Why this home stands out
Scale and setting together are rare in this zip code. A 4,507-square-foot footprint on a 0.47-acre lot inside a gated, amenity-rich community checks boxes that most Williamsburg addresses can't. Built in 2001, the home hits that sweet spot where construction quality is proven and the bones are solid, yet the layout reflects the open, functional floor plans that modern buyers actually want. Five bedrooms means flexibility — home office, guest suite, playroom — without compromise.
FORDS COLONY and the Williamsburg real estate market
Ford's Colony is a gated, master-planned community in James City County that has anchored the western side of Williamsburg since the late 1980s. The neighborhood wraps around a 54-hole golf complex, with tree-lined streets, community pools, tennis courts, and a clubhouse that give it a resort-like rhythm without the resort-town price premium. Deed restrictions keep the streetscape consistent and the common areas well-maintained, and an active HOA handles the community infrastructure so residents don't have to. When people searching for homes for sale williamsburg va narrow their list to gated communities with this level of amenity depth, Ford's Colony comes up at the top almost every time. Williamsburg itself blends colonial history, a major university presence, and a surprisingly diverse dining and arts scene — all within a mid-sized city that doesn't feel congested. James City County schools, low crime rates, and easy access to I-64 round out why this particular corner of Hampton Roads draws buyers from across the country.
