Why this home stands out
What sets 100 Cutter Lane apart is its location on Knotts Island itself — a place so tucked away that most Hampton Roads residents have never visited, yet it sits within commuting range of multiple installations. You get a four-bedroom, 2,585-square-foot home built in 2000 on a peninsula where the Currituck Sound defines daily life, wildlife is abundant, and the nearest stoplight feels like a world away.
ALL OTHERS AREA 200 and the Knotts Island real estate market
Knotts Island is one of the most unusual addresses in the entire Hampton Roads region. Technically part of Currituck County, North Carolina, the island is accessible from Virginia Beach by a free state ferry across the Currituck Sound — a 45-minute ride that doubles as a daily decompression. You can also reach it by road through Moyock, NC, though most residents come to love the ferry as part of the rhythm of island life. The primary keyword that defines this community is rural coastal living: marshlands, migratory waterfowl, working farms, and waterfront lots that would cost multiples more anywhere closer to the Virginia Beach oceanfront. The population is small and tight-knit. There's a volunteer fire department, a community center, and a genuine sense that neighbors know each other. Currituck County governs the island, which means North Carolina property tax rates and county services apply. For buyers who want elbow room, water views, and a slower cadence without sacrificing proximity to Hampton Roads employment centers, Knotts Island occupies a category entirely its own.
What's nearby
Daily errands require a short drive or ferry ride, which is part of the trade-off island residents happily make. Moyock, NC — about 20 minutes by road — covers most grocery and hardware needs. Currituck Courthouse area adds additional retail and dining options. For a broader day out, the Outer Banks and Corolla are accessible via the 4WD beach route or through Grandy. The Mackay Island National Wildlife Refuge sits right on Knotts Island and offers hiking, paddling, and world-class birding essentially at your doorstep. Virginia Beach's Pungo area is reachable across the ferry for farmers markets and farm stands.

Knotts Island is the kind of place people discover once and can't stop thinking about. The 2,585-square-foot footprint gives you room to spread out, while the island itself gives you a lifestyle that simply doesn't exist anywhere else in the region.
