Listing Description

Few US properties possess the historical gravity and architectural purity of Tuckahoe. Boyhood home of Thomas Jefferson, this extraordinary 557 acre estate overlooking the James River represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most complete and authentic early 18th century plantation layouts in North America.

At the heart of the estate stands the irreplaceable H frame manor house, masterfully constructed by William Randolph between 1733 and 1740. As the only surviving Randolph home still on its original site, the residence retains a breathtaking degree of original material, from period windows and detailed entrances to the legendary, fully paneled black walnut salon.

The timeless, cedar lined approach leads to manicured formal grounds and the remarkably preserved Plantation Street. Here, the original quarters, kitchen, smokehouse, storehouse, barn, and overseer's office still stand. Most notable is the original one room schoolhouse where a young Thomas Jefferson received his earliest formal education beneath a unique domed ceiling.

Protected in perpetuity by historic conservation easements, this National Historic Landmark stands as an undisturbed sanctuary of early American architecture and a legacy estate without peer.
