Oakwater Farm

Oakwater Farm spans 275+/- scenic acres in the rolling hills of historic central Virginia, less than 25 minutes from Charlottesville. The property offers a highly desirable blend of exceptional features and seclusion while maintaining proximity to everyday amenities, Charlottesville and the University of Virginia, and larger cities such as Richmond and Washington, D.C.

Among Oakwater's many notable features, the private 40+/- acre lake stands out. A truly rare asset, it brings exceptional opportunities for lakefront homesites as well as fantastic fishing, boating, kayaking, and waterfowl hunting. Adding to the water features are nine ponds spread throughout the property.

The land beyond the water is just as special. The terrain is gently rolling, with beautiful pastures and Blue Ridge Mountain views along the elevated areas. The open land has been meticulously managed for hay production and cattle grazing, but could easily transition to crops or wildlife fields should the next owner desire a more detailed wildlife and habitat management plan. Surrounding the fields are mature oak trees that provide a natural buffer of seclusion and beauty.

Completing this rare offering is the flexibility it presents to future owners. The property is not under a conservation easement and boasts an impressive number of highly desirable division rights, allowing future owners to choose between creating an exceptional family legacy property or capitalizing on its investment potential.
