About this home

The listing, in the seller's words

Six unspoiled, wooded acres located on John Tyler Highway (Route 5), just minutes from Route 199, with approximately 30 feet of road frontage. The property is bordered by established neighborhoods to both the east and west, offering a balance of privacy and nearby development. Public water and sewer are available, eliminating the need for a soil study or alternative septic system. A natural gas easement is also in place. A wetland field delineation was completed approximately one year ago. While a new buyer would need to obtain updated wetland and RPA delineations, the existing study provides an excellent guide and would help confirm the location of the property's developable area.

Why this home stands out

Six-acre parcels this close to a walkable commercial strip and two military installations don't surface often in James City County. Whether you're envisioning a custom home, a small hobby farm, a multi-structure compound, or simply a long-term land hold, 5009 John Tyler Highway gives you the canvas. The lot's size and highway frontage open doors that a typical quarter-acre subdivision lot simply can't.

ALL OTHERS AREA 118 and the Williamsburg real estate market

John Tyler Highway (Route 5) is one of the most storied roads in Virginia, connecting Williamsburg to the James River plantation country that shaped American history. The ALL OTHERS AREA 118 designation covers a stretch of James City County where suburban convenience and open land still coexist — a combination that's increasingly hard to find. Williamsburg itself draws people for the long haul: the Colonial Williamsburg Historic Area, the College of William & Mary, and a steady economy anchored by tourism, defense, and education keep demand grounded year after year. If you've been searching for williamsburg va houses for sale and kept running into tight lots and HOA restrictions, this parcel offers a genuinely different path. The city's character is unhurried but never sleepy — farmers markets, craft breweries, and riverside trails all fit naturally into daily life here.

What's nearby

Daily errands are already sorted. Food Lion sits just 0.5 miles away, and La Tienda — a well-stocked specialty grocery — is a short 0.6-mile drive. For a quick bite, Chopsticks Pho & Grill, Top's China Restaurant, and Domino's Pizza are all within 0.4 miles. Morning coffee is covered by The Coffeehouse at 0.5 miles and 1607 Coffee Company at 0.6 miles. Fitness options are equally close — Anytime Fitness and Burn Boot Camp are both 0.4 miles out, with Results Performance Training just a bit farther at 0.6 miles. Geddy Park is a mile away for outdoor time.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Camp Peary is roughly 15 minutes away, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is about 20. For a service member using a VA loan, six acres this close to two installations — with no HOA governing what you build — is a genuinely uncommon find. BAH rates in the Williamsburg area have historically supported strong purchasing power, and land this size gives a military family room to grow into.

For buyers drawn to character

If cookie-cutter subdivisions have never felt right, six acres on one of Virginia's most historic corridors is worth a serious look. Route 5 is lined with centuries-old plantation estates, and 5009 John Tyler Highway sits in that same landscape. You get the freedom to design something that actually reflects how you want to live — whether that means a farmhouse, a workshop, gardens, or all of the above — on property in williamsburg va that carries real historical weight.
