Riverview at Belle Meade Farm
Sorry for the increase in pricing as Airbnb has rolled their guest fees into our daily rate instead of charging separately. Overall, total costs are the same as before this change. Escape to Belle Meade Farm, a magnificent 106-acre estate overlooking the James River, once owned by Thomas Jefferson's family. Nestled in the serene countryside, the property is just a mile away from historic downtown Scottsville, a short 25-minute drive to Charlottesville, and near many wineries and breweries.
