Glenmore is the bigger, faster market: 98 sales to Keswick Estate's 5, and 16 days on market against 30. Keswick Estate is the pricier, larger-lot one: a $1.7M–$3.15M range against Glenmore's $1,111,250 median, $396 a square foot to $269, and 2 to 3.7 acres against just under half an acre, per CAAR MLS for June 2024 to August 2026.
Median sold price
Keswick Estate's median is about 2.2 times Glenmore's, but it rests on five sales; Glenmore's rests on 98.
Price per sq ft
Per square foot the gap narrows to about 1.5 times: Keswick Estate houses are bigger as well as dearer.
Homes sold
Glenmore turned over nearly twenty homes for every one in Keswick Estate. If you need to move on a date, that matters.
Days on market
Both are quick by estate-country standards: Hunt Country's $1M+ estates took a median of 83 days.
Sale price vs asking
Glenmore sellers got within 2% of asking. Keswick Estate buyers negotiated about 4% off.
Lot size
About five times the land in Keswick Estate. Neither is farmland; for that, see Hunt Country.
Lowest sale
Keswick Estate's cheapest recent sale is above Glenmore's median. There is no overlap at the bottom.
Highest sale
Glenmore's top sale would rank fourth among Keswick Estate's five. The two overlap only at Glenmore's top.
Community size
Glenmore is nearly seven times the size, which is why it has the choice and Keswick Estate has so few resales.
Annual property tax
Same county, same $0.894 rate. The difference is the price of the house, not the tax.
Public sewer
Neither gate has a septic system to maintain, unlike every $1M+ Hunt Country sale.

How much land do you get in Glenmore vs Keswick Estate?
About five times more in Keswick Estate. Measured the same way for both: the median lot among the homes that actually sold from June 2024 to August 2026, per CAAR MLS. Glenmore's 98 sales sat on a median of just under half an acre; Keswick Estate's five sat on 2.0 to 3.7 acres, a median of about 2.4. The scale differs too: Glenmore's association represents 800+ homeowners; Keswick Estate plans 118 residences on 675 acres.
Squares are drawn to scale by area. “Median” is the middle lot when every sold lot is lined up smallest to largest, so one unusually big or small lot can't skew it the way an average would. Neither community is farmland: for acreage with a barn, see Hunt Country, where the typical $1M+ estate came with about 36 acres.

Which club comes with Glenmore or Keswick Estate?
Don't assume either comes with the house: neither club says so, and neither publishes prices (checked September 2026). The Club at Glenmore sits inside Glenmore's gate, 18 holes by John LaFoy opened in 1992, with Full, Sports and Social memberships, and it takes members who live outside the gate. The Keswick Club is at Keswick Hall beside Keswick Estate: Pete Dye's Full Cry course, seven tennis courts and the year-round Horizon Pool. Ask the seller whether any membership conveys.
Each line comes from the club's own website, checked September 2026, except Full Cry's history, from Golf Club Atlas; its 7,134 yards, from the Virginia State Golf Association; and its ranking, from GOLF. All three Keswick clubs, including the Keswick Hunt Club, are on the Cost of Living page and Golf & Club. Want current membership pricing? Ask us and we'll get it from each club.
