1301 Sanderson Rd, Chesapeake, VA 23322

Why this home stands out

What sets 1301 Sanderson Road apart is the combination of acreage and age. Three-plus acres in a 2020 construction is genuinely rare in Chesapeake — most newer builds come with tight lots and HOA restrictions. Here you get a home built to current codes and energy standards, with the elbow room that older rural properties offer but rarely pair with modern finishes and systems. Four bedrooms, three full baths, a half bath, and nearly 2,900 square feet make the interior as generous as the land.

HICKORY and the Chesapeake real estate market

The Hickory area of Chesapeake sits in the southwestern corner of the city, where the pace slows down and the lots open up. This is one of Chesapeake's most sought-after pockets — a place where neighbors wave from long driveways and tree lines define property edges rather than vinyl fencing. Chesapeake itself is the second-largest city by land area in the continental United States, and that scale means Hickory residents enjoy genuine space while still being part of a well-resourced city with strong infrastructure and services. Families comparing Chesapeake homes for sale consistently gravitate toward this zip code for its balance of land, newer construction, and community character. The 23322 zip code runs along the Virginia–North Carolina border corridor, giving it a distinctly unhurried feel compared to the more densely developed northern reaches of the city. Daily life here moves on your terms.

What's nearby

Everyday errands are more accessible than the rural setting might suggest. Grocery options, pharmacies, and dining along Battlefield Boulevard are roughly 10–15 minutes north. The Chesapeake Expressway provides a direct shot toward Virginia Beach when you need it. Outdoor recreation is close at hand — Northwest River Park, one of the region's best-kept camping and paddling destinations, is just minutes away. For those who prefer a quick coffee run, local spots along Cedar Road serve the Hickory corridor well. When you do need the city, you're there in under 20 minutes without feeling like you ever left the country.
