation of the grass, thus enabling a reduction in the number of times the grass needs to be mowed and as a result using less fuel and reducing the greenhouse gas emissions from mowers.

When the new pumping station which controls the irrigation system was constructed a system was selected that uses variable speed motors. This means that the speed of the pumps varies according to the water demand of the irrigation system. This has resulted in about a 20% saving of electricity.

According to Tim Thomas "The main goal I have for myself and the staff is to develop an awareness of everything in our maintenance program that affects the environment and the energy that is used in our day to day operation. We strive to make our course as environmentally friendly as possible...When at all possible we try to foster cooperation, rather than competition with our environment."

The Glenmore Country Club is located in the beautiful Glenmore community situated in Keswick just east of Charlottesville, Virginia. I would love to take you on a tour and show you the features that make this neighborhood such a special place in which to live.
