OverviewAbout this home

Great and rare opportunity in the southern countryside of Chesapeake. 42.4 acres with about 28 acres cleared and ready for your custom home in a quiet country atmosphere.

Sit on your back porch and watch the wildlife. Road front of this property is zoned R-15s which may present opportunity for an additional building lot and also the possibility for "cluster" development as well. 339 feet of total road frontage.

ALL OTHERS AREA 32 and the Chesapeake real estate market

Benefit Road sits in a rural pocket of Chesapeake, Virginia, where open land and working farms still define the character. The area is quieter and more spacious than the city's developed neighborhoods, with room to breathe and plan. Chesapeake itself is Virginia's largest city by land area—a blend of suburban neighborhoods, agricultural heritage, and commercial growth. Getting around is straightforward via major roads like Route 17 and the interstate corridors that connect you to Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and the broader Hampton Roads region. Anyone comparing homes for sale zoned for Grassfield High School and homes for sale zoned for Grassfield Elementary School will find this parcel offers flexibility to build in a well-served zone. The rural setting preserves open vistas while keeping you connected to regional employment and services.
