Originally purchased as a tranquil family retreat, over time, this 114-acre James River estate proved to be more than the sellers could manage. What was once a place to escape the distractions of modern life in favor of quality time with loved ones had officially turned into a burden. So, they decided to sell. But as it turns out, moving on wasn’t the streamlined process they imagined — at least not the first time around. After the house sat on the market for 10 months under different representation, they turned to us.
Once we entered the picture, we decided to go all in on photography. While the estate house itself is a sight to see, we recognized that highlighting the property’s vast land and its endless recreational possibilities was the best path to take. After all, where else can you find over 1,000 feet of private James River frontage? In other words: we were selling more than a property — we were selling a lifestyle. A lifestyle where you can catch bass on your own rocky shoal, hone your swing from the dedicated putting green/chipping area, go skeet shooting at the onsite range, and hit the ATV trails atop your mountain bike.
It took some time to find the perfect buyer, but once we did, we never looked back. We even ended up getting 2 additional offers along the way! While this family will always cherish the countless memories they made at Windemere, they were ready for a fresh start — and we were thrilled to help them leave the stress of maintaining this property in the past.
"Mike is high energy, focused and professional. He was able to quickly sell two unusual properties which were previously unsuccessfully marketed. His marketing brought several offers for each property and his negotiating skills were integral in ratifying the best deal. Highly recommend! He gets the job done!"
