Why this home stands out
Vacant land inside a gated, amenity-rich community is genuinely hard to come by in this part of Virginia. At just over half an acre, 104 Freshwater Bay gives you meaningful room to plan a custom footprint, orient the home to your liking, and work with a builder of your choice — all while landing inside Ford's Colony's established streetscapes, mature tree canopy, and country-club lifestyle infrastructure.
FORDS COLONY and the Williamsburg real estate market
Ford's Colony is one of Williamsburg's most recognized planned communities — a gated neighborhood spread across rolling, wooded terrain on the city's west side. The community centers on the Ford's Colony Country Club, which anchors a lifestyle built around golf, tennis, swimming, and a genuine sense of place. Streets here wind through mature hardwoods, and the overall feel is unhurried without being remote. Williamsburg itself punches well above its size: colonial history, a respected university, a thriving arts scene, and a dining corridor that draws visitors from across the Mid-Atlantic. For anyone tracking city of williamsburg real estate, Ford's Colony consistently represents the upper tier of the market — not because of flash, but because of what the community has quietly built over decades. James City County jurisdiction means access to county services while staying close to everything the city core offers. The combination of a gated address, half-acre lot, and proximity to downtown Williamsburg is genuinely uncommon.

Day-to-day life from Freshwater Bay is convenient. Murdoch's at Ford's Colony sits just 0.3 miles away — a neighborhood restaurant that doubles as a social hub for residents.

Beyond the immediate neighborhood, Williamsburg's main commercial corridors along Richmond Road and Monticello Avenue are reachable in minutes, putting grocery stores, pharmacies, and a wide range of restaurants well within reach.
