Why this home stands out
What sets 16199 Drake Road apart is the land. A 1.06-acre lot in a rural Southampton County setting gives you real outdoor space — room for a garden, a fire pit, a workshop, or simply a yard where the neighbors aren't right on top of you. The 1994-built home delivers a practical, well-proportioned floor plan across nearly 2,000 square feet, pairing that square footage with a lot size you'd rarely find at this price point closer to the coast.
ALL OTHERS AREA 68 and the Sedley real estate market

You're in the rural heart of the Hampton Roads region here, surrounded by farmland and woodlands that give the area a distinctly unhurried character. Southampton County is known for its wide-open spaces, low density, and tight-knit community feel, which draws people who want distance from suburban congestion without completely disconnecting from the metro. The Sedley area sits comfortably within driving range of Franklin, Virginia, where you'll find everyday conveniences, dining, and services. For larger shopping and employment hubs, the broader Hampton Roads corridor is accessible via US-58.
