Ardenlea Farm, 1016 Dixie Highway

During the Civil War, CPT James Henry Ainslie camped with the Union Army near present-day Ardenlea Farm.  Making good on his vow to return to the beautiful property, he purchased it in 1870.  Seven generations of Ainslies have continued the legacy of Ardenlea Farm.

Hilltop, c. 1832, 543 N. Main Street

Built in 1832, this stately and much-photographed home graces the highest point on North Main Street and sits on 3 of its original 18 acres.  Many original features of Hilltop include heart pine floors, pine doors, and original windows.

Godfrey-Hunt Home, c. 1875, 568 Academy Street

Built in 1875 by Dr. James Irwin Godfrey, this home has remained in the same family since its construction.  Some of the furnishings are original to the house, and most of the furnishings are pieces that have been handed down through the families.

Jenkins Home, c. 1999, 800 Crawford Street

Modeled after Gunston Hall, an 18th century Virginia Tidewater house on the Potomac River, the design of this magnificent new home was modified to accommodate treasured family furnishings.

Caldwell Cottage, 780 Dixie Avenue

Built in 2004 by its current owners, this cottage was designed as a “cottage in the woods” and modified from a plan by William Poole called Battery Creek Cottage. 
 

Goosecreek Farm, 2931 Greensboro Road

A beautiful setting on 920 rolling acres, just five miles outside of Madison. While the farm is believed to date from the early 1800s based on graveyard headstones, the main house was built in 1975, with major renovations and additions completed
in 1996.
