Amethyst Acres – a hidden gem in the Blue Ridge foothills – offers 23+/- acres with a premier MD barn and unmatched versatility. Presently noted as a respected equine breeding facility, this property now invites fresh vision: whether as a private estate, training/boarding operation, or a destination for clinics, 4-H programs, or Airbnb guests in the barn apartment. The main barn includes 12 stalls (10 at 12x12, 2 oversized 16x12), two wash racks, tack room, laundry, bathroom, office with covered porch, and a lab, all designed for light, ventilation, and safety. With a total of 32 stalls across the property, fenced turnout, and sought-after building sites – one with sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Parkway and another dramatically perched above the James River with breathtaking drop-away vistas – the setting is truly dynamic. Because the land lies adjacent to the James River, it also offers opportunities for kayaking and canoeing right from your property or a short jaunt to the public Springwood launch. Just 30 minutes from the Virginia Horse Center, this farm blends equestrian excellence with lifestyle and recreational possibilities, ready for its next chapter.
