Why this home stands out
Four-plus acres in a city zip code is genuinely rare, and that's exactly what 1560 Sanderson Road offers. Built in 2025, this single-family home gives you new-construction quality without a postage-stamp lot — room for a future detached garage, a pool, a workshop, or simply the kind of yard where kids and dogs can disappear for hours. The 3,581-square-foot floor plan handles four bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths without feeling oversized or hollow.
SANDERSON ESTATES and the Chesapeake real estate market
Sanderson Estates sits in the southwestern corner of Chesapeake, Virginia — a part of the city where the density thins out and the lots grow generous. The 23322 zip code is one of the quieter pockets in a city that already prizes elbow room, and homes for sale in 23322 at this acreage level are the kind you bookmark and revisit. Streets here feel more like country roads than suburban grids, yet city water, city services, and quick highway access are all within reach. Chesapeake itself is the second-largest city by land area in the contiguous United States, which tells you something about its character — sprawling, green, and deliberately unhurried. The Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge anchors the western edge of the region, and the broader landscape of South Hampton Roads wraps the city in waterways, farmland, and preserved open space. If you are comparing Chesapeake homes for sale and prioritizing acreage alongside modern construction, this address deserves a serious look.
What's nearby
Daily life is easy from Sanderson Road. The Hickory commercial corridor along Volvo Parkway puts grocery stores, pharmacies, and casual dining within a ten-to-fifteen minute drive. Greenbrier Mall and the full retail belt along Chesapeake's core add another layer of options in roughly the same window. For outdoor time, Northwest River Park — one of the most underrated green spaces in Hampton Roads — is a short drive south and offers kayak launches, hiking trails, and camping. Interstate 664 and Route 17 both connect quickly from this part of the city, making the broader Hampton Roads metro accessible without the daily grind of congested arterials.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
The USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is roughly 22 minutes away, and NAS Oceana sits about 32 minutes out — both manageable commutes from Sanderson Estates. A VA loan pairs naturally with a new-construction purchase like this one, and the four-plus-acre lot gives a military family genuine flexibility: space for a home office, a gym setup, or simply a property that holds its character through multiple PCS cycles.
For families upgrading
Families comparing homes for sale zoned for Hickory High School and homes for sale zoned for Hickory Elementary School will find 1560 Sanderson Road squarely in that zone — and the four-acre lot adds something school-zone searches rarely surface: actual outdoor space. Four bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths handle a growing household without compromise, and 2025 construction means the mechanical systems, roof, and finishes all start the clock fresh.
