Twenty minutes from historic Charlottesville, in the lush countryside of Albemarle County, there’s a magical place called Waterperry Farm. Set on one hundred acres and surrounded by sweeping Blue Ridge Mountain views, Waterperry Farm offers exclusive stays for groups of up to fourteen guests. Enjoy ultra-luxe accommodations on a property that has it all— swimming, tennis, pickleball, and ten acres of extraordinary gardens. If staying as a guest is not an option, simply sign up for a garden tour or to celebrate a special moment with a photo session. However you choose to visit, we think you will find Waterperry Farm unforgettable.

“A symphony, a painting, a poem, a garden…
however you describe it,
Waterperry Farm is a masterpiece.”
Taylor Pilkington, Virginia Living
Peace and Opposition. We may have to accept the results of the election, but we can still oppose the tyranny. #saynotocruelandunjustpolicies #saveourdemocracy
Warm November night under a Waxing Crescent moon.
If I had to choose a favorite season…
My sweet abode during the Waterperry House restoration. I’m sorry to have taken the Carriage House offline but we’ll be booking it again in a year or so. Archie, my happy pal, is enjoying the novelty!
The stunning drupes of the female Chionanthus retusus—an utterly spectacular, specimen tree year round. I prefer its structure many times over our native Chionanthus virginicus, which is lovely, but more like a shrub to me. #chinesefringetree #fruit #olivefamily #joy
Just had to post. The day after watching the Netflix documentary, Inside the Mind of a Dog, I found Archie (unbelievably) with this book in his mouth— of all the books on the floor near a repainted bookcase— The Nature of the Psyche - Its Human Expression. Clearly we are trying to understand each other.
Clematis ternifolia does jump about a bit but its beauty cannot be denied. Pruning it right after flowering helps to control its spread. #sweetautumnclematis #fragrant #puddle #countryliving #joy
Pollinator garden take two; plus Archie in the bunny hollow. #summertime #rosemaryarp #willowsculpture #emmastothard
Pollinator garden in July, with Archie appearing as always out of nowhere and the ammi, zinnia and phlox commingling. Little lime hydrangea in the background. And the soft tangle of crocosmia and pineapple lily. #joy
