Why this home stands out
What sets this address apart is the combination of sheer square footage and lot depth inside a gated, amenity-rich community that most Williamsburg neighborhoods simply can't match. At 4,343 square feet across five bedrooms and four full baths, there's genuine room for everyone — whether that means a dedicated home office, a guest suite, or a playroom that stays off the main living floor. The 0.57-acre lot adds breathing room that's rare this close to the historic triangle.
FORDS COLONY and the Williamsburg real estate market
Ford's Colony is one of Williamsburg's most recognized planned communities — a gated, golf-course neighborhood that stretches across manicured fairways, wooded buffers, and winding streets that feel a world away from the busier corridors of the city. Residents here have access to the Ford's Colony Country Club, tennis courts, and a network of walking and biking paths that make the neighborhood genuinely livable day to day. If you've been browsing homes for sale williamsburg va and wondering where the larger lots and mature tree canopy are hiding, this is the answer. Williamsburg itself sits at the heart of the Virginia Historic Triangle, flanked by Jamestown and Yorktown, and the city balances small-town charm with a surprisingly robust dining, shopping, and cultural scene. James City County jurisdiction means solid infrastructure and services, and the broader area draws a mix of history enthusiasts, military families, and professionals who want quality of life without a major-metro price tag on daily living.
