Why this home stands out
New construction on an acre-plus lot is genuinely rare in this part of Chesapeake, and 2864 Raccoon Trail delivers exactly that. You're getting 3,424 square feet of fresh, modern living space — four bedrooms, three full baths, one half bath — without the compromises of an older home. The 1.37-acre lot means real breathing room: space for a future pool, a garden, a play area, or simply the kind of backyard privacy that smaller suburban lots can't offer.
SANDERSON ESTATES and the Chesapeake real estate market
Sanderson Estates sits in the southern stretch of Chesapeake, Virginia — a city that consistently draws buyers looking for space, quality of life, and a slower pace without sacrificing convenience. The neighborhood itself is a quiet, established enclave of larger-lot homes where the streets feel intentional and the neighbors tend to stay. If you've been browsing real estate listings in Chesapeake VA, you've likely noticed how quickly well-positioned homes in this zip code move — and Sanderson Estates is a big reason why. The 23322 zip code is one of the city's most desirable, known for generous lot sizes, newer construction, and a distinctly suburban feel that still keeps you connected to everything Hampton Roads has to offer. Chesapeake is the third-largest city in Virginia by land area, which means growth here has room to breathe — and Sanderson Estates reflects that character well.

Daily life is easy from Raccoon Trail. Grocery runs, pharmacy stops, and dining are all within a short drive along the Battlefield Boulevard and Volvo Parkway corridors — two of Chesapeake's main commercial arteries.

The Greenbrier area puts a full lineup of retail, restaurants, and services within roughly 15 minutes. For waterfront dining or a change of scenery, the Elizabeth River and Great Dismal Swamp Canal Trail are both accessible from this part of the city. Norfolk and Virginia Beach are each under 30 minutes away.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is about 23 minutes from the front door, and NAS Oceana comes in around 33 — both well within a reasonable daily commute. VA loan eligibility and BAH rates in the Hampton Roads area make a new-construction home on 1.37 acres a genuinely compelling option for military households looking to put down roots in a stable, high-quality neighborhood. Sanderson Estates has the kind of long-term appeal that holds value through PCS cycles.
For families upgrading
If your current home has started to feel like it's working against you — not enough bedrooms, a yard that disappears in a weekend — 2864 Raccoon Trail is worth a serious look. Four bedrooms and 3,424 square feet give every family member actual space, and the 1.37-acre lot means outdoor life is genuinely part of the picture. New construction also means no deferred maintenance surprises waiting for you after move-in. Working with experienced realtors in Chesapeake VA who know this neighborhood can make the transition straightforward.
