42 Shadwell Rd, Keswick, VA 22947

Forty-two acres on a private lake in Keswick, ten minutes from downtown Charlottesville, with the groundwork for a house already done. The property carries over 1,300 feet of lake frontage, a private dock, a gazebo, and an elevated overlook where the water opens up below and the mountains sit beyond. A maintained trail network runs through mature hardwoods to the shoreline. Two parcels are offered together, each with its own homesite: the 39-acre main tract, where architectural site studies identify three elevated building sites above the water, and a separate 2.77-acre lot with an approved engineered septic design and well specification for a four-bedroom home. Fiber internet 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.
