Home Details for 14335 Horseshoe Ford Road

Set on three wooded acres where river, light, and architecture meet on a horseshoe bend of the South Anna River, this is a home designed to be felt as much as seen. Conceived by noted Richmond architect Charles Aquino and refined across decades, it balances architectural craft, natural beauty, and quiet luxury. A winding drive leads to a broad motor court, white columns rising against dark board-and-batten siding under a standing-seam metal roof. Light filters through tall windows; hardwoods and dogwoods frame the scene. A great living tree rises through the porch deck—preserved, not planned—a symbol of the way this house was built: with respect for its setting. Inside, heart-pine floors glow through open spaces shaped for living. The two-story great room—timber trusses, brick fireplace, walls of windows & French doors—anchors the home around a sweep of river light. Nearby, the sunroom dissolves the line between indoors and out, offering changing tones of daylight and reflection. The kitchen joins warmth and utility—heart-pine cabinetry, hand-glazed Portuguese tile, professional appliances—while the brick-floored dining room blends rustic texture with candlelit ease. The magnificent primary suite occupies a private main-level wing: vaulted ceilings, plantation shutters, river views, and a spa bath with steam shower, soaking tub, and direct access to the deck and outdoor shower. Upstairs, two additional suites frame treetop views; a fourth bedroom on the main level adds flexibility for guests or studio use. Outdoors, French doors open onto a full-length deck, a heated pool, pool house, and pergola dining terrace surrounded by mature gardens and river-fed irrigation. Landscape lighting transforms the grounds into a private, glowing retreat after sunset. Three-zone HVAC with propane backup heat, engineered septic with service contract, water filtration, high-speed internet, and whole-home audio complete a truly turn-key experience. An amazing setting ten minutes from Ashland’s village charm and dining.
