Seven Oaks

Seven Oaks is a property of immense historic significance and grandeur. Not only is it listed as a Virginia Historic Landmark, but it is also on the National Register of Historic Places. The property was purchased by Alexander Garrett, the first Bursar at the University of Virginia, in 1819. It is believed that it was at this time that the 7 oak trees, for which the property is named, were planted. Each oak tree was named after a Virginia President, however, in 1954 a hurricane managed to destroy poor Thomas Jefferson.

The location of Seven Oaks is truly unique and highly sought after, as it is situated in the historic city of Charlottesville, Virginia. The manor home sits atop a knoll and offers breathtaking mountain views from most any angle. The home is a classic example of Greek architecture and is 6,870 square feet in total. The attention to detail on the property is evident in the manicured American Boxwoods and other landscaping.

The front of the home exudes prestige with its two-story portico and glazed herringbone brick floor. The clapboard siding and standing seam copper roof are testament to the intimate care that has been taken to maintain the home in such wonderful condition for so many years. The home is certainly the center of attention as you make your way up the drive, but there are also multiple tenant homes on the property.

In addition to the historic home, the property also boasts 15 acres of mature vineyards. The vineyards consist of 7 different varietals, which adds to the unique charm and character of Seven Oaks. The combination of history, architecture, and viticulture make Seven Oaks a one-of-a-kind property that is not to be missed.
