Notes
- Because the terrace setting is so lovely and the views so spectacular, and there is field parking as well, we do permit small outdoor events at the farm. However there is an event fee of $350 per event for over 20 total attendees, and for that number, we additionally require that the guests book a porta-john. We are happy to assist our guests with contact information for that service as well as caterers. The property is located in a rural area w/o regular garbage removal service. Leaving more than one large heavy-duty contractor bag of trash per weekend (2 bags for a week-long stay) will result in a $50 trash pick up charge.

About Richard Davis, Owner and Property Manager
Richard Davis, the owner, grew up on a horse and cattle farm in the nearby Gordonsville area. He attended Woodberry Forest school in nearby Orange, VA, and graduated from the University of Virginia. He has both worked in aviation and the space program for years and has traveled extensively. Richard has always found the Blue Ridge Mountains to be incredibly beautiful and inspiring. He spent years looking for a place in the area that met his dreams and was very excited to find Turkey Run Farm when it recently became available. He and his sister Deborah McLeod, who manages the property for him during his absences, have spent the past year restoring and furnishing it for guests as well as Richard's family's own part time use.

Why Richard Davis, Owner and Property Manager chose Keswick
Richard and his family tremendously enjoy the nature there, the dramatic views of the mountains, the extensive landscape plantings all around the house, a place for the children to explore nature, the amazing clear views of the night skies, the graceful presence of history in the house, and most importantly, the incredible peace and quiet of the surroundings.
What makes this Farmhouse unique
Turkey Run's greatest benefit is the tranquility and privacy that can be experienced from its outdoor spaces - the terrace swing or the ease of the front porch chairs. The only sounds that can be heard are the calls of birds and the rush of the wind.
