VaHome Team property overview

Why this home stands out
What sets this parcel apart is the combination of acreage, elevation implied by the 'High Bluff' address, and a location that sits comfortably between Richmond and the Hampton Roads metro without belonging fully to either. You get rural quiet with legitimate access to two major job and lifestyle corridors — a positioning that's increasingly uncommon as New Kent County fills in around its edges.
YORK RIVER BLUFFS and the Barhamsville real estate market
Barhamsville sits in the western reaches of New Kent County, a stretch of Virginia that has held onto its rural character longer than most of the I-64 corridor. The community is unincorporated and unhurried — think long driveways, mature hardwoods, and neighbors who measure distance in minutes rather than blocks. High Bluff Lane itself carries that same energy: a quiet road where 5.1 acres doesn't feel extravagant, it feels appropriate. New Kent County land in Barhamsville Virginia has been drawing buyers who want acreage within a reasonable commute, and it's easy to see why. Richmond is roughly 35 miles to the west, Williamsburg is about 15 miles to the east, and the broader Hampton Roads region is accessible via I-64 without the density that comes with living inside it. The county seat in New Kent offers basic services, and the overall pace here is genuinely slower — in the best possible way.
What's nearby
Williamsburg is your closest full-service hub, sitting about 15 miles east along I-64, with grocery stores, restaurants, urgent care, and the Colonial Williamsburg historic district all within reach. New Kent Winery is a short drive and worth knowing about. The Chickahominy River corridor offers fishing and paddling access nearby. For everyday errands, the Toano area of James City County fills in some gaps closer than downtown Williamsburg. Richmond's Short Pump corridor is roughly 35 miles west for major retail, medical centers, and airport access via Richmond International.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Camp Peary is approximately 36 minutes from this parcel, making it a workable option for personnel who want land and space rather than a subdivision. A VA loan can be used to purchase land when paired with a construction loan for a primary residence — worth exploring if building from the ground up fits your timeline and goals.
For buyers drawn to character
If your vision involves a custom home on your own terms — your setbacks, your floor plan, your timeline — this is the kind of parcel that makes that possible. Five-plus acres in a quiet New Kent County setting gives you room to design a property that reflects exactly how you want to live, without the compromises that come with buying someone else's finished product.
Frequently asked questions
How far is High Bluff Lane in Barhamsville from Camp Peary?
Camp Peary is approximately 36 minutes from this address via I-64 East, making it one of the more accessible rural parcels for personnel assigned there.
What can you build on a 5.1-acre parcel in New Kent County?
New Kent County zoning and health department requirements govern what's buildable — including minimum lot size for a conventional septic system, setback rules, and permitted uses. A pre-application conversation with the county's planning and zoning office is the standard first step before any construction planning.
Is this parcel in a flood zone?
Flood zone status for this parcel should be confirmed through FEMA's Flood Map Service Center using the property's legal description or parcel ID — your agent or lender can walk you through that lookup.
Does this land have road frontage and utility access?
Frontage on High Bluff Lane is indicated by the address, but utility availability — including water, sewer, and electric — should be verified directly with New Kent County and the relevant utility providers before purchase.
Can a VA loan be used to buy land in Virginia?
A VA loan on its own is designed for homes, not raw land, but some lenders offer construction-to-permanent loan products that incorporate VA benefits when a primary residence will be built — it's worth discussing with a VA-experienced lender to understand your specific options.
