There's a version of country living most people never get to have.

Imagine hacking out from your own barn straight into twenty acres of private wooded trails — no trailer, no hauling, just you and the horses and the quiet. Mornings that start with coffee on the screened porch, mist rising off your own stocked pond, deer stepping out along the tree line. Afternoons in the pool. Evenings gathered beneath the soaring wood-plank ceilings of a two-story great room, where a floor-to-ceiling fieldstone fireplace has been the backdrop for everything from quiet nights to weddings.

This is 13571 Greenwood Church Road in Ashland — 37.1 acres, $1,975,000 — ten minutes from downtown Ashland, twenty from Short Pump, thirty from Richmond. Close enough to everything. Far enough from all of it.

The custom four-bedroom main home offers a first-floor owner's suite, updated kitchen, dedicated office, fresh paint, newer HVAC, and an architectural-shingle roof — comfort without the project list. Then it opens into a whole compound: a five-stall barn with a private apartment above it, and a separate pool-house residence with its own in-ground pool and three-bay garage. Three separate places to live — for guests, extended family, or income.

Four fenced pastures. Twenty acres of hardwoods with riding trails. A stocked bass-and-crappie pond. Two wells, two septic systems. Everything a property this size should have — already done.

Properties like this — real acreage, real infrastructure, this close to Richmond — don't come around often. And they don't last when they do.
