Why this home stands out
Nearly six acres in a metro area is a rare thing, and that's the defining feature of 3217 Cedarville Road. You're getting a substantial 3,354-square-foot home with four bedrooms and room to spread out — indoors and out. Whether you're thinking about a garden, a workshop, animals, or simply the luxury of not seeing your neighbor's windows from yours, this lot delivers a lifestyle that compact subdivisions simply can't replicate.
HICKORY and the Chesapeake real estate market
Hickory sits in the southwestern corner of Chesapeake, Virginia — one of the most land-rich and quietly sought-after pockets in the region. The character here is distinctly rural-suburban: long driveways, mature trees, and properties measured in acres rather than square feet. It's the kind of place where people stay for decades, drawn by the space, the slower pace, and the genuine sense of community that comes with it. If you've been browsing chesapeake va homes for sale and wondering where the larger lots are hiding, Hickory is usually the answer. Chesapeake itself is Virginia's second-largest city by land area, which means even as the region grows, there's still room for properties like this one to exist without feeling crowded. The city's infrastructure — roads, utilities, and services — is solid, and the overall quality of life ranks consistently high across Hampton Roads.
What's nearby
Northwest River Park is just a mile from your front door — 763 acres of trails, camping, canoe launches, and open water that most Chesapeake residents drive much farther to reach. Daily errands are handled along the Battlefield Boulevard corridor, where you'll find grocery stores, pharmacies, hardware stores, and a full range of dining options within a reasonable drive. The broader Hickory area connects easily to both the Chesapeake city core and the Virginia Beach border, giving you flexibility without sacrificing the quiet that drew you out here in the first place.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is about 23 minutes away, and NAS Oceana runs roughly 34 minutes — both manageable commutes from a property this size. If you're working with a VA loan, the combination of acreage, square footage, and proximity to two installations makes 3217 Cedarville Road worth a serious look. BAH rates in the Hampton Roads area are among the stronger figures in the mid-Atlantic, and a home like this tends to hold its value well over a typical tour of duty.
For families upgrading
Four bedrooms and 3,354 square feet give a growing family genuine room to breathe — and nearly six acres means the kids have outdoor space that most suburban lots can't come close to matching. There's room for a trampoline, a fire pit, a garden, and still have lawn left over. If you've been doing a city of chesapeake property search looking for something with real land attached, this address is one of the more compelling results you'll find in the Hickory corridor.
