Fall is here, and if you’re looking for a unique getaway in Virginia, the 2025 Southern Living Idea House in Keswick is the place to be. Nestled in horse country, near vineyards and just outside Charlottesville, this 4,500 sq. ft., four-bedroom home is designed by Rosney Co. Architects with interiors by famous designer Charlotte Moss. It mixes classic style with modern touches, making it a dream spot for design lovers.
The house is close to Keswick Hall, a beautiful historic hotel recently redesigned by owners Molly and Robert Hardie. Visitors can enjoy art, history, and design all in one trip. Sid Evans, editor of Southern Living, says the area shows “the best of Virginia,” from vineyards to museums and shopping.
Charlotte Moss adds that Virginians are proud of their homes, and the region’s rich history—from Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello to charming local architecture—inspires the Idea House design. Features like grand porches, an octagonal entryway, and native landscaping make the property even more special.
The Idea House is not just about the home—it’s a full experience for travelers. Last year, the South Carolina Idea House welcomed over 17,000 visitors. This year, Keswick is expected to attract design lovers from across the country, especially in November, when the house is decorated for the holidays. It’s perfect for a girlfriend getaway or a mother-daughter trip.
