Tom & Dariya's overview

Our read on this home

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

At a glance

22242 Ball Park Road sits on a 1.08-acre lot in Newsoms, Virginia, a quiet Southampton County community with wide-open space and genuine small-town character. The 1963-built home offers four bedrooms, two and a half baths, and 2,613 square feet of living space. Room to breathe is the defining feature here.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

An acre of land in a walkable small town is a rare combination, and 22242 Ball Park Road delivers both. Built in 1963, the home carries the solid construction and generous room sizes that defined that era. Four bedrooms and 2,613 square feet give you real flexibility — a home office, a guest room, a hobby space — without the cramped floor plan that comes with newer infill construction. The half-bath adds everyday convenience that older homes in this price range often skip.

COURTLAND and the Newsoms real estate market

Newsoms is a small, unincorporated community in Southampton County, tucked into the agricultural heartland of southeastern Virginia. The pace here is deliberate. Streets are quiet, neighbors tend to know each other, and the landscape opens up into fields and tree lines that make the sky feel bigger. Ball Park Road itself sits close to the center of town, which means everyday errands are a short drive rather than a long one. Southampton County governs this area, and the county seat of Courtland is about 15 minutes west. The region is deeply rooted in Virginia history, and that character shows in the architecture and the land patterns throughout the area. Franklin, Virginia — the nearest small city — is roughly 20 minutes away and carries a full range of services, from grocery stores to medical offices to local dining. Commuters heading toward the Hampton Roads metro can reach Suffolk in under an hour. The combination of rural quiet and reasonable access to larger towns makes Newsoms a practical choice for anyone who wants space without full isolation.

What's nearby

Daily life in Newsoms runs through a handful of nearby anchors. Franklin, about 20 minutes south, is the go-to hub for groceries, pharmacies, and sit-down dining. The Blackwater River runs through the broader region and draws fishing and paddling enthusiasts throughout the year. Southampton County parks and open recreational land are accessible within a short drive. Courtland, the county seat, is roughly 15 minutes west and handles most county services and government offices. The drive to Suffolk opens up a wider range of retail and dining options for bigger shopping trips.

For different buyers

Room to grow

Four bedrooms and 2,613 square feet give you room to spread out without compromise. The 1.08-acre lot adds outdoor space that is genuinely usable — room for a garden, a fire pit, a play area, or all three. The half-bath means the main living areas stay functional even when the house is full. Storage and flexibility are built into the bones of this 1963 layout.

For first-time buyers

A four-bedroom home on over an acre in Southampton County is a significant amount of property for a first purchase. The 1963 construction means solid bones and room sizes that newer entry-level homes rarely match. Anyone comparing homes for sale in Newsoms will notice that this combination of square footage and lot size is hard to find at this scale. VA loan financing is common in this part of Virginia, and the county's lower cost of living stretches a budget further.
