Why this home stands out
Flat, buildable acreage this close to Gloucester's commercial core doesn't come along often. At 1.97 acres, Fox Hunt Lane gives you genuine room to design a homesite, add outbuildings, or simply preserve open space around whatever you build. The lot sits in a low-density stretch of Gloucester County where neighbors aren't on top of each other, yet Walmart, local restaurants, and a fitness center are all within a mile.
ALL OTHERS AREA 121 and the Gloucester real estate market
Fox Hunt Lane sits within Gloucester County's broader rural-residential fabric — the kind of place locals call 'the real Virginia.' Gloucester, Virginia is a peninsula community tucked between the York River and the Piankatank River, and it draws people who want space, slower pace, and genuine community without sacrificing access. The area around this parcel is a practical mix: small farms, established neighborhoods, and a compact commercial corridor along Route 17 that handles most daily errands without a long drive. Gloucester Courthouse, the county seat, is just a short trip away, giving you access to county services, the historic district, and community events. The land on Fox Hunt Lane falls in the ALL OTHERS AREA 121 designation — a broad county classification that reflects the rural character of the surrounding parcels. For anyone searching for land for sale in Gloucester Virginia, this stretch of the county offers a compelling combination of elbow room and connectivity that's increasingly hard to find at this price point.
