About this home

This is one of those truly extraordinary homes that must be experienced in person. Set along the Lynnhaven Bay, this remarkable property offers a rare blend of natural beauty, artistry, craftsmanship, and thoughtful design. The grounds are a gardener's dream, lovingly designed and maintained by the Master Gardener owner. Native plantings create a true pollinator's paradise, attracting abundant wildlife and earning certifications, including Certified Wildlife Habitat and Monarch Waystation. Meandering walkways lead through the front and side gardens, where designated beds showcase hundreds of varieties of flowers. The backyard is a breathtaking retreat, anchored by a spectacular 72-foot Pennsylvania Bluestone horizontal fountain inspired by the famed fountains of the Alhambra Palace in Granada. Mature trees frame the grounds, creating privacy and serenity as the property culminates at a private dock overlooking the Lynnhaven Bay with deep-water access. Inside, a dramatic entrance features a distinctive $35,000 Chihuly-style chandelier, custom-blown by local artist John Quillen, who studied under Dale Chihuly. Natural light pours throughout the home beneath soaring cathedral ceilings. The beautifully remodeled kitchen features quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, top-of-the-line appliances, and a spectacular island topped with fossil-filled Italian marble dating back millions of years—a truly one-of-a-kind focal point. The home offers an expansive great room, dining room, library, and five bedrooms, including two ensuite bedrooms. Additional features include a large two-car garage, RV electrical hookup, and an immaculate crawl space with a $6,000 dehumidifier. A home of this character, artistry, and setting is exceptionally rare—and not one you are likely to encounter again.

Why this home stands out

What sets 2908 Gaines Landing apart is the combination of serious square footage — 3,700 feet across five bedrooms and four and a half baths — and a location that quietly delivers on every front. Parks are walkable, two major bases are under fifteen minutes away, and the Great Neck corridor gives you a neighborhood feel without sacrificing access to the broader Virginia Beach metro. Homes with this footprint and this address don't come along often.

GREAT NECK POINT and the Virginia Beach real estate market

The Great Neck area of Virginia Beach is one of those places that earns genuine loyalty from the people who live there. It sits between Broad Bay and Long Creek, giving the whole corridor a low-key waterfront character without the crowds you'd find closer to the Oceanfront. Streets here tend to be quiet and tree-lined, the lots are generous, and neighbors tend to stay put — which tells you something. Virginia Beach itself is a city of about 460,000 people spread across a geography that ranges from beach resort to rural farmland, and the Great Neck pocket sits squarely in the middle: suburban in the best sense, with real infrastructure and genuine green space. Families comparing Virginia Beach homes for sale often land in this zip code because it threads the needle between commute convenience, neighborhood quality, and access to the water. The 23454 zip covers a swath of the city's north-central area, and Gaines Landing sits right in the heart of it.

What's nearby

Daily life is easy from this address. Broad Bay Estates Park is just 0.6 miles out, and Great Neck Park & Indoor Pavilion is barely a half-mile farther — both are solid options for weekend mornings or after-school hours. Chelsea/Green Hill Park adds another green space at under a mile. For fitness, Virginia Beach Tennis & Country Club and Great Neck Recreation Center are both within 0.8 miles. When it's time to eat, The Porch on Long Creek and Long Bay Pointe Bait and Tackle give you that waterfront-casual vibe at about a mile out, and Si2healthcare rounds out the local dining options even closer at 0.8 miles.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is a ten-minute drive from 2908 Gaines Landing, and NAS Oceana is only eleven minutes in the other direction — so no matter which branch or mission set you're attached to, the commute works. The five-bedroom layout handles PCS moves with room to spare, and a VA loan is a natural fit for a home at this price point and size. This is the kind of address that makes a tough relocation feel like a genuine upgrade.

For families upgrading

Five bedrooms and 4.1 baths give a growing family genuine breathing room, and the 3,700-square-foot footprint means everyone gets their own space without feeling like you're rattling around. Families comparing homes for sale zoned for Cox High School and homes for sale zoned for John B. Dey Elementary School will find that Gaines Landing sits in a part of Virginia Beach where the neighborhood itself does a lot of the parenting — parks within walking distance, low traffic, and a community that tends to stay put.
