Historic Estate in Charlottesville ? The Farm (c. 1826) Step into history with The Farm, also known as the John A. G. Davis Farm and the Lewis House, a remarkable estate in the heart of Charlottesville. Originally constructed in 1826 by craftsmen who also worked with Thomas Jefferson on the University of Virginia, this two-story brick residence is a rare example of early 19th-century architecture and enduring craftsmanship. The main house features a low hipped roof, two impressive chimneys, and a stately Tuscan order portico with a terrace above. Inside, historic details blend seamlessly with modern comforts, offering gracious living and entertaining spaces. The property?s history runs deep: Nicholas Lewis, uncle of Meriwether Lewis, built the earlier main house here around 1770, and during the Civil War, Union General George Armstrong Custer used the estate as his temporary headquarters. An even earlier structure, the Lewis House (1730), still stands on the grounds and is one of the oldest homes in Charlottesville. This is more than a home ? it is a piece of Virginia?s story, offering an unmatched opportunity to own a residence where history and heritage meet timeless elegance.
