325 Ryefield Rd, Richmond, VA 23238

A setting of mature trees and serene, pastoral land is home to Lethe, an 18th century (c. 1766) retreat sited on 7 acres, located just off River Road near Tuckahoe Plantation. Loyal to the character and integrity of the home, the current owner has meticulously restored and updated this historically significant property to allow modern convenience to blend seamlessly with history and charm. Many architectural details have been preserved and maintained in pristine condition. Modern amenities, such as an upgraded Kitchen and totally renovated Master Bath, are exceptional. The grounds feature rear gardens designed by noted landscaped architect, Charles J. Stick, a smokehouse (c. 1800) used for tool storage, a well house, and a custom-milled fence enclosing the well house garden. The country setting offers privacy and tranquility, but is just a short drive from schools, shopping, and downtown Richmond. This property is not on the historic registry so no historic tax easements or restrictions. Get your mint juleps ready for this one-of-a kind home!
