Why this home stands out
Five acres in Gloucester is a real statement. This 1991-built home delivers 3,500 square feet across four bedrooms and three full baths — plus two half baths — giving everyone in the household their own space. The acreage means a long driveway, trees for privacy, and room to expand, garden, or simply exhale. Properties with this combination of square footage and land in Gloucester's rural corridor don't surface every season.
ALL OTHERS AREA 121 and the Gloucester real estate market
Gloucester, Virginia carries a quiet confidence that's hard to manufacture. Rooted in colonial history and Chesapeake Bay culture, the county blends working farmland, tidal creeks, and a genuinely tight-knit community. Hill Trail sits within Gloucester's broader rural residential corridor — Area 121 — where five-acre parcels are the norm rather than the exception, and neighbors are close enough to wave to but far enough away to give you real privacy. The county seat of Gloucester Courthouse is a short drive and delivers a charming main street feel with local shops and services. Gloucester Point, just across the Coleman Bridge, connects you to the broader Hampton Roads metro. You're in York County territory within minutes and can reach the Virginia Peninsula's full range of dining, healthcare, and commerce without surrendering the pastoral setting that makes Gloucester worth choosing in the first place.
What's nearby
Daily life from 4698 Hill Trail is more convenient than the acreage might suggest. Gloucester's Route 17 corridor puts grocery stores, pharmacies, and casual dining within a manageable drive. The Coleman Bridge over the York River connects you to Yorktown and Williamsburg — both under an hour — opening up Colonial Williamsburg, Busch Gardens, and the York River State Park trail system. For waterfront time closer to home, Gloucester Point Beach Park is a local favorite. Camp Peary is roughly 31 minutes away, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown sits about 39 minutes out — making this address workable for service members stationed on the Peninsula.
