Set on 102 acres just minutes from Charlottesville, Shack Mountain is a remarkably private estate where architecture and landscape exist in quiet balance. Designed by Fiske Kimball and inspired by Thomas Jefferson’s Farmington, the residence reflects timeless proportion and intention. A long drive reveals sweeping views and complete seclusion. The home is elevated yet restrained, offering light-filled interiors and a seamless connection to the surrounding land. The acreage provides both scale and serenity—rolling terrain, mature trees, and a rare sense of calm just minutes from town. A property of architectural significance that remains deeply livable, Shack Mountain offers a unique opportunity to own a private, legacy estate in one of Virginia’s most storied landscapes.
