About this home

The listing, in the seller's words

Set on 42 private acres behind a gated entrance, this exceptional estate offers a true countryside paradise just minutes from shopping, dining, and the historic charm of Colonial Williamsburg. A winding tree-lined drive leads to a grand three-level brick home with updated finishes throughout. The property is equestrian-ready with a three-stall barn, hayloft, paddocks, and equipment storage. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy abundant wildlife—including trophy deer and turkey—and a 6-acre stocked pond for fishing. Ride or hike the wooded trails, play tennis or pickleball, then unwind in the full-size movie theater with bar. The expansive third-floor playroom is ideal for a pool table, golf simulator, or gaming setup, perfectly blending recreation, relaxation, and refined country living.

VaHome team overview

Our read on this home

At a glance

Meet 262 Thompson Lane — a four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath estate spanning nearly 8,800 square feet on 42 private acres in Williamsburg, Virginia. Built in 1978, this rare residential property delivers serious space, serious land, and a setting that's genuinely hard to find anywhere near the Historic Triangle.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Forty-two acres in James City County is not a typo. Properties of this scale — where your nearest neighbor is measured in acreage rather than feet — almost never surface in the Williamsburg market. Add nearly 8,800 square feet of living space across four bedrooms and four full baths plus three half baths, and you're looking at a compound-style estate that can absorb a large family, a home office, a workshop, and weekend guests without anyone feeling crowded.

ALL OTHERS AREA 117 and the Williamsburg real estate market

262 Thompson Lane sits in the ALL OTHERS AREA 117 designation of James City County — a broad rural and semi-rural corridor that runs through the western reaches of greater Williamsburg. This isn't a platted subdivision with matching mailboxes; it's the kind of address where acreage parcels are the norm and privacy is the default. If you've been browsing homes for sale in Williamsburg VA and felt like every option was either a tight townhome community or a golf-course neighborhood, this pocket of the county offers something genuinely different. Williamsburg itself — with its Colonial Williamsburg Historic District, Merchants Square, and the broader tourism and university economy anchored by William & Mary — sits roughly in the center of the Historic Triangle formed by Jamestown and Yorktown. That means you're close to real history, real culture, and a surprisingly robust dining and retail scene, while still coming home to 42 acres of your own.

What's nearby

Day-to-day essentials are closer than the rural setting might suggest. A BP station and Greensprings Grocery are both within 0.6 miles, making quick supply runs genuinely quick. The broader Williamsburg corridor along Richmond Road and Monticello Avenue puts you within a short drive of major grocery chains, pharmacies, hardware stores, and a full lineup of restaurants ranging from casual Colonial Williamsburg taverns to modern farm-to-table spots. Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Water Country USA are also within easy reach, which matters a lot if you have kids — or if you just enjoy having world-class entertainment practically in your backyard.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Camp Peary is about 21 minutes away, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown runs roughly 28 minutes out — both very workable commutes from Thompson Lane. If you're using a VA loan, a property of this scale and acreage can represent exceptional long-term value in a market where large rural parcels are increasingly rare. BAH rates for the Hampton Roads area support strong purchasing power here.

For families upgrading

If your current house has everyone tripping over each other, 8,771 square feet across four bedrooms and multiple baths changes the math entirely. You get dedicated space for a home office, a playroom, a guest suite, and still have room left over — all wrapped in 42 acres where the kids can actually roam. Houses for sale in Williamsburg VA rarely offer this combination of interior scale and raw land together.
