Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Six acres give you room to build, expand, or develop as you see fit. The lot sits in Bowers Hill, a neighborhood with a mix of rural character and suburban convenience. You're close enough to major employers and services, yet far enough out to enjoy open space. Land at this scale in homes for sale in Chesapeake doesn't come around often. Whether you're planning a custom home, a small farm, or something else entirely, the canvas is yours.

BOWERS HILL and the Chesapeake real estate market

Bowers Hill is a Chesapeake neighborhood that blends country living with proximity to city services. Tree-lined roads and generous lot sizes define the area's character. You'll find a mix of established homes and open land, creating a quieter pace than the urban core. Chesapeake itself is Virginia's largest city by land area, stretching across the southern Tidewater region. Getting around is straightforward on major routes like Route 17 and Route 58. Shopping, dining, and services cluster in nearby commercial zones. If you're comparing homes for sale in 23321, note that land parcels like this one offer flexibility that finished homes cannot. The city balances rural roots with modern infrastructure, making it appealing to buyers seeking both space and access.

What's nearby

Frank's Restaurant and Frank's Truck Stop sit less than a mile away, offering casual dining and a community gathering spot. Bowers Hill itself has a small-town feel despite being part of Chesapeake. Route 17 runs nearby, connecting you to broader shopping and services across the city. The neighborhood is rural enough to feel removed from traffic, yet urban enough that you're never far from what you need.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

About 16 minutes to Norfolk Naval Shipyard and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth. VA loan financing is widely available for land purchases in this area. The location offers quick access to both bases without the commute burden. Six acres gives you room to settle in and build your long-term home.

Room to grow

Six acres provide space to design exactly what you need. Build a custom home with room to grow, add outbuildings, or create a private retreat. The open land lets you plan for your future without the constraints of a smaller lot. This parcel offers flexibility that finished homes cannot deliver.
