Tom & Dariya's overview

Our read on this home

by Tom & Dariya Milan, REALTORS® · Brokered by LPT Realty

At a glance

279 Colonial Trail East is a 3,211-square-foot, three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home in Surry, Virginia, built in 1968 on a quiet rural road. It offers generous living space, classic mid-century bones, and an unhurried small-town lifestyle about 27 minutes from Joint Base Langley-Eustis.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 279 Colonial Trail East apart is the sheer volume of space for a Surry address — over 3,200 square feet spread across three full baths and a half bath, all wrapped in a 1968 frame that carries the kind of solid construction you rarely find in newer builds. The lot sits along a calm stretch of Colonial Trail East, giving you breathing room without sacrificing the convenience of walkable everyday errands right down the road.

About the Surry real estate market

Surry, Virginia is one of the quieter corners of the Hampton Roads region — a small, unhurried county seat on the south bank of the James River where neighbors still wave from front porches and the pace of life feels genuinely different from the suburban sprawl across the water. Colonial Trail East is a residential corridor that threads through the heart of town, putting you within a short walk of local shops and a short drive of the river itself. Surry County sits in Isle of Wight County's broader orbit but maintains its own distinct character: wooded lots, open sky, and a community that takes pride in its history. For buyers who want space, quiet, and a real sense of place — rather than a cookie-cutter subdivision — Surry consistently delivers. The town is small enough that you'll know your neighbors, yet connected enough via Route 10 and the Jamestown-Scotland Ferry that Richmond, Williamsburg, and the Peninsula are all within reasonable reach on any given weekend.

What's nearby

Daily life is genuinely easy from 279 Colonial Trail East. Surry Marketplace and Surry Market are both within 0.3 miles, so grocery runs are almost effortless. Dollar General is just half a mile away for quick household needs. When dinner is someone else's job, Anna's Pizza & Italian Restaurant is only 0.2 miles down the road — a local staple worth knowing. Chen's Asian Grill offers another solid option at 0.4 miles. A 7-Eleven sits at 0.4 miles for coffee and convenience items on the go. Smith Park rounds out the picture at half a mile, giving you a green space close enough to walk to on a weekday evening.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Joint Base Langley-Eustis is about 27 minutes away, and Camp Peary sits roughly 32 minutes out — making 279 Colonial Trail East a practical home base for service members on either installation. The square footage here gives a military family real room to spread out, and eligible buyers can put a VA loan to work on a property with this much space.

For buyers drawn to character

If you're drawn to homes with history and heft rather than fresh drywall and thin walls, 279 Colonial Trail East is worth a serious look. Built in 1968 and stretching past 3,200 square feet, the home carries the proportions and craftsmanship of an era when builders weren't in a hurry. Surry itself adds to the appeal — a river town with genuine roots, not a manufactured sense of charm.
