About this home

A turnkey 1.3-acre property with the space, garages, porches and privacy buyers keep looking farther out to find--yet this is just across the Virginia line. The 1,707 finished sf is only part of what this property delivers: a 528sf partially finished FROG, 720sf Master Steel detached garage/workshop and 418sf of Trex-decked covered porches w/new ceiling fans add exceptional usable space beyond the main living area. Tucked back off the end of a quiet road, the setting is open, private and exceptionally well kept, with room for boats, equipment, hobbies, entertaining and simply spreading out. A huge covered front porch welcomes you to an airy foyer, where transom windows above the entry doors, integrated blinds, high ceilings, new carpet and abundant natural light set a tone for a home that feels spacious from the moment you enter. The great room flows naturally into the dining and kitchen areas. At the heart of the home, the kitchen features a gas cooktop, beautiful backsplash, a coffee bar, Bosch, and a built-in pantry. Exit doors from both the great room and kitchen open directly to the full-length covered rear Trex deck. The split-bedroom design places the primary suite privately on the opposite side of the home from the secondary bedrooms. A tray ceiling adds architectural interest, while his-and-her walk-in closets, and a separate soaking tub complete the suite. There's considerably more beyond the living area. The attached garage is finished with painted walls and floor plus a convenient side exit. Above it, the FROG is partially finished, giving the next owner a head start for future living space. The Master Steel detached garage/workshop provides substantial room for a boat, equipment, projects, and the gear. Add an RV/generator hookup, outdoor shower, expansive usable yard and the advantage of being outside the flood zone. This is a thoughtfully improved, move-in-ready property offering the land, garage and workshop space, outdoor living and breathing room that can be difficult to find this close to Virginia Beach and Chesapeake.

Tom & Dariya's overview

Our read on this home

by Tom & Dariya Milan, REALTORS® · Brokered by LPT Realty

At a glance

A 2013-built, three-bedroom, two-bath home on Knotts Island — one of coastal North Carolina's most genuinely off-the-beaten-path communities. At 1,707 square feet, 166 Blackfoot Road offers modern construction and a pace of life you simply cannot find closer to the city.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Built in 2013, this home sidesteps the maintenance headaches that come with older coastal construction. Three bedrooms and two full baths spread across 1,707 square feet give you real living space without the sprawl. What sets it apart most, though, is the address itself — Knotts Island is a place where neighbors still wave, wildlife outnumbers traffic, and the horizon stays wide open. That combination of modern build quality and genuine rural character is rare anywhere in the Hampton Roads region.

KNOTTS ISLAND NC and the Knotts Island real estate market

Knotts Island sits at the far northeastern edge of Currituck County, North Carolina — a peninsula community accessible by a scenic ferry crossing from Currituck or by a longer drive through Virginia Beach. That geographic quirk gives the island a character unlike anywhere else in the region: quiet, unhurried, and surrounded by the Currituck Sound and its marshlands. Waterfowl hunting has drawn people here for generations, and the island's wildlife refuge and open water views remain the backdrop to everyday life. The community is small and tight-knit, the kind of place where you know your neighbors and the night sky is actually dark. If you are weighing a move away from suburban density, Knotts Island delivers a lifestyle that feels genuinely removed — without requiring you to leave the broader Hampton Roads metro entirely.

What's nearby

Day-to-day recreation is close at hand. Knotts Island Skate Park and Knotts Island Ruritan Park are both within 0.7 miles of 166 Blackfoot Road, giving kids and adults an easy place to get outside without a long drive. The Ruritan Park in particular anchors community events and open green space that the island's residents rely on year-round. For groceries, dining, and larger retail, residents typically head across the ferry or north through Virginia Beach — a trade-off that most Knotts Island households consider well worth the slower pace and open space they get in return.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Dam Neck Annex is roughly 41 minutes away — a commute that trades congestion for countryside. For service members who value space, quiet, and a home that feels genuinely separate from base life, 166 Blackfoot Road is worth the drive. A VA loan can make the financing side straightforward, and the 2013 construction means fewer surprises once you move in.

For buyers drawn to character

Not every buyer wants a subdivision. If you have been searching for something with real geographic identity — a place that earns its character rather than performing it — Knotts Island is a legitimate answer. The ferry crossing, the sound views, the dark skies: these are not amenities you can add to a lot. They come with the address, and 166 Blackfoot Road puts you right in the middle of it.

More buyer questions

How far is 166 Blackfoot Road from Dam Neck Annex?
