About this home
A rare Richmond river-park property: fully renovated, oversized 0.44-acre fenced lot, detached 2-car garage, large deck, mature landscaping, and direct access to the Pony Pasture / James River lifestyle. The flexible 2-bed up / 2-bed down layout creates ideal separation for guests, office space, multigenerational living, or a private upstairs retreat.
Rarely does a Richmond home offer this combination of renovated interior, oversized lot, detached garage, and immediate access to one of the city’s most beloved outdoor destinations. Located beside the Pony Pasture section of the James River Park System, 6809 South Drive offers a unique river-park lifestyle with the comfort, space, and flexibility buyers are often searching for but rarely find inside the city.
Set on a generous 0.44-acre lot, this fully renovated home features a large flat fenced backyard, mature landscaping, a spacious deck for outdoor dining and entertaining, and a detached two-car garage with excellent storage, hobby, or workshop potential. The setting feels private, usable, and grounded in nature, while still offering convenient access to Forest Hill, Stratford Hills, Westover Hills, Bon Air, downtown Richmond, shopping, dining, and major commuter routes.
Inside, the home has been thoughtfully updated with a clean, modern feel while maintaining warmth and livability. The main level offers comfortable gathering spaces, an updated kitchen, and two bedrooms that create valuable flexibility for today’s buyers. Use the first-floor rooms as a guest suite, home office, library, playroom, creative studio, or main-level bedroom setup. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms provide separation and privacy, making the layout ideal for guests, older children, work-from-home living, or anyone who appreciates defined spaces rather than a standard cookie-cutter floor plan.
The outdoor living is one of the home’s standout features. The large rear deck overlooks a level fenced yard with room for gardening, pets, play, entertaining, or simply enjoying a quiet evening surrounded by trees. With nearly half an acre, a detached garage, and proximity to Pony Pasture’s trails, river access, paddling, swimming holes, and natural scenery, this property offers a lifestyle that is difficult to duplicate in Richmond.
For buyers seeking a move-in-ready home with character, land, storage, outdoor space, and direct access to the James River lifestyle, this is a rare opportunity. 6809 South Drive is not just a renovated Richmond home — it is a private river-park retreat with the space and flexibility to live the way you want.
Conveniently located:
Walk to Pony Pasture and river trails
7 minutes to Carytown and Stony Point
10 minutes to downtown
Easy highway access
