Why this home stands out
Land this size is genuinely hard to find inside Fredericksburg's city limits. At 1.38 acres, 11520 Piedmont Drive gives you the breathing room to design a custom home, add outbuildings, create outdoor living spaces, or simply enjoy the privacy of a larger footprint — all without retreating far from everyday amenities. It's a blank canvas in a market where blank canvases are increasingly rare.
ALL OTHERS VA AREA 51 and the Fredericksburg real estate market
Fredericksburg, Virginia sits at the crossroads of history and momentum. Located roughly halfway between Washington, D.C. and Richmond along the I-95 corridor, the city draws people who want access to major metro areas without paying metro prices or living metro-dense. The area around Piedmont Drive sits in the western reaches of Fredericksburg — a quieter, more residential stretch where lots tend to run larger and the pace feels noticeably calmer than the busier commercial corridors closer to downtown. Spotsylvania County borders this part of the city closely, and the broader region has seen consistent growth over the past two decades as commuters, military families, and remote workers alike discover how much Fredericksburg offers. Parks, local markets, and neighborhood restaurants are all within easy reach, and the historic downtown district — with its riverfront, boutiques, and dining scene — is just a short drive away. This is Fredericksburg land for sale in one of its most spacious, low-density pockets.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are well covered from Piedmont Drive. Two Sister's Market and Superior Latin Market are both under a mile away, offering fresh and specialty groceries without a long drive. Musterfield Farms brings seasonal produce and Christmas trees just 0.9 miles out — a nice neighborhood perk. For a quick bite, Tokyo Express III and Vinny's Italian Grill & Pizzeria are both within easy reach, and a 7-Eleven sits just 0.4 miles away for coffee and convenience. Harrison Road Park is also 0.4 miles from the address, giving you a nearby green space for walks, recreation, and fresh air.
For different buyers
For families upgrading
If your current home feels like it's shrinking, 1.38 acres changes the math entirely. You can design a floor plan built around your family's actual life — not the one that came with the house. Add a detached garage, a workshop, a large backyard, or just the buffer of space between you and your neighbors. Building from the ground up means every square foot is intentional.
For buyers drawn to character
For buyers who've spent years touring homes that almost fit — wrong layout, wrong lot, wrong feel — land is the answer. At 11520 Piedmont Drive, you're not inheriting someone else's choices. You're starting with 1.38 acres in an established Fredericksburg neighborhood and building exactly what you want, from the foundation up. That kind of ownership is rare and worth pursuing.
