Commercial Entrances, Spring water storage, WiFi systems & Cell phone service

Commercial Entrances

Chantilly farm has 4 Virginia Department of Vehicles VDOT entrances with 3 on Franklin Pike and one on Poor Farm Road. We are fortunate to have the site visibility to have these entrances - 600 feet each

way is required. The entrances also have extra wide turning area making it easy for large trucks and RV buses to enter the farm. The 3 on Franklin pike are full commercial entrances with a paved entry entry at the main road. A full commercial entrance does not have any limit on the use or number of autos that may enter per day.

The  entrance on Poor Farm Road is a limited commercial entrance and is gravel. We refer to this property as Chantilly 3 and is 60 acres with common boarder with Chantilly @.  This type of entrance is limited in usage to 5 homes may use it or for short term events like a music festival the usage is unlimited.  This entrance may be upgraded to a full service entrance by paving it from Poor Farm Road fto 20 feet off the road.  It is intended that we will build a road from this entrance connecting with the existing service roads for the festival area.

                                                            WiFi 
The farm is served by two internet feeds with one at the farm office that provides 3 Mhz bandwidth and one in the center of the festival area just behind the Snack Shack providing 12 Mhz bandwidth. 

The campground is served by a WiFi transmitter1 on the light pole near RV site 8 -- this is part of the network from the farm office (3Mhz) -- and a second WiFi transmitter2 on the tower behind bath
WiFi station at Snack Shack
house B at the RV park. Transmitter2 is part of the internet source from the festival area (12Mhz).
  These two stations provide good service to the RV park and most of the sites have use of both transmitter1 and transmitter2. The RV camping units are made of metal and WiFi signals do not go thought metal therefor it is important for the user to be near a window or have and outside antenna on the RV.

The most of the festival area has WiFi coverage directly from the WiFi on the tower just behind the Snack Shack.  Parts of the festival area, RV sites 1-5 and tent campground have WiFi from the station at the Snack Shack and from an additional WiFi transmitter directly at the farm office. Tent campers are always delighted to have  the WiFi at there tent sites. 

The farm office had direct connections to the internet via the modem in the office and also WiFi that is on the outside of the building.  The music barn has an internal WiFi station and gives great service in the building and close by.  Direct internet connections are also available in the barn and at the station internet connection behind the Snack Shack.

                                           Cell Phone Service

Cell phone service is good on most parts of the farm from US Cellular and Verizon.  ATT does not provide service to our area however we do have a phone available just outside the door at the farm office that is available for our clients at all times.         

The music barn has a cell phone repeater providing good full time service inside the barn. The country store also has a cell phone repeater which helps inside the store.

We have 3000 gallons of spring water stored in an underground storage facility just to the edge of the festival are we call Spring Side. This water is not potable and is available for agricultural or other needs

that require a large amount of water very quickly. A tanker firetruck would be an example of needing a large amount of water. The spring water storage is at an elevation that could provide about 30 acres on the front part of the farm along Franklin Pike with water by gravity feed
