The estate is at 7457 Riverside Drive, Richmond, Virginia 23224, fronting the James River on Richmond's Riverside Drive corridor, roughly thirteen minutes from downtown Richmond.

No. This site is advance notice. The owner intends to bring the property to market within approximately three to five years and is building awareness among qualified buyers and agents in the meantime.

Approximately 2.5 acres of level, usable ground on top of the bluff. The flat sits about 60 feet above the river, which makes most of the acreage genuinely buildable rather than sloped or water-level.

Roughly 240 feet of frontage on the James River, spanning a 180-degree view arc that takes in the river upstream, downstream, and across to the far bank.

There is a well-maintained home of approximately 4,000 square feet on the site, about eighty years old. For most buyers at this level the value is the land, not the structure. It can be lived in, comprehensively renovated to the studs, or removed to make way for a new custom build.

At roughly eighty years old, the home's worth to a high-end buyer is optionality rather than preservation. Pricing and positioning reflect the land and the setting, so buyers are free to renovate or rebuild without paying a premium for a house they may replace.

About a thirteen-minute drive to downtown. The setting feels private and natural, yet keeps quick access to the city's business district, restaurants, arts, medical centers, and Richmond International Airport (roughly 25 minutes).

Three traits that rarely occur together: real elevation (a 60-foot bluff rather than a bank at water level), wide frontage (about 240 feet with a 180-degree view), and city proximity (13 minutes to downtown). Waterfront land near a capital city is usually sloped, narrow, flood-exposed, or far from town — this is none of those.

The level bluff-top flat is well suited to a new custom residence, and buyers commonly plan for that. Specific building potential depends on zoning, setbacks, resource-protection rules along the river, and any easements, which a buyer should verify with the county and a surveyor. The owner will publish confirmed figures as the listing approaches.

Because the buildable ground sits roughly 60 feet above the water on a bluff, it is elevated well away from the river's edge. Exact floodplain and resource-protection-area designations should be confirmed against current maps before purchase; the owner will state verified details as they are finalized.
