Keswick VA houses

Keswick was established in 1849 when the Virginia Central Railroad built a small depot when the railroad laid tracks from Gordonsville to Charlottesville.

The name came from the estate crossed by the line, Keswick Plantation.

Many of the historic Keswick VA homes for sale were designed and built by Thomas Jefferson, and his journeymen.

The Keswick Road is the third most scenic road in America due to the extraordinary amount of elegant Keswick farms.

Keswick is 50 miles of verdant, pastoral landscapes similar to Downton Abbey surrounded by historic plantations with the luxurious Keswick Hall, a Five Star Hotel & Spa, and the new Pete Dye Golf Course as its anchor.

Keswick VA real estate for sale is pricey and is renowned for its magnificent horse farms, the circa 1899 Keswick Hunt, and the nationally syndicated Keswick Horse Show which is the second-oldest horse show in the nation.

Keswick is home to two gated communities: The Club at Glenmore which offers luxury Keswick homes on a fine golf course with a small, on-site equestrian center; and Keswick Estate at Keswick Hall.

Keswick Virginia History

Many of Keswick’s horse farms were built for Thomas Jefferson, Meriwether Lewis, and William Clark by Peter Jefferson, Thomas’s father; Nicholas Meriwether, Meriwether Lewis’s grandfather of Cloverfields.

The British in Keswick

During the War of Independence, British troops, under the leadership of Sir Banastre Tarleton, swooped down on nearby Castle Hill.

Tarleton surprised several members of the Virginia government in their beds.

One story has it that Dr. Thomas Walker, explorer, and owner of Edgewood, presented Tarleton with an elaborate breakfast to detain him before he went on to Monticello and Charlottesville.

Another version is that dragoons stole two successive breakfasts, and, by the time Tarleton finally was served, Thomas Jefferson had been warned of the coming of the British.

(A third, less reliable version alludes to “potent mint juleps.”) Whatever the delay, it was enough to allow Jefferson and other Virginia leaders to make their escape.

Civil War

In 1864, Confederate General James A. Longstreet was ordered to move his troops from East Tennessee on April 7, 1864, to Charlottesville to prepare for the Battle of the Wilderness.

The Confederates detrained at Charlottesville and were then marched to various campsites.

During the encampment, over 10,000 soldiers were quartered at various sites in and around Keswick Depot.

Historians believe that just days before the movement toward the Wilderness.

The Keswick, VA Real Estate Market: An Informative and Intelligent Overview for Potential Homebuyers

Keswick, Virginia, an unincorporated community nestled within the scenic Albemarle County, offers a unique blend of rural tranquility and refined living, all within a convenient distance of the vibrant city of Charlottesville. This coveted area is renowned for its picturesque landscapes, rich history, and a lifestyle that often revolves around equestrian pursuits, esteemed wineries, and sprawling estates. For those considering a move to this distinguished corner of Virginia, understanding the nuances of the current real estate market is paramount. This article aims to provide a comprehensive and insightful overview of the Keswick VA real estate landscape, drawing upon recent data, market trends, and the expert perspectives of Toby Beavers, a seasoned Charlottesville real estate agent, with two decades of experience in the Charlottesville market. His combined knowledge offers a well-rounded understanding of the opportunities available for individuals and families seeking Keswick VA property for sale.

The Current Landscape: Unpacking the Keswick, VA Real Estate Market in 2025

The Keswick VA real estate market in early 2025 presents a complex picture, with data indicating varied trends across different metrics. According to Realtor.com, the median sold home price in the 22947 zip code, encompassing Keswick, was $879.9K in February 2025, with a median listing home price of $788.1K. However, RocketHomes reported a slightly lower median sold price of $850,000 for Keswick in the same month. These figures suggest that while listing prices provide an initial benchmark, the final sale prices often reach higher values, reflecting the desirability of the area. It’s important for potential buyers to note these variations and consult with local experts to gain the most accurate understanding of current pricing dynamics.

Analyzing the year-over-year price trends reveals further complexities. Zillow data through January 2025 indicated an average home value increase of 6.8% in Keswick. In contrast, Realtor.com reported a 6.3% decrease in median listing home price year-over-year in February 2025. Movoto’s data from March 2025 showed a median sold price of $824,300, compared to $724,000 in 2024. These differing reports underscore the importance of considering various data sources and the specific time frames they cover when evaluating the market’s direction. As Toby Beavers, the savvy Charlottesville real estate agent, notes, “The Keswick market can be quite nuanced. While overall values tend to be strong due to the area’s appeal, specific segments and even individual properties can experience different trajectories. It’s crucial to look beyond headline numbers and delve into the details of recent sales and current inventory.”

The types of properties available in Keswick cater to a discerning clientele, ranging from sprawling estates and single-family homes to undeveloped land, offering opportunities for those seeking Keswick VA homes for sale or the chance to build their custom dream residence. The prevalence of horse farms, often featuring significant acreage and equestrian facilities, is a defining characteristic of the Keswick Virginia real estate market. Platforms like Virginia Country Living showcase numerous equestrian properties for sale in the area. Land for sale is also available, presenting options for buyers looking to invest or build.

Inventory levels in Keswick appear to be relatively tight. Zillow noted 15 Keswick VA property for sale listings as of January 2025 , while Realtor.com showed 257 listings in the broader 22947 zip code in February. Movoto characterized the Keswick market as a seller’s market in March 2025, indicating more buyers than available homes. However, Realtor.com suggested a buyer’s market in February based on their metrics. This apparent contradiction might reflect a recent shift in market dynamics or varying conditions within different price points. The median days on market in Keswick were reported as 49 days in March 2025 by Movoto, an increase from 39 days the previous year. This could suggest a slight cooling in the market or buyers taking more time in their decision-making process.

Life in Keswick: More Than Just a Location

Keswick offers a lifestyle deeply intertwined with its unique characteristics, making it an attractive destination for those seeking more than just a place to live. The equestrian culture in Keswick is rich and long-standing. The Keswick Hunt Club, established in 1896, stands as one of the oldest and most prestigious foxhunting clubs in the nation. This strong equestrian tradition is evident in the numerous horse farms and boarding facilities that dot the landscape. For potential homebuyers with a passion for horses, Keswick Virginia homes for sale often include paddocks, stables, and riding trails, creating an ideal setting for equestrian pursuits.

Keswick’s location in the heart of Virginia’s wine country is another significant draw. The area is home to several esteemed vineyards and wineries, including Keswick Vineyards, Southwest Mountains Vineyards, and Merrie Mill Farm & Vineyard. Residents can enjoy leisurely weekends exploring these wineries, indulging in wine tastings, and attending various events amidst picturesque vineyard settings. This proximity to wineries offers a relaxed and sophisticated lifestyle that appeals to many looking at houses for sale in Keswick Virginia.
