11016 Pridesville Road Amelia, VA 23002

If you’re tired of the cookie-cutter houses built out of cardboard and hope, welcome to a home that actually has some soul. This custom-built beast sits on over 5 wooded acres of pure Amelia freedom, we’re talking A-5 zoning, no HOA to tell you what color your mailbox has to be, and fence-out status for those of you looking to bring the livestock and live the homestead dream.

Inside, we just dropped a massive $180,000 renovation on the kitchen and family room that’ll make your jaw hit the new flooring. We’re talking granite countertops that could double as a landing strip, brand-new appliances, and a layout designed for the person who actually likes to cook and entertain at the same time. The bones here are legendary: solid wood doors, oak hardwoods on both levels, and trim work that actually required a craftsman, not just a nail gun.

But let’s talk about the stuff that keeps you from waking up stressed in the middle of the night. The roof was replaced just a couple of months ago. The main HVAC is basically brand new. There’s a whole-house generator that’s been pampered with annual service, a fresh well pump, and a water softener system already dialed in. You even get a massive walk-up attic and an oversized garage with a workbench ready for whatever project you’ve been putting off.

This is that rare listing where you get the character of a custom build with the luxury of a $200k modern facelift. It’s move-in ready, private as a fortress, and ready for its next chapter. Don't wait on this one—homes with this much infrastructure and acreage don't just sit around.
