4610.5 Riverside Dr Lot 6, Richmond, VA 23225

Seasonal views of the James River! Create an extraordinary home in a setting where architecture, nature and the Richmond lifestyle converge. Tucked along scenic Riverside Drive in South Bank Ridge, this approximately 0.38-acre homesite presents a rare opportunity to design a custom residence surrounded by natural beauty, privacy and picturesque river views. South Bank Ridge is anchored by a striking residence designed by renowned local architect Carl Messerschmidt, establishing an architectural character that feels intentional, distinctive and unlike the typical residential setting. A newly paved road shared by only five other homesites leads to the property, creating a sense of arrival and seclusion while placing downtown Richmond approximately five minutes away. The long, sloping homesite provides an exceptional canvas for a residence designed around its surroundings—one that embraces the elevation, mature landscape and changing seasonal scenery. Imagine expansive windows framing the views, terraces and outdoor living spaces woven into the landscape, and a home where architecture feels connected to the land rather than simply placed upon it. Here, nature becomes part of everyday life. Wildlife, wooded surroundings and the nearby James River create a peaceful retreat, while Richmond's parks, trails, recreation, dining and cultural offerings remain remarkably close. Public water and sewer are available, with natural gas and electricity also accessible, providing important infrastructure as plans for a future residence take shape. The property is zoned R-3, and South Bank Ridge includes architectural design guidelines that help preserve the distinctive character of the setting. Site and subdivision plans, a plat and topographic information are also available. This is not simply an opportunity to purchase land—it is an opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind residence in a setting where privacy, architecture, the James River and the energy of Richmond come together.
