17040 White Marsh Rd, Surry, VA 23883

Why this home stands out

What sets 17040 White Marsh Road apart is its combination of genuine age and character — this is a home built in 1940, carrying the proportions and craftsmanship of that era — and a location that puts you firmly outside the suburban sprawl while keeping two major military installations well within commuting range. Surry County moves at its own pace, and this address is a real expression of that.

About the Surry real estate market

Surry, Virginia sits on the south bank of the James River, directly across from Williamsburg, and it's one of the quieter corners of the broader Hampton Roads region. The county is small, largely rural, and defined by farmland, woodland, and the kind of unhurried community character that's hard to manufacture. White Marsh Road itself runs through open countryside — you're not dealing with subdivision traffic or crowded cul-de-sacs here. The town of Surry is nearby, offering basic services, and the Jamestown-Scotland Ferry connects Surry County to the Historic Triangle without requiring a long highway drive. For anyone weighing Surry County residential options, this stretch of White Marsh Road represents the kind of address that anchors a genuinely different lifestyle — one where the James River is part of your backdrop and the pace of daily life is set by the land around you, not the traffic ahead of you.

What's nearby

Day-to-day needs are handled in the town of Surry, with grocery and pharmacy stops a short drive away. The Jamestown-Scotland Ferry terminal puts you across the James River and into the Historic Triangle — Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown — in about fifteen minutes on the water. Surry County also has direct access to scenic routes along the James River, and the broader area offers fishing, hunting, and outdoor recreation that draws people from across Hampton Roads. It's a quieter orbit, but a well-connected one.
