GOOCHLAND COUNTY, Va. — Goochland County’s Kinloch community continues to rack up some of the Richmond area’s highest-priced home sales.
The lakeside community sandwiched between the Kinloch Golf Club and Hermitage Country Club saw two of the top five home sales in May, according to data from the Central Virginia Regional Multiple Listing Service.
The top seller was 835 Elmslie Lane – a street that has shown up in the monthly top five on four other occasions over the past year.
The 4,700-square-foot house by Boone Homes sold May 10 for $1.4 million, above its listing last October of $1.36 million. Boone executive vice president Tim Parent was the listing agent.
County property records list the buyers as Robert E. and Janet L. Zincke. Robert Zincke is a retired executive with Kroger.
The couple was represented by Sharron Taylor of Napier Realtors ERA. She said they are moving from Houston, Texas, to be closer to children and grandchildren.
Taylor said her clients had several specific needs that the four-bedroom, 5½-bathroom home with lakeside view satisfied.
“They wanted to be in a country club neighborhood, and they wanted to be on water,” Taylor said. “All of that is a little difficult to find in the Richmond area, so it took us a little while.
