Why this home stands out
Raw land inside a gated, amenity-rich community is genuinely hard to find, and 108 Birdie delivers exactly that. Ford's Colony wraps you in manicured streetscapes, golf, and a country club atmosphere before you've broken ground. You choose the builder, the floor plan, the finishes — and the community's infrastructure, roads, and character are already there waiting for you.
FORDS COLONY and the Williamsburg real estate market
Ford's Colony is one of Williamsburg's signature planned communities — a gated neighborhood where tree-lined streets, multiple golf courses, and a genuine sense of cohesion set the tone from the moment you pass through the entrance. The community spans thousands of acres in James City County, blending wooded lots with open fairways and a country club that residents actually use. Williamsburg itself is a city that punches well above its size: Colonial Williamsburg, William & Mary, and a steady calendar of cultural events give it an identity you won't find in a generic suburb. Families comparing homes for sale in Williamsburg consistently cite the balance of small-city charm and real-world convenience — grocery stores, medical offices, and major employers all within a short drive. The 23188 zip code anchors the western and central portions of the city, and it's one of the more sought-after addresses in the region.
What's nearby
Day-to-day life around 108 Birdie keeps things close and easy. Murdoch's at Ford's Colony is just 0.4 miles away — a full-service restaurant right inside the community, which means a weeknight dinner out is practically a walk down the street. Ford's Colony Country Club sits at the same distance, offering golf, fitness, and social programming that becomes part of your routine rather than a special occasion. Beyond the gates, Williamsburg's broader retail and dining corridor along Richmond Road and Route 60 fills in everything else — grocery runs, pharmacies, hardware stores — all within a few miles of the lot.
