Three-bedroom, two-bath home on White Marsh Road in Surry. Built in 1940, this 1,216-square-foot residence sits on rural acreage. About 18 minutes to Joint Base Langley-Eustis. A quiet country setting with character and land.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

This 1940s home carries the charm of its era—solid bones and authentic period details. The three-bedroom, two-bath layout offers flexibility on a generous lot. Rural Surry location means privacy and space without the density of suburban neighborhoods. If you're drawn to older homes with history and land, this address delivers both. The setting feels removed from the rush, yet bases are within reasonable commute range.

About the Surry real estate market

Surry is a rural corner of the Peninsula, defined by open land, farmsteads, and quiet roads. White Marsh Road itself is a country route—the kind of address where neighbors are spaced out and the pace is slow. You'll find a mix of older homes and newer builds scattered across acreage. Surry sits between the James River to the south and the York River to the north, giving the whole area a water-adjacent feel even if your lot doesn't touch it. The county seat, Williamsburg, is about 30 minutes west. Newport News and Hampton anchor the Peninsula to the east, roughly 20–25 minutes away. Daily life here centers on self-sufficiency: you'll drive to shops, restaurants, and services. But if you value land, quiet, and a slower rhythm, Surry delivers. The area draws people who want room to breathe and don't mind the trade-off of car dependency.

What's nearby

Surry has a small-town character with a few local anchors. Surry Marketplace and local shops cluster near the county center. The James River State Park offers outdoor access and trails. Williamsburg—with its historic district, dining, and retail—is about 30 minutes west. Seafood restaurants and casual spots dot the Peninsula. For groceries and everyday needs, you'll typically drive 10–15 minutes to larger retail areas in Newport News or the surrounding communities. The rural setting means fewer walkable amenities, but that trade-off buys you land and peace.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Joint Base Langley-Eustis (Fort Eustis) is about 18 minutes away, making this a reasonable commute for active-duty and civilian personnel. Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is roughly 26 minutes. VA loan financing is common in the Peninsula region, and rural properties like this one often appeal to buyers using VA benefits. The quiet country setting and acreage can be a welcome change from base-adjacent density.

For buyers drawn to character

A 1940s home on rural acreage is a draw for buyers who value authenticity and history. The three bedrooms and two baths give you room to work with, and the land itself—often the biggest appeal of Surry properties—opens possibilities for expansion, gardens, or simply space. Older homes reward buyers willing to embrace their quirks and invest in updates. If you're comparing rural Virginia properties, this address offers genuine character and elbow room.
