Property Description
Located in the heart of Palmyra, Chinquapin Hill is a historic estate with roots dating to the early 1800s, making it one of the oldest homes in the area. Spanning 123 acres along the scenic Rivanna River, the property features a mix of rolling pastures, mature woods, and over 1,000 feet of river frontage. The original residence showcases early Virginian architecture and craftsmanship, retaining much of its historic character. In 1995, a well-integrated lodge was added, offering functional space while complementing the property’s rural charm. The land supports a range of uses, from small-scale farming and trail riding to hunting and recreation. Its blend of open fields and woodlands creates both beauty and utility, with direct river access. Ideally located just minutes from the Fluvanna County Courthouse Historic District and a short drive to Charlottesville, Chinquapin Hill is a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of land that combines historic value, natural beauty, and modern potential in a private yet accessible setting. With its unmatched combination of history, acreage, and location, this estate is well-suited as a personal retreat, working property, or investment in Virginia’s storied countryside.
