Tom & Dariya's overview

Our read on this home

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

At a glance

Twelve bedrooms and seven full baths on ten acres in rural Mathews. Built in 1969, this expansive home offers serious space for a large household or multi-generational living. Set back from the road with room to roam.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

The scale here is genuine: 7,274 square feet across twelve bedrooms means real flexibility. You're not paying for a name or a trend—you're getting acreage and square footage that opens doors. Whether you need guest suites, office space, or room for extended family, the footprint delivers. Rural Mathews means privacy and land without the commute burden to major employment centers.

About the Mathews real estate market

Mathews is a quiet, rural county on the Middle Peninsula, where properties sit on substantial lots and neighbors respect distance. Tree-lined roads, working farmland, and water access define the area's character. The pace is slower here—you're not rushing through strip malls or traffic lights. Yorktown and Williamsburg lie within 30 minutes, and the broader Hampton Roads region is under an hour away. Daily errands mean a drive, but that trade-off buys you genuine seclusion. The county seat of Mathews offers basic services, and the Chesapeake Bay shoreline sits nearby for weekend exploration.

What's nearby

Mathews Courthouse is about five miles south. Yorktown's historic district and waterfront shops are roughly 20 minutes away. The nearest grocery and pharmacy are in Mathews village, a short drive. For dining and larger retail, Williamsburg and Newport News open up within 30 to 40 minutes. The Chesapeake Bay and public boat launches are within 15 minutes, ideal if you enjoy water recreation. Seafood restaurants and antique shops dot the surrounding towns.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

About 36 minutes to Camp Peary and 37 minutes to Naval Weapons Station Yorktown. VA loan financing is widely available for properties in this region. The acreage and room count suit multi-generational households or those needing office and guest space without relocating frequently.

Room to grow

Twelve bedrooms and seven baths give you genuine flexibility: master suites, guest rooms, home offices, and playspace all under one roof. Ten acres mean a fenced yard, outbuildings, and breathing room. Storage is abundant, and the layout supports a household that's grown beyond a typical four-bedroom home.

More buyer questions

How far is 172 Aldebaran Road from Naval Weapons Station Yorktown?

About 37 minutes by car. Camp Peary is roughly 36 minutes away, making either base a reasonable commute for those stationed there.

What is the lot size at this address?

The property sits on ten acres, offering substantial privacy and room for outbuildings, gardens, or recreational space.

How many bedrooms and bathrooms does this home have?

Twelve bedrooms and 7.1 bathrooms across 7,274 square feet, providing flexibility for large households, guest suites, or home offices.

Is Mathews a walkable neighborhood?

No—Mathews is rural, and daily errands require a car. The trade-off is privacy, acreage, and a slower pace of life away from busy commercial areas.

What year was this home built?

The home was built in 1969 and offers the square footage and bedroom count typical of larger residential properties from that era.
