Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Set back on a generous lot, this 1691-square-foot home sits on 1.2 acres of land—rare in the area. The 1910 construction speaks to solid bones and classic character. You'll find three bedrooms and two full baths arranged across the main floor and upstairs. The property's size and seclusion appeal to anyone seeking space without the suburban density.

ALL OTHERS AREA 126 and the Mathews real estate market

Mathews County is rural Virginia at its quietest. The roads here wind through farmland, forest, and waterfront communities. Ridgefield Road itself is a quiet country lane where neighbors are spread out and the pace is slow. You're in the heart of the Middle Peninsula, where maritime heritage runs deep and the landscape feels genuinely removed from urban sprawl. Mathews is a working waterfront town—fishing, boating, and local agriculture shape daily life. The county seat, Mathews Courthouse, is about 15 minutes away and holds the small-town services you need. Getting around means driving; there's no public transit, but that's part of the trade-off for this kind of solitude. Norfolk and Williamsburg are both within an hour's drive if you need city amenities.

What's nearby

Mathews Courthouse is roughly 15 minutes south, home to local government, a few shops, and the county library. Gwynn's Island, famous for its waterfront charm and boat launches, is about 20 minutes away. The Mathews County Farmers Market operates seasonally in town. Diggs Park offers a public boat ramp and water access for anyone who wants to fish or launch a kayak. Nearby creeks and tributaries feed into the York River and Chesapeake Bay.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

About 37 minutes to Naval Weapons Station Yorktown and Camp Peary. VA loan financing works well in rural Virginia markets. The property's size and distance from base traffic make it appealing for anyone seeking quieter country living. Move-in condition varies; budget for inspection and any updates you'd like.

For buyers drawn to character

An early-1900s home on substantial acreage is increasingly hard to find near Hampton Roads. Original bones, country setting, and room to roam define this property. The 1.2-acre lot lets you imagine gardens, outbuildings, or just space to breathe. This is the kind of place where history and land are the main attractions.

More buyer questions

How far is 1055 Ridgefield Road from Naval Weapons Station Yorktown?

About 37 minutes by car. Camp Peary is roughly the same distance.

What's the lot size, and is there room for a garden or outbuildings?

The property sits on 1.2 acres, which gives you plenty of space for gardens, a workshop, or just open land. That's substantial for this part of Virginia.

When was this home built, and what condition is it in?

The house dates to 1910. A professional inspection will tell you about any updates needed and the current state of the foundation, roof, and systems.

Is Mathews County a walkable area, or do I need to drive everywhere?

Mathews is rural and car-dependent—there's no public transit. Most errands and services require driving, but that's the trade-off for country living and privacy.

Are there waterfront activities or boat access nearby?

Yes. Diggs Park has a public boat ramp about 20 minutes away, and Gwynn's Island is nearby for waterfront recreation. Creeks and tributaries throughout the area offer fishing and kayaking.
