42 Shadwell Rd, Keswick, VA 22947

Property Description

Forty-two acres on a private lake in Keswick, ten minutes from downtown Charlottesville, with the site planning and county approvals already in place. Over 1,300 feet of lake frontage and high ground above the shoreline where the water opens up below and the mountains sit beyond. Maintained trails run through mature hardwoods to the shore. Two parcels are offered together, each with its own homesite: the 39-acre main tract, where architectural site studies identify three alternative sites for the residence, all above the water, and a separate 2.77-acre lot with an approved four-bedroom septic design and well specification. Fiber and underground electric are routed to the property, Dominion has upgraded the power supply, and a new driveway leads in through gated, board-fenced entrances. The main tract sits under a county open-space easement that keeps the wooded shoreline as it is, permanently, while permitting a primary residence, accessory buildings, farm structures, pasture, and vineyard. One mile from Keswick Hall, across the water from the Clifton, twelve minutes to UVA, twenty to the airport. The house has not been built yet, but everything that makes it worth building is here.
