Location

Amherst, Virginia

Description

This is a beautiful spot for dogs. A quiet State Road runs along one edge of the property, but the woods throughout the property are the real draw. Lots of natural space to explore. When it rains, there is a stream that runs through. There are many footpaths through the woods for your dog to explore, but feel free to make new paths. The barbed-wire borders of the property are well marked by ribbons and paint, except for the road frontage.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

Some areas are muddy, and storms often bring down branches, so watch your step. There is barbed wire along the orange-tagged border. Barbed wire appears occasionally throughout the property. A long time ago, this was a cow farm, and there are reminders of that history throughout the property. More recently, I believe they operated a commune here, and there are signs of that as well. The trails are flat but rugged, and you and your dog are welcome to go off the path into zone 4 and 5 terrain. Vines, roots, and other walking hazards may be present. The property inclines gently towards an intermittent creek that runs along the middle of the property, which doubles as a wonderful path when dry. It appears after a heavy rain and disappears in a dry spell.

Green Gate Haven

Fully Fenced
0.6 acres

Discover Green Gate Haven, a private, over half-acre sanctuary for dogs and their people! This serene field offers complete seclusion, nestled away from the road and our residence, yet it remains conveniently just minutes from I-81. Fun-Filled Attractions: Your dog will delight in a range of activities, including a sturdy tug-of-war post and a unique handmade playscape designed with paw-friendly, heat-reducing paint. They can explore a colorful set of tires or conquer our three-log obstacle. For the acrobatic pups, an agility course awaits, complete with weave poles, tunnel, hurdle, and jump ring. And for those who love to dig, a turtle sandbox provides the perfect spot for contained fun. Best of all is the freedom your dog will experience, running freely, while you enjoy peace of mind of knowing they are securely and safely contained. Curated & Natural Toys: We provide a generous selection of toys, including balls, launchers, rope toys, a frisbee, and even a hand-held tug toy. Beyond our collection, the field itself offers natural "treasures" like feathers, leaves, sticks, and bark for your dog to discover, and you are of course welcome to bring your favorites from home. Comfort & Relaxation Zones: Unwind on our handmade bench beneath a canopy in the Haven Headquarters or arrange the three movable chairs to find your perfect relaxation spot. For the ultimate comfort, there is also a hammock in the shade. Essential Conveniences: We ensure a comfortable and clean experience with two trash cans, two poop bag dispensers, and two pooper scoopers provided - one set of either side of the park. For your convenience, you'll also find hand sanitizer, sunscreen, and bug spray. For canine hydration, two four-gallon gravity water dispensers filled with fresh, cold well water will be set out on either side of the field before your arrival. And just in case the unexpected happens, there is a pet first aid kit in the Headquarters. Secure & Picturesque Landscape: Our 4-foot tall welded wire fencing and gate provide a secure environment, even for small dogs. While digging is welcome, we kindly request that pups avoid digging near the fence line to maintain its integrity for all visitors. The Haven boasts a natural landscape with some uneven ground (please exercise caution) and grass maintained at 2-3 inches. There are no nighttime lights, so please plan accordingly. The property is surrounded by forest on three sides, while the remaining side offers scenic views of an adjacent field that should be enjoyed only as part of the view. Embracing Nature & Neighbors: You’ll often see local wildlife such as deer, squirrels, rabbits, turkeys, turtles, and various birds. Our own dogs will be indoors during your visit, but our neighbors are accustomed to our vocal pups and some have their own who may "chat back" if your dogs are talkative! You might also occasionally hear the distant sounds of cows, and rarely the neighbors across the street can be heard, but not seen. Your Ideas Make Us Better! We are dedicated to continuously enhancing Green Gate Haven! We warmly welcome any suggestions or ideas you may have. Stay tuned for exciting new additions!
