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.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is roughly 20 minutes from this parcel, and Dam Neck Annex sits about 23 minutes away. For a service member looking to use a VA loan to finance a land purchase or construction project, acreage like this — within reasonable commuting range of two installations — is worth a serious look. BAH rates in the Virginia Beach metro make ownership on a parcel this size financially compelling compared to living closer to the base.
For families upgrading
If your next chapter involves more space — a custom-built home, room for animals, a garden that's actually a garden — 5.84 acres in Blackwater is the kind of canvas that rarely appears. You're not trading up within a subdivision; you're stepping into a genuinely different lifestyle. Design the floor plan you've always wanted, set it back from the road, and still have acres left over for whatever comes next.
Frequently asked questions
How far is 5847 Blackwater Road from USCG Finance Center Chesapeake?
The drive runs approximately 20 minutes under normal conditions, heading north toward the Chesapeake city limits. It's a manageable daily commute for personnel assigned to that installation.
How far is 5847 Blackwater Road from Dam Neck Annex?
Dam Neck Annex is roughly 23 minutes away, traveling east through the Virginia Beach interior. The route is primarily two-lane rural road transitioning to larger corridors as you approach the base.
What can you build on a 5.84-acre parcel in the Blackwater area of Virginia Beach?
Permitted uses depend on the parcel's current zoning designation under Virginia Beach's land-use code — agricultural, residential, or a conditional overlay — so confirming zoning with the Virginia Beach Department of Planning and Community Development is the essential first step before designing any project.
Is 5847 Blackwater Road in a flood zone?
Flood zone status for this parcel should be verified through FEMA's Flood Map Service Center or the separate FloodRisk tool on this page, as conditions in rural Virginia Beach can vary significantly by lot elevation and proximity to drainage features.
Are there utilities already at the property on Blackwater Road?
Utility availability — including water, sewer, and electrical service — should be confirmed directly with Virginia Beach Public Utilities and Dominion Energy, as rural parcels in the Blackwater corridor may require well, septic, and new electrical service connections rather than existing hookups.
