Why this home stands out
Land this size is genuinely hard to come by in Hampton's established coastal neighborhoods. At 1.34 acres, 231 Benthall Road gives you room to design from scratch — setbacks, orientation, footprint — without the compromises that come with buying someone else's floor plan. You're not inheriting anyone else's decisions here. The lot sits in a low-density pocket where larger parcels are the exception, not the rule, which makes this one stand out on a map.
ALL OTHERS AREA 101 and the Hampton real estate market
Hampton is one of the oldest English-speaking settlements in America, and its eastern edge — where 231 Benthall Road sits — still carries that unhurried, coastal character. The ALL OTHERS AREA 101 designation covers a stretch of Hampton that blends quiet residential streets with genuine proximity to the water. Buckroe Beach is under a mile away, and the broader Hampton waterfront gives the whole area a relaxed, outdoor-oriented feel year-round. If you've been browsing houses in hampton va and wondering where the elbow room went, this part of the city is one of the answers. Hampton sits in the heart of Hampton Roads, bordered by the Chesapeake Bay to the east and the James River to the south, with easy access to I-64, the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel, and the rest of the region. It's a city that rewards people who want coastal living without the resort-town price premium.
What's nearby
Daily errands are covered without much effort. Little E's Grocery is just 0.7 miles away for quick runs, and Coasters Beach Grill — also 0.7 miles out — is the kind of casual waterfront spot that becomes a regular habit. Buckroe Beach and Park is less than a mile from the lot, offering a genuine sandy beach, a fishing pier, and open green space. Green Wave Watersports at Buckroe Beach puts kayaking and paddleboarding within easy reach for anyone who wants to get on the water. A 7-Eleven is 0.9 miles away for convenience stops.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Joint Base Langley-Eustis is about 9 minutes from 231 Benthall Road, and Naval Station Norfolk is roughly 15 minutes out — both well within the range where BAH math tends to work in your favor. Building on a lot this size means you can design a home that fits your family's actual needs rather than settling for available inventory. A VA loan can often be used for construction financing, making this a path worth exploring with your lender.
For buyers drawn to character
If your idea of a home starts with a site plan rather than a Zillow photo, 231 Benthall Road is worth a serious look. A 1.34-acre lot in an established Hampton neighborhood — walking distance to a real beach — is the kind of opportunity that lets you build something with genuine intention. You choose the orientation, the materials, the layout. The land is already here. The vision is yours to bring.
