Seven Oaks is listed on the National Register of Historic places and a Virginia Historic Landmark, Seven Oaks is considered a property of both statewide and national significance.

Alexander Garrett, the first Bursar of the University of Virginia, purchased the property in 1819. Six of the original seven oak trees for which the estate was titled – which were each named for the Virginia presidents – were destroyed in 1954 by Hurricane Hazel, with the exception of the oak named after Thomas Jefferson.

This grand oak reposes on the front lawn today. Truly a unique property, Seven Oaks offers the best of historic Charlottesville in a particularly beautiful country setting. The home is situated on a prominent knoll with commanding mountain views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and walled by American boxwoods, the manor home with 6,870 square feet of finished living space is a classic example of Greek Revival architecture.

The two-story pediment portico with glazed herringbone brick floor provides southwesterly exposure for memorable sunsets behind the mountain range. Clapboard siding and a standing seam copper roof reveal an exterior that has been meticulously cared for and maintained.

A beautiful pond and swimming pool adorn the majestic 100-acre property, along with four charming and spacious tenant houses, several barns, a gym, stables and a greenhouse.

The land is presently in pasture and cut for hay with streams and two stocked ponds watering the property.

Outstanding views are enjoyed from all vantage points of Blue Ridge Mountains and the magnificent rolling countryside of western Albemarle County.

Over 15 acres have been devoted to the now mature vineyard which features seven varieties of grapes.

While the manor home itself stands at the center of attention as one travels up the drive, the tenant houses give the flexibility of supporting a farm operation or providing substantial rental income.

With frontage on both US 250 and VSH 690, Seven Oaks is located only fifteen minutes from Charlottesville and the University of Virginia. Truly an Albemarle treasure!
