What Youngblood Properties does

Youngblood Properties is a family-owned custom home builder headquartered in Mechanicsville, Virginia, founded in 1997 by Nancy Youngblood Dearnley and her father Richard H. Youngblood Jr. The firm designs and builds bespoke single-family homes for individual buyers in the greater Richmond metropolitan area, operating within a roughly 50-mile service radius. Production is deliberately small and quality-focused: the company hand-crafts 8-10 homes per year and typically has only 3-5 homes under construction at any given time, with a portfolio of 30+ floor plans spanning Colonial, Traditional, Craftsman, Low Country, Cottage, New England, and Southern Living styles.

The business operates through three channels: direct custom home sales in three active communities (Dogwood Meadows with 24 lots in Rockville, Elm Crest with 4 lots in Chesterfield, and Stonewall Trace with 3 lots in Bon Air), a Build On Your Lot service for buyers with privately held land, and a financing assistance program through preferred local lenders. The firm has also delivered past communities including Burleigh (a luxury 55+ Short Pump community), Hallsley, Harpers Mill, and Madison Station. Notable technical construction standards include conditioned crawl spaces maintaining 50-55% relative humidity, blown cellulose insulation delivering 20-40% energy savings over fiberglass, Superior Walls precast concrete basements with R-12 foam and a 15-year water penetration guarantee, conditioned attics using Icynene spray foam, Dow Styrofoam SIS structural sheathing, structured wiring for low-voltage systems, iLevel Trus Joist Silent Floor systems, Rinnai tankless water heaters, and Energy Star certification delivering 20-30% efficiency gains over standard homes.

Revenue is generated exclusively through one-time custom home sales, with no recurring revenue streams and no publicly disclosed financials. The firm is privately held with no external investors, no funding history, and no subsidiaries. Sales run direct-to-consumer through owner Nancy Youngblood Dearnley and sales manager Scott Dearnley (also an associate broker at Joyner Fine Properties), supported by construction managers Jeff Jarrelle and Dan Luttrell and an office manager. Customer segments span primary custom-home buyers, rural/large-lot buyers (Dogwood Meadows), and active-adult 55+ buyers (Burleigh). The firm has won regional recognition including Home Builders Association of Richmond Parade of Homes awards for Best Kitchen and Best Bath on its Adams floor plan.
