Why this home stands out
What sets 10161 Deer Trace Ln apart is the combination of generous square footage — 2,816 finished feet — and a half-bath that keeps the main living areas practical for everyday hosting. The 1993 build year places it in a generation of construction known for solid bones and real room dimensions, not the compressed floor plans that came later. Three full baths across three bedrooms means nobody's waiting in line on a busy morning.
ALL OTHERS AREA 121 and the Gloucester real estate market
Gloucester, Virginia sits on the Middle Peninsula, tucked between the York River to the south and the Piankatank River to the north, giving the county a distinctly unhurried, waterfront-adjacent character without the congestion of the Hampton Roads metro core. Deer Trace Ln sits within this low-density, wooded residential fabric — the kind of street where lots run generous and tree canopy stays intact year-round. Gloucester County governs the area, and the small-town rhythm of Gloucester Courthouse is just a short drive away, offering local government services, a historic district, and a genuine sense of community. If you're weighing Gloucester homes for sale against busier Virginia Peninsula options, the trade-off is clear: you gain space, quiet, and elbow room in exchange for a slightly longer commute to the region's commercial hubs.
What's nearby
Daily errands in Gloucester center on the Route 17 corridor, where you'll find grocery anchors, pharmacies, and a growing lineup of local restaurants and coffee spots within a short drive of Deer Trace Ln. Gloucester Point Beach Park sits on the York River and gives residents easy access to waterfront recreation — fishing, kayak launches, and sunset walks — without leaving the county. The Coleman Bridge connects Gloucester Point to Yorktown in minutes, opening up Colonial Parkway, Yorktown Battlefield, and the broader Historic Triangle for weekend outings. Camp Peary is roughly 32 minutes southwest, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is about 37 minutes away via the bridge.
