1311 Borden Road

There are homes that simply provide shelter, and there are homes that tell a story. This beautifully preserved and thoughtfully expanded circa 1880 farmhouse is one of those rare places where history, comfort, and modern living come together. Set on nearly 8 peaceful acres, the home was extensively renovated and expanded in 2005, carefully preserving the craftsmanship and character that make older homes so special while adding the conveniences today’s buyers appreciate. Original heart pine floors, antique doors, vintage hardware, soaring ceilings, beautiful moldings, and four decorative fireplaces create warmth and personality throughout. With over 3,100 square feet, the flexible floor plan offers three private bedroom suites, including primary suites on both the first and second floors, making the home adaptable for changing needs, guests, or multi-generational living. The spacious kitchen serves as the heart of the home with abundant cabinetry, double wall ovens, gas cooktop, newer Samsung refrigerator, generous workspace, and an inviting sunroom that overlooks the property. Step outside and you’ll discover porches on multiple sides of the home, a private deck off the first-floor primary suite, an outdoor fireplace, mature landscaping, raised garden beds, fruit trees, and one of the area’s most remarkable features—a majestic oak estimated to be more than 200 years old. Whether enjoying your morning coffee on the wraparound porch or watching the stars fill the night sky, this property offers a peaceful setting that’s increasingly difficult to find. The A-2 zoning provides flexibility for a variety of rural lifestyles, and the seven outbuildings, barn, smokehouse, former barber shop, and additional accessory structures offer incredible opportunities for hobbies, storage, workshops, gardening, or future projects. Additional improvements include replacement windows throughout, updated electrical during the renovation, zoned heat pumps, a four-bedroom septic system, and an electric pet fence. Located just minutes from Pleasants Landing at Lake Anna while remaining convenient to Richmond, Fredericksburg, Ashland, Mineral, and Louisa, this property offers the perfect balance of country living and accessibility. If you’ve been searching for a home with authentic character, modern comfort, usable acreage, and room to make it your own, 1311 Borden Road is a property you’ll want to experience in person.
