Why this home stands out
Ten acres in Mathews County is the kind of space that simply doesn't come up often. This 1969-built home delivers six bedrooms and four and a half baths across 3,523 square feet, giving large households real room to spread out. Whether you're drawn by the acreage for horses, gardens, outbuildings, or just the privacy of a long driveway and no visible neighbors, 172 Aldebaran Road offers a scale of property that's genuinely hard to replicate in coastal Virginia.
About the Mathews real estate market
Mathews County is one of those places people discover and quietly never want to leave. Tucked into the Middle Peninsula between the Chesapeake Bay and the Piankatank River, Mathews has a character entirely its own — unhurried, water-oriented, and refreshingly free of the suburban sprawl that defines so much of Hampton Roads. The county seat, Mathews Court House, is a walkable village with a real small-town feel: local shops, a farmers market, and a tight-knit community that still gathers for county events. Buyers searching for homes near nas oceana will find Mathews sits well outside that Virginia Beach corridor, trading beach-town density for open land, tidal creeks, and a pace of life that feels deliberate. Properties here tend to sit on larger lots, and ten-acre parcels like 172 Aldebaran Road represent the kind of rural-coastal lifestyle that draws buyers from across the region. Mathews County falls under its own independent jurisdiction, keeping the community distinct from the larger Hampton Roads metro while remaining connected to it via Route 17 and Route 14.
What's nearby
Day-to-day life in Mathews keeps things local and low-key. Mathews Grill and Deli is just about a mile away — a go-to spot for a quick lunch or a casual dinner without the drive. When you're in the mood for something different, Mi Casa Azteca Mexican Restaurant & Cantina is also right around the mile mark and a reliable neighborhood favorite. The Mathews County Courthouse area puts basic errands, county services, and a handful of independent businesses within easy reach. For larger grocery runs or big-box shopping, Gloucester and Williamsburg are the practical anchors, both accessible within a reasonable drive on Route 17.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is roughly 37 minutes from 172 Aldebaran Road, and Camp Peary runs about 36 minutes out. For military households who want space — real space, not a quarter-acre suburban lot — this ten-acre property offers something genuinely different. A VA loan can make a purchase like this more accessible than many buyers expect, and the commute to either installation is a straightforward drive through rural Virginia.
For families upgrading
Six bedrooms and four and a half baths across 3,523 square feet means everyone gets their own corner. Add ten acres and you have room for a trampoline, a garden, a fire pit, a workshop, and still have pasture left over. Families upgrading from a smaller suburban home often find that Mathews County resets their expectations entirely — this is the kind of property where kids actually go outside.
