106 acre Farm with Animals, River & Private Pond, near Wineries and Breweries
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. Experience the ultimate outdoor adventure by indulging in a plethora of activities, including petting the cats and dogs, catch and release fishing at our pond, or tubing the river!
The space The building where you will be staying is perched on the highest point of the farm and features an exclusive, private 1200 square ft second floor suite with breathtaking views of the James River and rolling hills. The suite boasts two spacious bedrooms with plush Casper queen mattresses, a full bathroom, a fully-equipped kitchen, an adjacent dining area with a bar sitting area, and a cozy living room with two couches, one of which converts to a comfortable queen bed. The living room also has an electric fireplace, a TV, and a game area for the kids, complete with board games. For your convenience, there is also a brand new washing machine and steam dryer that are located in the kitchen area, and complimentary coffee, tea, and snacks are provided upon check-in.
Step outside to our dedicated backyard area with patio furniture and a fire pit, perfect for unwinding and soaking up the stunning views. There is also a large storage chest that contains corn-hole and other outdoor games.
Guest access At Riverview at Belle Meade Farm, you'll have the opportunity to see many friendly animals, including our three dogs, cats, and other animals as well. Our friendly dogs, Abby, Lucy, and Sweetie, love attention from children and adults alike. The cats are always happy to greet guests, and the white cat named "Angel" is a favorite and loves to lounge around in the driveway. We kindly request that you don't bring your own pets, as we have plenty to keep you company.
Explore the property at your leisure and indulge in petting our cats and dogs, but please ensure that children are always supervised. Our personal house is just a couple of hundred feet away, and while we may be working around the farm, we'll respect your privacy. You'll have the entire second floor of the building to yourselves with a private entrance however, you will have to walk up a flight of stairs to access the main area. The first floor consists of an office/storage area and also our first floor suite short term rental that will be coming online and available to book starting May 2026.
Take a hike, bike ride, or a slow drive along our driveway and gravel trails throughout the property totaling over one mile combined, but please don't venture past the two barns as it's a private residence. Feel free to walk to our beautiful pond by following the walking trail. Please do not use any equipment including canoes or boats or kayaks that you may see but you are more than welcome to bring your own fishing rods and fishing equipment to enjoy catch and release fishing.

Magic in Scottsville
Every aspect of our stay was nothing short of magical. Ms Pam was a top tier host and the rental was gorgeous. The views, the river access, the sweetheart dogs, cats and cows. We are already trying to figure out a trip back. The apartment was perfectly stocked with everything we could think of, and was decorated and taken care of with so much love. Thank you for an absolutely perfect stay, and we can’t wait to join you again soon, Ms Pam!

Peaceful Country Setting Close to Restaurants
We stayed three nights for a wine-tasting getaway and a trip to Monticello. Everything is close by, the wineries and Monticello. The lovely little town of Scotsville has wonderful restaurants and a terrific coffeeshop/bakery with muffins, scones and delicious quiche. The farm is wonderful with dogs and cattle and a firepit! The living room is quite comfortable for late night chats and the kitchen is fully functional! What a nice time! The hosts are terrific and friendly and willing to help steer us in the right direction!

Peaceful and friendly escape doing wineries and weddings.
Booked for proximity to wedding at Mt Ida and wineries, and delighted we did. Super well appointed, peaceful, friendly host family, and equally friendly host furfamily! Highly recommend for a very comfortable stay while taking in the peace of the acreage, paths to James River and property pond, fire pit, proximity to great wineries, and beautifully kept guest home. Would have paid 2x for this experience, so great value!
