About this home
Situated just outside Charlottesville, Shack Mountain is a historic masterpiece designed by Fiske Kimball, founder of UVA’s School of Architecture. Built in 1935–36, the home pays tribute to Thomas Jefferson’s architectural legacy, modeled after Jefferson’s design for Farmington. A stunning example of Colonial Revival style, the residence features a Tuscan portico, triple-hung windows, Chinese Chippendale balustrades, and interiors inspired by Pavilion IX at UVA. Listed as a National Historic Landmark, Shack Mountain blends historical integrity with modern livability. Set on 102 acres, the property offers exceptional privacy, with mature trees, open meadows, extensive gardens, and expansive views. A private trail system loops through the landscape and leads to the Rivanna River, ideal for walking or peaceful enjoyment of the natural surroundings. Adjacent to the protected Ivy Creek Natural Area, the land offers added seclusion and lasting conservation. Just minutes from Charlottesville, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Virginia’s architectural and cultural history.
