Why this home stands out
Size and setting together are hard to find in Williamsburg at this scale. At 4,425 square feet on a property inside a gated, amenity-rich golf community, 108 Longboat gives you the kind of square footage that typically means a longer commute or a compromise on neighborhood quality — here, you get neither. Ford's Colony wraps the address in mature landscaping, quiet streets, and a country-club lifestyle that starts practically at your front door.
FORDS COLONY and the Williamsburg real estate market
Ford's Colony is a gated master-planned community in James City County, Virginia, and it carries a reputation that precedes it across the greater Williamsburg area. The neighborhood is built around three championship golf courses, and the streets inside feel genuinely unhurried — wide, tree-lined, and well-maintained by an active homeowners association. Residents here tend to stay for a long time, which gives the community a settled, neighborly character that newer developments rarely replicate this quickly.
Williamsburg itself is one of the more livable mid-size cities in coastal Virginia. The Colonial Williamsburg historic district, the College of William & Mary, and a walkable arts-and-dining scene give the city cultural depth that surprises first-time visitors. The broader economy is stable and diversified across tourism, higher education, healthcare, and defense contracting — which means the area attracts a wide range of households and tends to weather economic cycles reasonably well. For anyone relocating to the Virginia Peninsula, Williamsburg consistently lands near the top of the list.
What's nearby
Daily life outside the gates is straightforward. Murdoch's at Ford's Colony is just 0.4 miles away — a full-service restaurant that doubles as a neighborhood gathering spot without requiring a drive across town. The Ford's Colony Country Club is equally close at 0.4 miles, giving residents easy access to fitness facilities, golf, and social programming. For broader errands, Williamsburg's Route 60 corridor puts grocery stores, pharmacies, and national retailers within a short drive. The broader James City County area continues to add retail and dining options, so the convenience picture keeps improving.
