Historic Eldon Farm, nestled in the foothills of the Southwest Mountains in Keswick, Virginia, is a premier sporting plantation with roots dating back to 1715. Just 20 minutes from Charlottesville and near Monticello, Eldon lies within 10 miles of the birthplaces of Jefferson, Monroe, and Madison. Spanning 372± acres, the estate includes pastures, a Gil Schafer-designed lodge, a main house, guest cottages, and restored historic buildings by top designers including Suzanne Kasler and Amy Morris. The 2024-built Eldon Lodge, inspired by Blackberry Farm, features reclaimed timber and Roxbury granite, a grand hall, wine room, and catering kitchen. The Eldon Office serves as a refined gentleman’s retreat with curated interiors and a sportsman’s wing. The renovated main house offers 4 bedrooms, a bunkhouse sleeping 12, and additional cottages. Amenities include barns, riding ring, fishing ponds, trails, and apiaries.With deep historic ties, luxury design, and unmatched outdoor recreation, Eldon is a rare turnkey sporting estate.
