Cozy private theaterThoughtfully appointed gourmet kitchenSunny breakfast roomElegant open entry hall
Solitude — Circa 1860. An exceptional Virginia estate sited on a private knoll overlooking 46+ acres of meticulously tended land. This stately four-over-four residence welcomes you with an elegant open entry hall, soaring 11-foot ceilings, and richly detailed, timeless architectural craftsmanship. Graceful indoor/outdoor living is featured throughout: expansive main‑floor porches and upper balconies frame views of mature specimen trees and new plantings, creating an ideal country retreat or a striking venue for gatherings and events. The main living, dining and library/office flow in a gracious circular plan—excellent for entertaining—while the main‑floor primary suite opens directly to secluded outdoor living spaces. A thoughtfully appointed gourmet kitchen and sunny breakfast room occupy the rear of the home, fully outfitted for everyday comfort and large-scale hospitality. The lower level reveals a rare brick‑walled tavern room dating to the mid‑1700s, connected to a cozy private theater—a remarkable blend of history and modern amenity. The house has been exquisitely maintained, sensitively remodeled and updated to offer all of today’s conveniences without compromising period character. The property includes a handsome barn, currently used for workshop and storage, and plenty of room for expansion. Ideally located just 5 minutes from the charming town of Palmyra and approximately 15 miles from Charlottesville via the scenic Thomas Jefferson Parkway. The property is offered in two parcels totaling 46 acres. The 20 acres including the house and barn and the contiguous 26 acres. The 26 acre parcel has just been reforested and planted in native trees. A rare offering for the buyer seeking historic integrity, privacy, and turnkey country elegance.
