2904 E Island Rd, Williamsburg, VA 23185

Why this home stands out

What sets 2904 E Island Road apart is the combination of scale and setting that's genuinely rare inside Governor's Land. Six bedrooms give growing households real breathing room, while the 0.604-acre lot creates a sense of privacy that smaller parcels in the community simply can't match. The 1991 construction means solid bones and generous room proportions, and Park East at Governor's Land is a 0.1-mile walk from your front door — that kind of immediate green-space access is hard to replicate.

GOVERNORS LAND and the Williamsburg real estate market

Residents here tend to value the quiet, the mature tree canopy, and the sense of community that comes with a neighborhood that has been home to families for decades. If you're weighing Williamsburg homes for sale and privacy is near the top of your list, Governor's Land consistently rises to the conversation. The 23185 zip code covers a broad swath of western Williamsburg and James City County, anchoring you to one of the most livable corners of coastal Virginia.
