Why this home stands out
Few addresses in the Hampton Roads region combine square footage at this level with the full resort-style infrastructure of Kingsmill — a gated, master-planned community on the James River. At 4,054 square feet across three bedrooms and three and a half baths, the home offers room to spread out in a neighborhood that was purpose-built for comfort. The 1987 construction era means solid bones, generous room proportions, and a mature, tree-lined setting that newer subdivisions simply can't replicate.
KINGSMILL and the Williamsburg real estate market
Kingsmill is one of Williamsburg's most recognized planned communities, developed along the James River with a level of infrastructure — gated entry, golf courses, tennis facilities, a marina, and miles of trails — that sets it apart from virtually every other neighborhood in the area. When people searching homes for sale williamsburg va come across Kingsmill, the reaction is usually immediate recognition: this is the community with the resort feel. Streets are wide, tree canopy is mature, and the overall pace feels deliberate and unhurried. Williamsburg itself sits at the intersection of Virginia history and modern livability — Colonial Williamsburg, William & Mary, and the region's tourism economy give the city a cultural depth that most comparably sized Virginia cities don't have. James City County governance means residents benefit from a well-funded county infrastructure while staying close to the conveniences of the broader Hampton Roads metro. Whether you're drawn by the history, the outdoor access, or simply the quality of the built environment, Williamsburg consistently earns its reputation as one of Virginia's most desirable places to put down roots.
What's nearby
Daily life outside the gates is equally convenient. Kingsmill Recreational Park is under a mile away at 0.8 miles, offering green space and outdoor activity right at the neighborhood's edge. Kingsmill Recreational Soccer Park adds another active-use option just 0.9 miles out — a genuine asset for households with kids or anyone who values walkable recreation. The broader Williamsburg corridor along Route 60 and the Monticello Avenue corridor puts grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, and retail within a short drive. Busch Gardens and Water Country USA are practically neighbors, and the Colonial Williamsburg historic district is just minutes up the road, making weekend plans almost effortless.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Camp Peary is roughly 12 minutes away, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown sits about 14 minutes out — making 240 William Barksdale a practical choice for service members assigned to either installation. Kingsmill's gated environment and generous square footage translate well for families who want stability and space during a tour of duty. VA loan eligibility can make a home at this price point even more accessible, and BAH rates in the Williamsburg area have historically supported the local market.
For families upgrading
If your current home has started to feel tight, 4,054 square feet inside Kingsmill is a meaningful step up. Three full baths plus a half bath means morning routines don't require negotiation, and the mature neighborhood setting gives kids room to move — between Kingsmill Recreational Park and Kingsmill Recreational Soccer Park, outdoor time is always close. Williamsburg's strong community identity and well-regarded county services make this the kind of address families tend to stay in for the long term.
