Why this home stands out
Five thousand square feet is rare anywhere, but finding it in a peaceful, wooded subdivision like The Colonies makes 276 Colony TRL genuinely stand out. The 2002 construction means you get a layout designed for modern living — four true bedrooms, three full baths plus a half bath, and room to spread out in ways that tighter suburban lots simply can't offer. This is the kind of property where square footage stops being a number and starts being a lifestyle.
THE COLONIES and the Lanexa real estate market
Lanexa is a small, unhurried community in King William County — the kind of place where the lots are large, the tree cover is real, and the pace of daily life reflects it. The Colonies subdivision fits that character well: residential streets lined with substantial homes, generous setbacks, and a genuine sense of privacy between neighbors. If you've been searching for ranch style homes for sale or simply a property that doesn't feel crowded, this corner of New Kent County delivers. Lanexa sits roughly between Richmond and the Peninsula, which means you're within a reasonable drive of both urban cores without being absorbed by either. US Route 60 is your main artery, connecting you westward toward Richmond and eastward toward Williamsburg and the broader Hampton Roads region. It's a trade-off — you gain space, quiet, and land in exchange for a longer commute — and for the right buyer, that's an easy trade to make.
What's nearby
Daily errands are manageable from Lanexa with a short drive east toward Toano or west toward Quinton, where you'll find grocery options, pharmacies, and gas stations along the Route 60 corridor. Williamsburg is roughly 25 minutes east, opening up a much wider range of dining, shopping, and services including the Williamsburg Premium Outlets and Colonial Williamsburg's historic district. Outdoor recreation is a genuine draw here — the Chickahominy River and surrounding wildlife management areas are close, making this a strong location for fishing, kayaking, and hunting. Richmond is about 40 minutes west for major medical centers, airports, and big-city amenities.
