Birdwood is a historic home located on the grounds of the University of Virginia's Birdwood Golf Course near Charlottesville, Albemarle County, Virginia. It is a two-story, brick plantation house built between 1819 and 1830. The main house is a square, double-pile, central-passage plan house with four rooms on each floor and an entry portico supported by four monumental Doric order columns. A massive Colonial Revival addition was built in the early-20th century. Also on the property are a two-room stone plantation quarters, a stable and garage, and a distinctive lighthouse-shaped water tower, and traces of the late 19th or early-20th century ornamental gardens that include sculpture and an elaborate iron and fieldstone gate.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
