The Java Depot could be yours.

Ever dreamt of owning a café in a historic train depot in the mountains of Virginia? Well, the Java Depot near Wintergreen happens to be for sale. Co-owner Nancy Kern reports that she and her husband are reluctantly offering the place up.

“It has been a dream come true and one of the most wonderful years of my life,” says Kern. But since she’s been holding down a full-time job in Charlottesville, and her husband Richard’s architecture business has been picking up, the duo are finding it hard to keep up with things at the restaurant.

Meanwhile, there’s still time to check out the place and they are still co-sponsoring the Wintergreen Performing Arts Summer Music Festival and Academy in July.

If you’re interested in talking to Kern about the particulars you can contact her at or 434-361-2324.
