Why this home stands out
What sets 1301 Sanderson Road apart is the combination of recent construction and real land. Built in 2020, you get modern systems, current building codes, and a layout designed for how people actually live today — all sitting on 3.2 acres in a part of Chesapeake where that kind of space is increasingly rare. Four bedrooms, three and a half baths, and 2,863 square feet give every member of the household room to spread out without compromise.
HICKORY and the Chesapeake real estate market
Hickory sits in the southwestern corner of Chesapeake, one of the most spacious and least congested pockets of a city that already feels roomier than most of Hampton Roads. The area draws buyers who want acreage, mature trees, and a quieter pace without giving up city services or reasonable commute times. Properties here tend to sit on larger lots, and the neighborhood has a distinctly rural-residential character — think gravel driveways, open sky, and neighbors you can't see from your front porch. Chesapeake itself is Virginia's second-largest city by land area, and Hickory reflects that scale. The drive out toward the lake drummond causeway chesapeake va corridor puts the Great Dismal Swamp and its wildlife refuges practically in your backyard, making this corner of the city a genuine draw for outdoor enthusiasts. It's a part of Chesapeake that rewards buyers who are specifically looking for land, privacy, and a home that doesn't feel like it was dropped into a subdivision.
What's nearby
Daily life is well-supported from Sanderson Road. Grocery options including Food Lion and Walmart Supercenter are within about 15 minutes heading toward the Hickory commercial corridor on Battlefield Boulevard. You'll find pharmacy, urgent care, and a solid spread of casual dining — including local spots and national chains — in that same stretch. For outdoor recreation, Northwest River Park is one of the region's best-kept secrets: canoe launches, camping, and miles of trails just a short drive south. The Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge offers hiking and wildlife watching practically next door. Chesapeake Regional Medical Center is roughly 20 minutes northeast.
