This extraordinary parcel offers rare privacy and natural beauty just minutes from town. Part of over 1,200 contiguous acres in conservation easement and near the Ragged Mountain Reservoir, the property feels like a true retreat, yet is only 10 minutes to the University of Virginia, shopping, and dining. A thoughtfully prepared homesite is already in place, including a quarter-mile driveway (2020), a cleared building site with private views, a drilled well (2021), and a secured power easement. One of the headwaters of Moores Creek runs through the land, adding to its natural appeal. The property also borders other fine estates and sits just across Route 29 from Potter’s Craft Cider. The land features a trail leading to one of the property's highpoints, as well as another short trail to a unique rock outcropping. Rich with wildlife (including deer, bear, bobcat, and turkey), this is an ideal setting for hiking, mountain biking, and quiet enjoyment under expansive night skies. With significant groundwork complete, this is a rare opportunity to create something truly special in one of Charlottesville’s most protected and scenic landscapes.
