2074 Lakeside Dr Charlottesville, VA 22901

Located just minutes from Charlottesville in the heart of Albemarle County, this 3.83± acre property offers a rare opportunity to build in one of Central Virginia’s most desirable locations. Positioned directly across from public access to Lake Albemarle, the property combines privacy, natural beauty, and convenience into a setting that is increasingly difficult to find. Once part of an old horse pasture with a vineyard neighboring the property, the land offers a unique blend of open space, scattered large trees, and a peaceful setting that reflects the character of the surrounding countryside. The property features a mix of wooded ground and open meadow with gently rolling topography that creates an ideal backdrop for a custom home, weekend retreat, or long term investment. The soil work was completed in 2024 with a Certification Letter on file. Multiple potential homesite locations offer privacy while still maintaining easy access to shopping, dining, healthcare, and employment opportunities in Charlottesville and Crozet. Future landowners can choose to maintain the property's current private wooded character or open portions of the land back up by clearing some of the old pasture areas to create additional yard space, views, or usable ground. Lake Albemarle, originally constructed in 1938 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, remains one of the area’s most unique public recreational resources and offers opportunities for fishing, kayaking, hiking, and enjoying the outdoors. Whether you're looking to establish a private residence close to town or secure acreage in a highly sought after Albemarle County location, this property offers a strong combination of convenience, setting, and future potential. 911 address is approximate.
