Why this home stands out
What sets 247 Pond Point Place apart is its address: Mathews County is genuinely rare. There are no traffic lights in the entire county, waterfront and water-view properties are the norm rather than the exception, and the community has a tight-knit character that's hard to find anywhere else on the Virginia coast. A 1980-built home here carries the bones of that era — solid construction, established landscaping, and a sense of place that newer developments simply can't replicate.
ALL OTHERS AREA 126 and the Mathews real estate market
Mathews County sits on a peninsula between the Chesapeake Bay and the Piankatank and Mobjack Bay systems — and that geography shapes everything about daily life here. The county has no incorporated towns, which means 247 Pond Point Place in Mathews, Virginia 23109 sits in an unincorporated landscape of creeks, coves, and country roads.
