Welcome to Shadowfax Farm! Situated along the border of Thomas Jefferson's Monticello plantation, this extraordinary 69 acre estate offers a rare combination of historic surroundings, luxury living, and premier equestrian amenities just 15 minutes from downtown Charlottesville. Consisting of three separate parcels, the property presents exceptional flexibility for future development, investment potential, or the ability to sell parcels in the future. The custom-built brick residence encompasses approximately 10,802 finished square feet with 7 bedrooms, 5 full baths, and 2 half baths, thoughtfully designed for both grand entertaining and comfortable everyday living. The estate is further enhanced and protected by being adjacent to over a quarter mile of the Rivanna River, creating a remarkably private and scenic setting. Equestrian improvements are equally impressive and include an eight-stall horse barn with tack room and attached 2-bedroom, 2-bath apartment, a roughly 200'x100' outdoor riding ring, multiple run-in sheds, and over 40 acres of fenced pasture divided into multiple paddocks for rotational grazing and riding. Surrounded by protected historic lands, much of the neighboring property can never be developed, preserving the estate's exceptional beauty, privacy, and long-term value. Conveniently located near several award-winning Virginia wineries, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own an iconic Central Virginia estate in one of the region's most historically significant and picturesque settings. By appointment only.

RA
Rural Areas District
This district hereafter referred to as RA is hereby created and may hereafter be established by amendment of the zoning map for the following purposes: Preservation of agricultural and forestal lands and activities; Water supply protection; Limited service delivery to the rural areas; and Conservation of natural, scenic, and historic resources. Residential development not related to bona fide agricultural/forestal use shall be encouraged to locate in the urban area, communities and villages as designated in the comprehensive plan where services and utilities are available and where such development will not conflict with the agricultural/forestal or other rural objective. Where development does occur, rural residents should expect to receive a lower level of service delivery than will be provided to residential developments in designated growth areas. In relation to residential development, agricultural/forestal activities shall be regulated only to the extent necessary to protect public health and safety.; In regard to agricultural preservation, this district is intended to preserve the county's active farms and best agricultural and forestal lands by providing lot areas designed to insure the continued availability of such lands for preferential land use tax assessment in order to enhance the economy, and maintain employment and lifestyle opportunities. In addition, the continuation and establishment of agriculture and agriculturally-related uses will be encouraged, and landowners will be encouraged to employ Virginia State Water Control Board best management practices.
