About the Listing TTRS5 - 3064744

Mount Pleasant is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity located just outside the vibrant city of Charlottesville, Virginia, and only minutes from the University of Virginia and Monticello. Nestled in the heart of Southern Albemarle County along the historic Blenheim Road, this extraordinary 1,865-acre property is surrounded by world-class attractions, including Trump Winery, Dave Matthews’ Blenheim Vineyards, and Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards. This premier location offers a unique chance to own a piece of Virginia’s most distinguished landscape. The former estate of Bernard Arnault, Mount Pleasant has been meticulously transformed over the past two decades by its current owners. Spanning 1,865 acres across 13 tax parcels, this property stands out for its unparalleled scale and physical features, including miles of private river frontage along the Hardware River, stunning mountain views, rolling hills, farmland, hardwood forests, and a private 45-acre lake with beaches and a boat dock. Free from conservation easements, the property offers exceptional possibilities for development or preservation. The owners have invested significantly in infrastructure throughout the expansive acreage, creating a fully equipped and modernized estate. Highlights include high-speed fiber-optic capability, underground power, a concrete dam, 15 miles of paved roads, 25 miles of wood board fencing, and multiple automated wrought-iron gated entrances. The property is also supported by five diesel backup generators and features multiple wells and springs, providing substantial infrastructure for estate operations. An impressive collection of structures enhances the estate, including five residences and two guest houses, award-winning event facilities, stable barns, storage buildings, and more. This exceptional property is ideal for a family compound, corporate retreat, flagship corporate campus, or a long-term investment opportunity. With 75 by-right parcels, Mount Pleasant is also uniquely positioned for future development. Alternatively, it presents an attractive option for conservation or stream impact easements, offering the potential for significant tax benefits. The estate includes experienced staff for management and operations, making it a turnkey investment. Additionally, a comprehensive hotel study for a 100-key hotel, prepared by HVS, is available for review. Whether envisioned as a private sanctuary, an iconic event venue, or a development opportunity, Mount Pleasant represents an unparalleled offering in one of Virginia’s most celebrated regions.
