Live Where You Love: Crozet, Virginia
Located in the western part of Albemarle County, Crozet began as a whistle stop town in the 1870s and has grown to one of the most popular areas in Albemarle. Best known for its small town feel and Blue Ridge views, Crozet features close proximity to golf courses, multiple parks, vineyards, and biking trails. Crozet is perfectly situated at the midway point between Charlottesville and Waynesboro -- giving its residents easy access to major shopping, dining, and employment centers in either direction. Designated as an Albemarle County 'growth area', the county implemented an award winning Crozet Master Plan in 2001, which has helped to organize residential and commercial growth in Crozet. With several master-planned neighborhoods, multiple new shopping districts, and plans for a new park and library, Crozet is poised for future growth. However, the town hasn't lost its charm -- Downtown Crozet features sidewalks, lamp posts, and local restaurants, including the world famous Crozet Pizza. Crozet offers a wide variety of housing options -- from planned neighborhoods to rural farmland. Other towns in the Crozet area include White Hall, Batesville, and Greenwood. These three areas offer countless rural housing options -- from historic farms and estates to homes on acre-plus parcels. The Crozet area includes popular destinations such as Beaver Creek and Mint Springs Park, but is just a few miles from Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive.

The Washington Metropolitan Area's Finest Estate Parcel | TTR Sotheby's International Realty
Encompassing approximately three acres overlooking the most captivating portion of the Potomac River, River Point is the finest estate parcel available in the Washington Metropolitan area.
Strategically positioned less than half a mile to the District of Columbia — and just over five miles to the White House — River Point affords exceptional privacy and security which are rarely available in most other metropolitan area locations. The site also provides unique access from both Chain Bridge Road and 44th Street North, making available multiple options for access, egress, and additional security.
River Point encompasses three separate parcels which have been artfully planned to create a world-class residential masterpiece.
Under the guidance of renowned American architect Stanley Dixon, the site has been thoughtfully envisioned with a stunning English Manor House inspired by the timeless work of British architect Edwin Lutyens.
The plans provide for a gatehouse, separate carriage house, tennis court, parking for 30 cars and a stunning main residence with multiple bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and every conceivable luxury. The plans are fully complete and have been reviewed for building permits by the local government jurisdictions.
The timeless beauty of River Point, however, is best captured in its exceptional perspective on the Potomac River.
This stretch of the river has been highly coveted for generations due to the dynamic quality of the river in this area. Massive granite boulders punctuate the river at this point creating vibrant natural waterfalls and energy in the movement of the water as it flows towards the Chesapeake Bay. Here, abundant wildlife also seeks refuge from the nearby city, and a wide range of Bald Eagles, Peregrine Falcons, and Red-Tailed Hawks are often visible overhead and along the water’s edge.
With exceptionally convenient access to the city of Washington, an unmatched position overlooking the finest stretch of the Potomac River, and world-class design and building plans which are ready for construction, River Point is the ultimate location for Washington’s finest estate.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping!

SUMMARY
=======
Charlottesville, colloquially known as C'ville and officially named the City of Charlottesville, is an independent city in the Commonwealth of Virginia. In 2016, an estimated 46,912 people lived within the city limits. It is the county seat of Albemarle County, which surrounds the city, though the two are separate legal entities. This means a resident will list Charlottesville as both their county and city on official paperwork. It is named after the British Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. The Bureau of Economic Analysis combines the City of Charlottesville with the County of Albemarle for statistical purposes, bringing its population to approximately 150,000. Charlottesville is the heart of the Charlottesville metropolitan area, which includes Albemarle, Buckingham, Fluvanna, Greene, and Nelson counties.
Charlottesville was the home of two Presidents, Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe. During their terms as Governor of Virginia, they lived in Charlottesville, and traveled to and from Richmond, along the 71-mile (114 km) historic Three Notch'd Road. Orange, located 26 miles (42 km) northeast of the city, was the hometown of President James Madison. The University of Virginia, founded by Jefferson and one of the original Public Ivies, straddles the city's southwestern border. Monticello, 3 miles (4.8 km) southeast of the city, is, along with the University of Virginia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, attracting thousands of tourists every year.
