Estate on the James

About This Build

This custom home was the fourth project Rockpile completed for this client. Originally slated to be a major renovation and addition to an existing farmhouse, our client decided instead to dismantle the structure and build all new. The end result is a beautiful 10,000 square-foot home that sits on the crest of a hill and overlooks the James River. 

We dismantled, rather than demolished, much of the original house and repurposed materials such as stone and brick from the chimney. We also used the old framing wood to custom-make paneling and floors for the new “saloon”.
