Schuylark presents a rare and exceptional opportunity to own a secluded personal retreat nestled in the picturesque foothills of Central Virginia's serene Blue Ridge Mountains. Serving as the residence to the founders of the neighboring Quarry Gardens at Schuyler, a renowned 40-acre botanical garden of native plants, this land has been under the care and stewardship of naturalists and land management professionals for more than two decades. Historically owned by the famous Alberene Soapstone Company, the 540-acre property features varied topology and fascinating geology.

This separate parcel includes a rough house site with a well and a storage shed. Wildlife enthusiasts will appreciate the abundance of white-tail deer, black bears, and more than 100 species of birds. With almost a mile of Rockfish River frontage and over ten miles of well-maintained paths, roads, and trails, Schuylark provides endless opportunities for hiking, hunting, birding, fishing, mountain biking and related naturalist pursuits. The Quarry Gardens at Schuyler are notched into the Schuylark Property with a separate entrance. Developed to interpret the area's history of soapstone mining and to protect and showcase local ecosystems and native plant communities.
