Crawfords Place is being developed as a unique and special intergenerational housing community offering a diversity of housing options, energy-efficient homes, open green spaces and walking trails to help connect to the Nellysford community.
The 33-acre site is an ideal location for this community sitting on a rise along the Route 151 Rockfish Valley gateway corridor to the village of Nellysford near many Nelson County tourism and recreation sites. The vision for the community is Livable Sustainability, defined as a development model with an emphasis on the Design, the Environment, and the People.

Nestled in the heart of the Rockfish Valley, Crawfords Place is part of Wintergreen Resort. Wintergreen is ~11,000 acres situated right next to the northern section of the Blue Ridge Parkway and Shenandoah National Park (which connects directly to the northern terminus of the Parkway at Rockfish Gap).
“As a member of the Nelson County public safety community, I particularly like that the project allows for equitable access to a home in an otherwise challenging market. Moreover, its location is beautiful and the designs are stunning. Finally, as a firefighter/paramedic within the community, living here would allow me to access fire/rescue apparatus more quickly on my days off, should there be a need.”
“I would like to live and support the community that I have worked for over the past 14 years. In addition to my love of the people in the community, I also would have a strong desire to live and thrive in the luscious scenery that is Nelson.”
“One of the reasons that I would like to live closer to work is that I can better get to know the community in which I work. Also, I would have more energy to perform extra-curricular activities for the school.”
