Description
Seldom does an opportunity arise to acquire an estate near Charlottesville that combines architectural elegance, natural beauty and a deep sense of history. Cobham Park, c.1856, impeccably restored & updated in 2018, is an exceptional private country estate in Keswick. The spacious & stately home offers 5 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, 9 fireplaces, a chef’s kitchen with a custom Officine Gullo stove, formal & informal rooms & a wonderful Pub for entertaining. Most of the original woodwork remains in the home including the iconic McSparren flying spiral staircase which is similar to the Montmorenci Staircase at Winterthur. The grounds, 286 acres of lush rolling pastures & hardwood forests, also include beautiful, low-maintenance gardens, a pool/brick pool house, springs & pond, 5 cottages & multiple farm buildings & workshop. Cobham Park is located 15 minutes from Charlottesville & in close proximity to many of the areas best wineries & cideries. The land is not under a conservation easement; however it would be a great candidate.
