Why this home stands out
Cul-de-sac lots inside Ford's Colony rarely come available. This one gives you nearly two-thirds of an acre to work with — enough room to design a custom home with a generous footprint, a side-entry garage, or a deep rear yard. The street is quiet, the canopy is established, and the community infrastructure is already in place around you. That combination is genuinely uncommon in this zip code.
FORDS COLONY and the Williamsburg real estate market
Ford's Colony is a gated, master-planned community on the western edge of Williamsburg. The neighborhood covers several square miles and includes winding streets, mature hardwoods, and a mix of custom and semi-custom homes on generous lots. Architectural standards here are enforced, so the streetscape stays cohesive and well-kept over time. Poindexter Court sits inside that fabric — a short cul-de-sac that feels removed from traffic while staying connected to the rest of the community. Residents have access to the Ford's Colony Country Club, recreational parks, and miles of internal roads that work well for walking and cycling. Williamsburg itself is a small city with an outsized sense of place. Colonial Williamsburg, William & Mary, and Busch Gardens all sit within the city limits or just beyond. The broader 23188 zip code covers a wide swath of James City County and includes some of the area's most sought-after addresses. If you are weighing homes for sale in Williamsburg, the Ford's Colony corridor consistently ranks among the most stable and desirable pockets in the region.
