Tom & Dariya's overview

Our read on this home

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

At a glance

1753 Founders Hill South sits on nearly half an acre inside Governors Land, Williamsburg's premier gated waterfront community. This 4,863-square-foot, four-bedroom home built in 2015 delivers upscale finishes and generous space in one of the most sought-after addresses in 23185.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Governors Land is one of the few communities in the region where a private marina, Tom Fazio-designed golf course, and tennis facilities all share the same gated address. This 2015-built home brings nearly 4,900 square feet of thoughtfully arranged living space to that setting — a rare combination of scale, age, and amenity access that's genuinely hard to replicate anywhere in the Williamsburg market.

GOVERNORS LAND and the Williamsburg real estate market

Governors Land at Two Rivers sits where the James and Chickahominy Rivers meet, and the setting shapes everything about daily life here. The community is gated and guard-staffed around the clock, with tree-lined streets, a deep-water marina, a golf course, fitness center, and multiple pools woven through the landscape. It's a neighborhood that draws buyers who want resort-caliber amenities without sacrificing the feeling of a real, rooted community. Williamsburg itself is a short drive away — a small city that punches well above its size in restaurants, arts, and culture, anchored by Colonial Williamsburg and the College of William & Mary. Families comparing homes for sale in Williamsburg consistently note how the city balances historic character with genuinely modern conveniences. The 23185 zip code covers some of the most established and desirable addresses in the area, and Founders Hill South sits comfortably among them.

What's nearby

Day-to-day errands are easy from this address. New Town, Williamsburg's walkable mixed-use district, is roughly ten minutes away and covers everything from Whole Foods and Target to local restaurants and a movie theater. Merchants Square puts boutique shopping and Colonial Williamsburg dining within a short drive. For outdoor time, Waller Mill Park offers trails and a reservoir just a few miles north. The Capital Trail connects cyclists to Richmond. And when you want the water, the Governors Land marina is practically in your backyard — no trailering required.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Camp Peary is about 27 minutes from Founders Hill South, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown sits roughly 33 minutes out — both well within a reasonable commute window. A VA loan can be a strong fit for a home at this price point, and the gated, stable environment of Governors Land tends to hold its appeal across multiple duty-station cycles.

For families upgrading

Four bedrooms, three and a half baths, and nearly 4,900 square feet give a growing family genuine room to spread out. Families comparing homes for sale zoned for Jamestown High School and homes for sale zoned for Matoaka Elementary School will find that Governors Land checks both boxes — with the added draw of pools, trails, and a marina that make weekends feel like something special.
