Why this home stands out
New construction in Cape Charles is rare, and 17503 McCotter Lane is the real thing — a 2026-built, three-bath home with 2,107 square feet of thoughtfully laid-out space in one of Virginia's most talked-about coastal towns. You're getting modern systems, modern finishes, and a location that puts the Chesapeake Bay lifestyle right outside your door without sacrificing the comfort of a home built for today.
THE LANDINGS and the Cape Charles real estate market
Cape Charles sits at the southern tip of Virginia's Eastern Shore, a narrow peninsula where the Chesapeake Bay meets the Atlantic corridor and the pace of daily life runs a little slower — in the best possible way. The town itself is a designated historic district, lined with late-Victorian and early-20th-century architecture, a walkable main street, and a harbor that draws boaters, kayakers, and anyone who appreciates a genuine small-town waterfront. McCotter Lane sits within this broader Cape Charles community, where new construction like this home is genuinely uncommon. Northampton County governs the area, and the surrounding landscape is a mix of farmland, nature preserves, and bay-access corridors. Whether you're drawn here for the quiet, the water, the community events, or simply the idea of owning something new in a place that feels timeless, Cape Charles delivers a lifestyle that's hard to replicate.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are easy — a Dollar General is just 0.7 miles away for quick household needs, and Barrier Islands Salt Co., about 0.9 miles out, offers a locally rooted grocery option with Eastern Shore character. When morning calls for something special, Buttercups Biscuits & Bagels is just a mile away and exactly the kind of neighborhood spot that makes a small town feel like home. Cape Charles Town Beach, the historic downtown, and the Cape Charles Natural Area are all within easy reach for weekends spent outdoors.
