Description

640 Explorers Road offers protected Blue Ridge Mountain views and a private, cul-de-sac setting within the established Key West community. Set on three acres with long-range vistas preserved by the property’s elevation and surrounding topography, the home enjoys views that will remain unobstructed. Designed for easy one-level living, it includes three bedrooms and two baths, with the two guest rooms on their own wing for privacy. The kitchen features a mountain-facing breakfast nook, and a screened-in porch extends the living space outdoors. An expansive unfinished attic spans the full footprint for future expansion. The primary suite sits above the hillside, capturing an exceptional viewshed, and strategic clearing could further open the sightline while maintaining privacy. Large windows frame western and northern views, and the front porch offers winter outlooks toward the Southwest Mountains. The property adjoins nearly 50 acres of protected conservation land, accessible to residents through an annual land-use pass, with walking trails and Rivanna River access where the North and South Forks meet. A quiet, private retreat with enduring mountain views, just three miles from Charlottesville.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from January 07, 2026

    "Nothing unless you want to count the crime!!! The Spark is a terrible place to live! Gone through countless managers with everyone promising to make a change and the only thing that changes is the staff. Nothing gets fixed and the current office manager is rude. There is a serious rodent issue that everybody ignores and continually sends the insect companies to spray just so they can say they are doing something. Can’t wait to leave!!!"
