Why this home stands out
Five acres in Gloucester is the kind of lot that lets you breathe. Whether you're eyeing a garden the size of most backyards, space for a workshop, or simply the ability to step outside without seeing a neighbor's window, 10161 Deer Trace Lane delivers that room. The 1993 construction gives you solid bones without the quirks of a much older home, and the 3.1-bath count means morning routines don't become a negotiation.
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 — a geography that shapes the whole character of daily life here. The county seat, Gloucester Courthouse, anchors a small-town core with a historic district, local diners, and a farmers' market culture that feels genuinely rooted rather than curated. Deer Trace Lane sits in the broader rural-residential fabric that defines much of Gloucester County outside the courthouse village — the kind of address where five-acre lots are the norm, not the exception. Neighbors tend to be a mix of long-time locals and families who made a deliberate choice to trade suburban density for space. The primary keyword for this area is Gloucester VA homes with acreage, and 10161 Deer Trace Lane fits that profile exactly. You're close enough to Route 17 to reach everyday conveniences quickly, yet far enough off the main corridor that the road noise never finds you.
What's nearby
Gloucester Courthouse village is your closest hub for errands and meals — a short drive east on Route 17 puts you near grocery options, pharmacies, hardware stores, and a handful of locally owned restaurants. Gloucester Point, roughly 15 minutes south, opens up waterfront dining, the Virginia Institute of Marine Science campus, and the Coleman Bridge crossing into Yorktown. For a larger retail run, Williamsburg's shopping corridor is accessible in under 40 minutes. Camp Peary is approximately 32 minutes away, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown sits about 37 minutes out — both reachable without touching a major urban interchange.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
If you're attached to Naval Weapons Station Yorktown or Camp Peary, a 32-to-37-minute drive on mostly rural and secondary roads is a reasonable daily trade for five acres of private land. A VA loan can make this kind of acreage property more accessible than you might expect, and Gloucester's lower cost basis compared to the immediate Williamsburg market is worth a close look.
For families upgrading
Three bedrooms and three and a half baths across 2,816 square feet means everyone gets a door to close — and five acres means the kids have genuine outdoor space that isn't measured in feet. If you've been in a subdivision and the walls have started feeling close, this is the kind of property that resets the baseline for what home feels like.
