Richmond SPCA to Benefit from Auction of Landmark Virginia Manor House on Nearly 400 Acres

ST. STEPHENS CHURCH, Va. -- Anchored by a 200-year-old manor house surrounded by nearly 400 acres, this historic Virginia estate known as Holly Hill is now truly going to the dogs - and to the cats, rabbits, and many other creatures whose well-being the Richmond SPCA champions and helps safeguard. Thanks to a generous benefactor, the proceeds from the sale of this estate, which is on both the National Register of Historic Places and Virginia Landmarks register, will benefit the local animal welfare non-profit, according to auction firm, Tranzon Fox.

Creatures of both the four- and two-legged varieties will find much to enjoy about life at Holly Hill, including carefully-kept grounds with formal gardens, horse stables with a two-level apartment, fenced pasture land, approximately 136 tillable acres, significant frontage on the Mattaponi River, two ponds, recreational land, and numerous outbuildings.

"This is the fourth property we've auctioned for the benefit of the Richmond SPCA, and of those, Holly Hill is the most expansive and historic," said Bill Londrey, managing partner of Tranzon Fox. "These sales that benefit charities are always some of the most rewarding work we do, so I would encourage anyone seeking a personal or corporate retreat, or a pastoral location for a wedding/events venue or B&B, to visit our website to learn more.

"The auction will take place live and on-site at the property on April 26, 2023, and while there are a couple of opportunities to see the property beforehand, to gain access to the estate, prospective bidders will need to comply with the terms set by the executor. So, I'd say don't wait too long. This property hasn't been on the market in decades, and who knows when you'll have a chance again to buy it."

Historic Lancaster Tavern – Almost As Old as the United States Itself – Heads to Auction

LANCASTER, Va. -- Might America's first president have quenched his thirst at the Lancaster Tavern and Inn, which was built circa 1790 in the Virginia town where George Washington's mother, Mary Ball Washington, resided? While we will probably never know for sure, he did visit the area five times during his presidency. Since the Tavern was the only public house at the time, it's quite likely Mr. Washington bellied up to the bar and dined here. Regardless, this tavern and inn is only slightly younger than America itself, and has borne witness to much history. And now, it can be yours as it hits the market via online auction, with bids closing the morning of February 22, 2023, says the auction firm, Tranzon Fox.

Tragically, the Tavern was heavily damaged by fire in April 2020 and the innkeepers did not carry fire insurance. Two circa 1832 antique cottages - a couple of doors down from the Tavern and also in need of full renovation - are also up for auction. The cottages are colloquially referred to as the Yellow House and Purple House.

"Given the Lancaster Tavern's historical interest and its location across the road from the Lancaster Virginia Historical Society and Mary Ball Museum and Library, this is a singular opportunity to bring customers and overnight guests back to Lancaster. A quality chef could be attracted to take up residence for a revival of the inn and tavern, with supplemental income flowing from its use as an event venue with a cozy cigar lounge and wine bar cellar. Additionally, tiny homes could be added to the grounds of the cottages to accommodate more guests and tourists, and the yellow house would make a great bakery/coffee shop! I invite interested parties to attend the open house Saturday, February 18, 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.," says broker/auctioneer Linda Terry.

In today's mobile, social, and digital marketing environment, Global Luxury needed a sophisticated look and feel that matched the upscale properties in which affluent consumers live, work and play.

Coldwell Banker Global Luxury conducted a global quantitative survey of three potential logos in the top four countries for the program: Spain, France, Italy and the United States.

The Coldwell Banker Global Luxury name aligns the power and recognition of the Coldwell Banker brand with legacy in luxury to truly showcase the program for what it is: a leader in delivering excellence, performance and refinement. And with this rebrand, we proudly continue our service with some of the best affiliated agents in the world," said Craig Hogan, vice president of Luxury at Coldwell Banker Real Estate.
