Why this home stands out
What sets 118 Rigby Lane apart is the combination of substantial square footage and a true acre-plus lot in a low-traffic coastal village that most buyers never think to explore. Built in 1992, the home delivers nearly 3,500 square feet of interior space alongside outdoor elbow room that's genuinely hard to find at this scale anywhere along the Middle Peninsula. It's a property that rewards buyers who want privacy without sacrificing a livable, well-proportioned floor plan.
ALL OTHERS AREA 126 and the Diggs real estate market
Diggs is a small, unhurried waterside community tucked into Middlesex County on Virginia's Middle Peninsula, where the Piankatank River meets the Chesapeake Bay. Life here moves at its own pace — neighbors tend to know each other, boat traffic replaces rush-hour noise, and the landscape stays green and open in ways that the Hampton Roads metro rarely allows. The Diggs Virginia 23045 zip code covers a stretch of rural shoreline that has attracted watermen, retirees, and remote workers who want genuine quiet without total isolation. Middlesex County governs the area, keeping the tax base small and the community character intact. The nearest full-service towns are Deltaville to the south and Saluda — the county seat — roughly twenty minutes inland, so daily errands require a short drive, but that trade-off is exactly what draws people here. If you've been searching for a home where the backyard feels like a destination rather than an afterthought, Diggs tends to end that search.
What's nearby
Deltaville, about ten minutes south on Route 33, is the go-to hub for marine supplies, casual waterfront dining, and the basics of everyday life. Saluda offers a broader range of grocery, pharmacy, and retail options in about twenty minutes. The Deltaville Community Center and Stove Point Park give outdoor enthusiasts accessible waterfront access nearby. For a wider selection of dining and shopping, Gloucester Courthouse is roughly thirty-five minutes north, and the full retail corridor of Williamsburg sits about an hour away. Richmond is reachable in under ninety minutes for major medical, airport, and urban amenities.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Camp Peary and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown are each roughly forty-five minutes from 118 Rigby Lane — a commute that trades congestion for scenery on mostly rural two-lane roads. For a military family using a VA loan to purchase, the combination of acreage, square footage, and a quieter quality of life can make that drive feel like a worthwhile daily reset rather than a burden.
For families upgrading
Three bedrooms, three full baths, a half bath, and 3,476 square feet on 1.43 acres gives a growing family genuine room to spread out — indoors and out. The 1992 construction means the bones are solid and the layout is practical, while the lot size opens the door to a garden, a workshop, a play area, or simply the kind of yard where kids actually want to spend time.
