Why this home stands out
Few addresses in this zip code pair nearly 3,400 square feet of single-family living with the full amenity ecosystem of Ford's Colony Country Club just half a mile away. The 1997 build era means solid construction with room-sized proportions that newer, more compact homes rarely match — four true bedrooms, three full baths, a half bath, and enough square footage for every stage of life to feel comfortable rather than squeezed.
FORDS COLONY and the Williamsburg real estate market
Ford's Colony is one of Williamsburg's most established planned communities, recognized across the region for its tree-lined streets, manicured common areas, and a country club campus that anchors daily life for residents. The neighborhood carries a quiet, unhurried character — morning walks feel like a retreat, and neighbors tend to stay for decades rather than years. Homes here were built across several phases from the late 1980s through the 2000s, giving the community a cohesive but not cookie-cutter feel. The broader city of Williamsburg wraps the area in history and practicality in equal measure: Colonial Williamsburg, the College of William & Mary, and a robust retail corridor along Richmond Road are all within a short drive. James City County jurisdiction means residents benefit from county services while enjoying a Williamsburg mailing address. Whether you're drawn by the golf, the green space, the community events, or simply the sense of arriving somewhere that already feels complete, Ford's Colony delivers a lifestyle that holds its appeal year after year.
