Boxwood Villa

Sitting on 13.5 acres right outside the quaint town of Orange, Virginia, Boxwood Villa boasts beautiful grounds for a romantic garden wedding (<150).  The modern, clean interior is a fabulous juxtaposition to the the historical home and the lush green surroundings.  The founders of Grelen Nursery & The Market at Grelen renovated this lovely 1891 home to add to their event & lodging options for their Market at Grelen guests and area visitors.  In good shape structurally, this gem just needed a little redesign, TLC and  refreshed landscaping.  Named for it's large boxwood circling the house, Boxwood Villa is surprisingly private and a wonderful addition to The Grelen properties.  For lodging it has 5 bedrooms and sleeps 10.
