5.847 Blackwater Rd, Virginia Beach, VA 23457

Why this home stands out

Five-point-eight-four acres in Virginia Beach is genuinely rare. Most of the city's developable land was absorbed decades ago, so parcels of this size — especially in the Blackwater corridor — come to market infrequently. Whether you're envisioning a custom home with a long private driveway, an equestrian setup, a hobby farm, or simply a land hold in a city that keeps growing, the acreage here gives you options that a standard residential lot simply cannot.

BLACKWATER and the Virginia Beach real estate market

The Blackwater neighborhood sits in the far southwestern reach of Virginia Beach, a city that stretches from the Atlantic coast all the way to the North Carolina border. Out here, the landscape shifts from suburban subdivisions to working farms, timber tracts, and open fields — a character that feels more rural Virginia than resort town. Blackwater Road itself is a quiet rural route where neighbors are measured in acres, not feet. If you've ever searched for a veterinarian for a larger animal and come across listings for sajo farms vet va beach, you already have a sense of the agricultural identity this corridor carries. Virginia Beach's sheer geographic size — the largest city by land area on the East Coast — means this corner of the city operates on its own unhurried rhythm while still connecting to the broader metro. The city provides municipal services, and the rural setting provides the space.

What's nearby

Day-to-day errands run through the towns of Chesapeake and Suffolk, both reachable within roughly 20–30 minutes. The Holland Road and Battlefield Boulevard corridors in Chesapeake carry grocery stores, pharmacies, hardware stores, and dining options that serve the rural southwest Virginia Beach community. Stumpy Lake Natural Area and Northwest River Park offer outdoor recreation — hiking, kayaking, and camping — within a reasonable drive. The North Carolina border is close enough that occasional cross-state shopping or day trips are practical. For anything the city core offers, the Virginia Beach Oceanfront and Town Center are about 45–50 minutes east.
