DAY TRIP: Southern Living Idea House Tour – Charlottesville, Virginia

This year’s Southern Living Magazine’s Idea House is designed to celebrate the natural beauty of Virginia.

The home is over 4,500 sq. ft, featuring 4 bedrooms, and 4-1/2 baths, with serene views of the tranquil lake. Inspired by the concept of a “modern homestead,” the landscape plan promotes ecological stewardship and a self-sustaining lifestyle. We will be stopping for lunch en route at the TipTop Diner, known for its home-style Greek dishes among other standard fare.
