Why this home stands out
Sixty-four acres is the headline here, and it earns that billing. Whether you're drawn to the idea of farming, hunting, trail riding, or simply having a buffer between you and the rest of the world, this property delivers scale that almost no residential listing in the region can match. Pair that acreage with over 4,000 square feet of living space and two and a half baths, and you have a home that's as functional as it is freeing.
About the Belle Haven real estate market
Belle Haven sits on Virginia's Eastern Shore in Accomack County, a long, unhurried peninsula that separates the Chesapeake Bay from the Atlantic Ocean. The community is small and agricultural in character — the kind of place where neighbors know each other, the horizon stays wide open, and the pace of daily life reflects the land around it. Copes Drive itself is tucked into the rural fabric of the area, where 64-acre parcels aren't anomalies but part of the landscape's natural rhythm. The Eastern Shore has been drawing people who want elbow room and authenticity for generations, and Belle Haven delivers both without pretense. Accomack County's low-density character means your surroundings stay quiet, and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel connects the peninsula to Virginia Beach and the broader Hampton Roads metro when you need it — making this feel remote without being isolated.
What's nearby
The town of Exmore is within easy reach for everyday needs, and Onley offers grocery options and pharmacy services along Route 13, the Shore's main commercial corridor. Chincoteague Island and Assateague National Seashore are a reasonable drive north, giving you access to some of the East Coast's most distinctive coastal landscapes. Onancock, a charming waterfront town with restaurants and a working wharf, is also nearby. For larger shopping or medical appointments, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel puts Virginia Beach within roughly an hour and a half, making the Shore genuinely livable rather than just scenic.
