Townley IV Farm was assembled over the years until approximately 1,500 acres were amassed. The main house was originally constructed c. 1850 and renovated through a number of additions over the Eck Family ownership. The main house boasts over 9,500 square feet of area well suited for year-round living or to house conferences and retreats. The main house features oversize seating areas, a modern well-appointed kitchen, five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and ample outdoor seating areas. There is a basement area of roughly 900 square feet, dedicated to a substantial wine cellar. The Matterport visual of the main house acts to confirm the quality of finish and layout of the building. A floor plan is also included with this package. Just outside the main house is an 11’ x 46’ in-ground pool with four feet of depth.
To the west of the main house is a private two bedroom guest cottage, the Bishop and Montana, which view the pool. To the west of the guest cottage is the conference center, which features a gathering area, well-appointed conference room, and two additional bedroom suites with private entrances.
To the northwest of the main house is Frank’s Barn, a large retreat area constructed in 2017 with ten individual suites. This building is completely outfitted to host a mid-size conference, retreat, wedding party or family reunion with many scenic views, outdoor seating, and a comfortable gathering area.
Mechanically, all buildings are served by industrial generators that create reliable power for heating and cooling year round. The grounds are gated and there is a security system. The land area of the farm includes multiple parcels, including 112.482 acres fronting 3,223 feet along the southern margin of Stapleton Road that rises to overlook the James River and provides a stunning setting for an estate homesite.
