Why this home stands out

Land this size doesn't come around often in the Virginia Beach area. The acreage gives you room to build your vision without immediate neighbors pressing in. Whether you're drawn to agricultural use, hobby farming, or long-term development, the scale here is genuinely uncommon. Zoning and site conditions will shape what's possible, but the foundation is solid ground and space.

BLACKWATER and the Virginia Beach real estate market

Blackwater is a quieter corner of Virginia Beach, where open land and rural character still define the landscape. The neighborhood sits south and west of the main urban core, making it feel removed from the bustle while staying within the city limits. Roads here are less trafficked, and properties tend toward larger acreage. Virginia Beach itself is a major city with strong military ties, but this pocket retains a country feel. Getting around the broader area is straightforward via local roads, and the city's amenities are a short drive away when you need them. Anyone comparing homes for sale in Virginia Beach will notice how rare it is to find acreage this substantial within city boundaries.

What's nearby

The Blackwater area keeps you near open countryside while staying connected to Virginia Beach's services. A few miles out, you'll find grocery stores, restaurants, and everyday shops. Local parks offer outdoor recreation. The USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is about 19 minutes away, and NSA Northwest Annex is roughly 20 minutes. This parcel sits in a zone served by area schools—check the school pages for program details.
