Listing details

Welcome to the Wesley Farm, roughly 25 acres off the historic River Road corridor that has not been offered for sale since the turn of the 18th Century. Teeming with history, the property is located close to several Goochland landmarks at the intersection of River Road and Pagebrook Drive. Just down the street is the historic Tuckahoe Plantation, which is the famed childhood home of Thomas Jefferson, and right out the front door, you can see Powell?s Tavern. The Tavern was built around 1770 and has been operated as a tavern, stagecoach stop, and post office. Marquis de Lafayette stopped at the tavern in 1824, putting one of the top Revolutionary War general's steps away from the subject property. Two miles from the Henrico County line, the property is ripe for a private estate or family compound in one of the most sought-after areas on River Road in Goochland. There is a perfect mix of open field and 20-year hardwoods/pines. Quick close offers are preferred, but there are future subdivision and development opportunities as the majority of the property is already zoned R1. All 7 parcels are parent tracts and have By-Right splits available, giving a buyer a potential for 9 total lots without rezoning. There is ample road frontage with over 500 feet on River Road and 1300 feet on Pagebrook. County water connection is on site, but sewer is not immediately available. An existing 3BR/2BA brick rancher will be sold As Is/Where Is. There are many amenities nearby, including The Collegiate School, University of Richmond, Hardywood Brewery, Buckheads, and Portico, one of the highest-rated Italian restaurants in the Richmond area. There are many golf clubs, including the Country Club of Virginia, Richmond Country Club, and Hermitage Country Club, or for other amenities, you can travel roughly 10 minutes away to short pump, 20 min to downtown Richmond, or 15 min to Westchester Commons.
