Nestled just outside Charlottesville, Shack Mountain is a historic masterpiece designed by Fiske Kimball, founder of the University of Virginia School of Architecture. Built in 1935?36, the home is a tribute to Thomas Jefferson?s architectural style, inspired by Jefferson's design for Farmington. The property, named for the Shackelford family who settled it in the 18th century, is a stunning example of Colonial Revival architecture. Kimball, an esteemed architectural historian, envisioned Shack Mountain as a retirement home, selecting a site with sweeping views of the surrounding hills. The home?s design features classic elements, including a Tuscan portico, triple-hung windows, and Chinese Chippendale balustrades. The interior is equally remarkable, with a circular vestibule and elegant parlor inspired by Jefferson?s Pavilion IX at UVA. Shack Mountain is not only a private retreat but also a National Historic Landmark, recognized for its architectural significance and connection to Kimball. This rare property offers a blend of historical charm and modern luxury, providing a unique opportunity to own a piece of Virginia's architectural history.,Marble Counter,Painted Cabinets,White Cabinets,Fireplace in Living Room

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
