Why this home stands out
Five acres is genuinely rare this close to the Virginia Peninsula's employment corridor. At 4698 Hill Trail, you get a 3,500-square-foot home with four bedrooms and three and a half baths, plus the kind of land that lets you breathe — space for a garden, outbuildings, or simply a long walk without leaving your own property. The 1991 build means solid bones with room to personalize on your own timeline.
ALL OTHERS AREA 121 and the Gloucester real estate market
Gloucester, Virginia sits on the Middle Peninsula, tucked between the York River and the Piankatank River, and it carries a character that's genuinely hard to replicate. The county blends working farms, waterfront stretches, and quiet residential roads in a way that feels intentional rather than accidental. Hill Trail itself sits in a low-density pocket of the county where five-acre parcels are the norm rather than the exception. For buyers weighing urban area vs suburban area living, Gloucester lands firmly in its own category — not a bedroom community carved out of a city grid, but a place with its own pace and identity. Gloucester Courthouse, the county seat, anchors the area with local shops, a farmers market, and a historic district that dates back centuries. The broader community has grown steadily without losing the open-land feel that draws people here in the first place. Commuters heading to the Peninsula cross the Coleman Bridge into Yorktown and Williamsburg, a drive that's straightforward on most mornings.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are more convenient than the acreage might suggest. Gloucester's Main Street corridor puts grocery options, pharmacies, hardware stores, and local restaurants within a short drive of Hill Trail. The Wal-Mart Supercenter on George Washington Memorial Highway covers the big-box runs, and several local diners and cafes give the area a genuine small-town dining scene. For outdoor time, Beaverdam Park offers trails, a reservoir, and kayak launches just a few miles away. The York River State Park is reachable in under 30 minutes for hiking and water access. Williamsburg's Colonial Williamsburg district and broader shopping and dining options are roughly 25 minutes by car.

For military families relocating
Camp Peary is about 31 minutes from 4698 Hill Trail, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown sits roughly 39 minutes out — both manageable commutes for most duty schedules. A VA loan can make a property at this acreage and square footage more accessible than many buyers expect, and BAH rates for the Williamsburg-area zip codes are worth a close look when you're running the numbers on a home this size.
For families upgrading
If you've been in a subdivision home and keep thinking about more space — real space, not just a slightly bigger backyard — 4698 Hill Trail answers that question with 5.11 acres and 3,500 square feet under one roof. Four bedrooms and three and a half baths handle a growing household without anyone feeling crowded. For families weighing suburbs vs urban trade-offs, Gloucester's pace and land availability offer something the closer-in markets simply can't match at this scale.
