WestRock chairman John Luke’s former riverfront home wasn’t the only Goochland County estate to sell for seven-figures last month.
Luke’s $2.82 million sale of the Oaklea estate at 330 Flag Station Road led the pack of area residential sales in January. The transaction closed Jan. 27 and included the 6,700-square-foot main house and 32 of the nearly 35 acres that were listed for sale last August.
Anne Chewning with The Steele Group | Sotheby’s International Realty had the listing, representing Luke and his wife Kathleen. Luke is non-executive chairman of packaging company WestRock and was CEO of its Richmond-based predecessor MeadWestvaco.

With a record-breaking buyers’ market that defied the pandemic through the bulk of 2020, the year in residential real estate had so many deals that our annual ranking of the priciest sales couldn’t be contained to just the top 10.
Two sets of ties on this year’s list make the 2020 ranking 14 deals deep. And those don’t even include some of the seven-figure sales that turned the most heads this year, with notable names such as Ukrop and Aaron Brooks involved. Even tennis great Billie Jean King took part in the paperwork for a sale that starts off this list.
