rivers edge is an extraordinary 400-acre estate in southern albemarle county, virginia, just outside of charlottesville and minutes from the historic town of scottsville. a rare opportunity, the property includes 22 by-right buildable parcels, creating significant potential for future subdivision and development while still enjoying the estate as a whole.
the property sits along historic blenheim road, within close proximity to trump winery, albemarle estate, and the university of virginia. it is framed by a roll call of virginia’s finest landmarks, including monticello, james monroe’s highland, dave matthews’s blenheim vineyards, grace vineyard, and steve case’s early mountain vineyard. the landscape unfolds with a six-acre lake, a mile of private river frontage, sweeping mountain views, fertile farmland, hardwood forests, and a designated cattle barn.
over two decades, the current owners have invested significantly in infrastructure throughout the expansive acreage, creating a fully equipped and modernized estate, including high-speed fiber-optic connectivity, underground power lines, miles of fencing, paved roads, and a wrought iron gated entry.
rivers edge has been shaped into a property of true distinction. a five-acre vineyard, with an additional 40 acres cleared for expansion, is complemented by a farm winery license and a bed and breakfast permit. a 10,000-square-foot event barn offers two banquet rooms and full catering facilities, ideal for weddings, galas, or corporate gatherings. further amenities include tennis and paddleball courts, along with a go-kart track.
the estate is anchored by a 12,000-square-foot, fully renovated manor home, with a newly constructed guest house and an oversized temperature-controlled two-car garage. to accompany this residence, the property also features two single-family homes that were recently renovated. with its 22 by-right parcels already in place, rivers edge offers the flexibility to be enjoyed as a private family compound while also serving as a strategic long-term investment.
staffed by an experienced, well-trained team for seamless operations, rivers edge offers endless possibilities, whether a private family compound, an event venue, a corporate retreat, or a visionary development. in one of virginia’s most celebrated regions, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own an estate of exceptional scale, beauty and versatility.
