In a month led by multiple $3 million home sales, two of which were more than a half-million dollars over asking, an off-market deal in western Henrico came in as the region’s priciest sale not only for May but so far this year.
The 10,000-square-foot house on a 5-acre lot at 402 S. Mooreland Road changed hands May 1 for $5.3 million, nearly $2 million above the priciest listed sale and the highest sales price seen in the region in 2023.
The deal was done between a buyer and seller who used LLCs for the transaction. Henrico property records list the buyer as Enfield LLC. The seller, Casablanca Bonita LLC, had owned the property since 2015, when it was bought for $2.5 million.
The county assessed the property in January at just under $3 million.
Located a few blocks from River Road and Collegiate School, the 5-acre lot dwarfs its immediate neighbors in the Mooreland Farms neighborhood. Records show the land was subdivided from a nearly 8-acre lot in 2014.
Built in 1958, the two-story Colonial was once home to the late Jeannie and Leroy Culpepper, who founded J.L. Culpepper & Co., whose Ashland-based RRS Foodservice division is in its 84th year of business.
In addition to four bedrooms and bathrooms, and three half-baths, the brick-and-slate house has five fireplaces, an elevator, a finished walkout basement, a two-car garage, a covered porch and a screened porch. The property also includes an external fireplace, in-ground pool and tennis court, according to property records.

Wife-and-husband team Holly and John Martin with Shaheen, Ruth, Martin & Fonville Real Estate had the listing for seller Matthew Brown, who bought the half-acre lot in 2016.

The pricey deals kept May a hot month for home sales in the region. Last year, two of the month’s top sales exceeded the $3 million mark.
