Why this home stands out
Few addresses in the area combine this much interior square footage with a private nearly half-acre lot inside a gated, amenity-rich community. Built in 1989 and sitting along the Par Drive corridor of Ford's Colony, the home delivers four bedrooms, three full baths, and a half bath across 4,119 square feet — giving households that need room to spread out genuine breathing space without sacrificing neighborhood character or convenience.
FORDS COLONY and the Williamsburg real estate market
Ford's Colony is one of the most recognized planned communities in the region, and 203 Par Drive sits squarely inside it. The neighborhood wraps around a celebrated golf course and country club, with tree-lined streets, manicured common areas, and a gated entrance that gives the whole place a distinct sense of arrival. Residents here tend to stay for years — the community has that effect. If you're browsing homes for sale williamsburg va, Ford's Colony consistently stands out for its combination of green space, walkable internal paths, and access to dining and fitness without leaving the neighborhood. Williamsburg itself adds another layer: colonial history, a robust dining scene, and a steady economic base anchored by tourism, education, and defense contractors. James City County jurisdiction means solid public services and a suburban character that balances accessibility with elbow room. The 0.41-acre lot at 203 Par Drive fits naturally into this landscape — spacious enough to feel private, but surrounded by the kind of neighborhood infrastructure that makes daily life genuinely enjoyable.
