Where we are...

Amethyst Acres is located in Southwest Virginia's Shenandoah Valley in the County of Botetourt. We are just 30 minutes south of The Virginia Horse Center in Lexington, Virginia, and in sight of the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway.

We are in an area known as "Springwood" beside the James River, just outside of the town of Buchanan. We are easily accessible from Interstate 81, US 11, US 220 and US 460 and are just 30 minutes from the Roanoke Regional Airport which provides service by Delta and USAir and allows us to ship semen throughout the U.S. and Canada.
