Keswick residents find themselves in the serene countryside of Central Virginia that Thomas Jefferson described as "the Eden of the United States". Mr. Jefferson's influence and architectural achievements live on at his beloved home, Monticello, and his "academic village" at the University of Virginia, both minutes from the Estate.
American history buffs can also tour the homes of two other founding fathers, James Madison's, Montpelier and James Monroe's, Ash Lawn-Highland, located nearby.
Charlottesville is also a progressive, vibrant community offering visitors fine art museums, theater, symphony and operatic productions, numerous equestrian events, and the nationally recognized Virginia Film Festival. In addition, guests can enjoy touring the area's many award-winning vineyards and fine antique shops.
But perhaps the most noted characteristic of the area is its stunning natural beauty and magnificent surroundings.
Known for its magnificent horse farms Keswick is home to endless thoroughbred breeds that originated hundreds of years ago. Charlottesville's horse farms are splendid especially in Keswick.
Many of Keswick horse farms were designed and built by Thomas Jefferson. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark both owned horse farms in Charlottesville. Charlottesville's two foxhunts are the Farmington and Keswick Hunt founded in 1899.

First Time Buyers >Services from a Real Estate Agent
It's an old adage that "the best things in life are free." One of these things is extremely valuable to home buyers -- the advice of an experienced real estate sales professional.
In the traditional home sale, it is the seller who pays the commission that is divided among the various sales professionals involved in the transaction. Unless you are hiring a buyer's broker, the buyer gets several free services from the real estate agent: 1) Target marketing that locates the homes you can afford; 2) Loan pre-qualification that saves you time; 3) Guidance in obtaining the best mortgage terms.
The marketing professional knows that if there is no financing, there is no purchase. Most real estate agents have become quite expert in the mortgage market. Please contact a real estate professional if you are seeking advice about buying or selling a property.
