Ruckersville
Natural Wonder at the Intersection of Virginia
17 miles north of Charlottesville and 29 miles south of Culpeper lies Ruckersville, a delightful, rural community set amidst rolling hills and unspoiled forests. Ruckersville homes sit at the intersection of two major highways, US 29, which runs north-south, and US 33, which runs east-west.
US 29 provides quick and easy access to the City of Charlottesville. Residents of Ruckersville can access many of the area’s major employers via 29, including the University of Virginia, Northrop Grumman, and Standard and Poor’s. 29 South also provides ease of access to Interstate 64, allowing residents to easily drive to both Richmond to the east and Staunton to the west. 29 also connects Ruckersville to Northern Virginia and D.C. via Lee Highway to the north. The University of Virginia, George Mason University, and Sweet Briar College are all accessible via 29. The Charlottesville/Albemarle airport is also just south of Ruckersville via 29.
US 33 extends from the West Virginia state line across the commonwealth for 139 miles. Residents of Ruckersville can use 33 to access most of the premier natural attractions in Virginia, including the Blue Ridge Mountains which lie to the northwest.

Never Ending Views
Ruckersville residents have phenomenally easy access to Shenandoah National Park via US 33. A short, straight drive of 15 miles deposits you in the middle of the park, and from there it is easy to find hiking trails, camping sites, or access to Skyline Drive, a 105-mile road that runs the length of the park along the ridge of the mountains.
US 33 also provides easy access to the towns of Barboursville and Gordonsville to the east. Barboursville is home to Barboursville Vineyards, one of the region’s premier wineries, situated on the Barboursville Ruins, the former home of Governor James Barbour which was designed Thomas Jefferson himself. Gordonsville is home to multiple historical sites and a highly regarded Civil War museum, as well as a unique blend of shops, art galleries, and critically acclaimed restaurants.
