Why this home stands out
What sets 24233 Bertorna Drive apart is the combination of a full acre of land and a right-sized floor plan that keeps utility costs and upkeep realistic. Four bedrooms in under 1,400 square feet means every room earns its keep, while the lot gives you the breathing room — garden space, a fire pit corner, a place to park a trailer or boat — that tighter suburban lots simply can't offer.
About the Drewryville real estate market
Drewryville is a small, unincorporated community in Southampton County, Virginia, where the pace is deliberate and the landscape opens up into farmland, timber tracts, and quiet country roads. Life here runs on a different rhythm than Hampton Roads — neighbors know each other, skies are genuinely dark at night, and a one-acre lot is a normal thing to have, not a luxury. The Drewryville area sits in the western reaches of Southampton County, roughly equidistant from Emporia to the south and Franklin to the east, giving residents access to everyday services without the congestion of larger metro areas. If you value space, privacy, and a community where things feel grounded and unhurried, Drewryville delivers that in a way that few places in Virginia still can. Bertorna Drive itself is a residential street with a rural character — low traffic, tree lines, and the kind of quiet that lets you actually hear the seasons change.
What's nearby
Franklin, Virginia — about 20 minutes east — is the closest hub for grocery shopping, pharmacies, and dining, with a Food Lion and several locally owned restaurants anchoring the downtown. Emporia is a comparable drive to the south and adds additional retail and dining options along US-58. For outdoor recreation, the Blackwater River corridor and surrounding Southampton County woodlands offer fishing, hunting, and hiking close to home. The area is also within reach of the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge for more serious nature outings. Day-to-day errands are manageable, and the trade-off is a level of quiet and space that's genuinely hard to find.
For different buyers
For families upgrading
If your current home feels like the walls are closing in, a full acre in Drewryville resets that entirely. Four bedrooms give every family member a defined space, and the outdoor acreage means kids have room to actually run, build, and explore — not just a postage-stamp backyard. For families ready to trade density for depth, 24233 Bertorna Drive makes a compelling case.
For buyers drawn to character
There's something increasingly rare about a property that sits on a full acre of Southampton County land with mature surroundings and no HOA constraints telling you what you can or can't do with it. For buyers who want a home that feels like it belongs to the landscape — not a subdivision grid — Drewryville's rural character and this address's generous lot are the real draw.
