CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Sept. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A luxury home located in a Virginia community whose country club traces its origins to Thomas Jefferson is scheduled for sale by luxury auction® on September 18, 2025. The residential property, which previously asked $5.59 million, will be sold to the highest bidder in an auction without reserve. Platinum Luxury Auctions is offering the property in cooperation with listing agent of record Macon Gunter of Next Realty Group.
The property is sited at 2440 North Dogwood Lane, within Charlottesville's Farmington Country Club community, a residential enclave anchored by the historic Farmington Country Club. Original plans for the golf and country club's main Clubhouse – more specifically, its "Jefferson Room" – were hand-sketched by Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States. Membership in the private club is separate from homeownership within the surrounding community.
Originally built in 1979, the home enjoyed an expansion and renovation in 2007, helmed by noted architect Baird Snyder. Interiors span nearly 7,000 sf throughout three living levels, with a total of 6 bedrooms, 5 full and 2 half-baths. The home's design blends historic, Virginia charm with modern amenities, creating a space that is elegant yet welcoming.
"It's a 'classic,' luxury country club home, with manicured lawns, beautiful surroundings and an excellent community aesthetic - all tucked within a private community with access to a suite of club amenities," said Trayor Lesnock, founder and president of the luxury auction® house. "It's terrific as a family home or as a weekend retreat from D.C."
To be sure, the property occupies a 6.7-acre parcel with verdant lawns, surrounded by mature foliage and centuries-old trees. The driveway gently winds toward a circular motor court arrival, with ample space for extra parking. A two-vehicle garage is located along the side of the home.
Notable residence features include a gourmet kitchen and butler's pantry, formal dining, living room with coffered ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace, a sunroom, executive office/library and an oversized primary suite with private terrace. The lowermost living level includes a kitchenette, additional living room and two "flex" rooms ready for customization. A private elevator services all living levels.
The Farmington Country Club features an award-winning, 28-hole golf course by design legend Fred Finley, which consistently ranks among the nation's top, traditional courses. Other amenities include tennis – on one of the 15 outdoor clay courts, 11 Har-tru courts or 4 Hydrocourts – pickleball, a fitness center, spa services, fine dining and 39 guest rooms.
Property previews are available by daily appointment through September 17, and may be scheduled by contacting Platinum's project manager, James Smith, at 800.939.1672. Informational documents, property photos and video are also hosted conveniently online at VirginiaLuxuryAuction.com.
