Why this home stands out
Raw acreage of this size is genuinely uncommon inside Virginia Beach city limits. At roughly 56 acres, this Taylor Farm tract gives you room to think big — agricultural use, equestrian property, a family compound, or a large custom build set far back from the road. The land sits in a part of the city where suburban density hasn't fully arrived yet, which means you're buying both ground and breathing room.
ALL OTHERS AREA 44 and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Taylor Farm sits within the ALL OTHERS AREA 44 designation — a broad swath of Virginia Beach that covers the city's more rural and semi-rural southern and western reaches, where larger parcels, open fields, and working farms still define the landscape. This isn't the boardwalk or the resort strip; it's the quieter, land-rich side of a city most people only associate with oceanfront living. Virginia Beach is the most populous city in Virginia, and as anyone browsing homes for sale in va beach quickly notices, large undeveloped tracts inside city limits are increasingly rare. The city's agricultural reserve program has preserved much of this corridor intentionally, which means the rural character you see today has real staying power. You're still within the City of Virginia Beach jurisdiction, with access to city utilities infrastructure and services, while enjoying a pace and scale that feels genuinely removed from the urban core.
What's nearby
The immediate area around Taylor Farm is greener than you might expect for a city address. Holland Woods Park is just half a mile away, Buyrn Farm Park sits at 0.7 miles, and Hunter's Run Park is within a mile — so outdoor access is built right into daily life here. For fitness, The Iron Asylum Gym - Castleton and Grappler's Garage are both under a mile away, which is a pleasant surprise given the rural surroundings. Everyday errands and dining require a short drive into the broader Virginia Beach corridor, but the trade-off is land, privacy, and proximity to two major installations.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
NAS Oceana is roughly 8 minutes away and Dam Neck Annex about 9 — both an easy commute from this property. For a military family using a VA loan to purchase land with plans to build, or simply looking to hold acreage close to two installations, this location checks a lot of boxes. BAH rates in Virginia Beach support the area well for those weighing a long-term land purchase.
For buyers drawn to character
If your vision involves horses, a market garden, a private shooting range, or simply a home where the nearest neighbor isn't visible from your porch, 56 acres in Virginia Beach is the kind of find that doesn't come along often. This is land with genuine character — open, quiet, and large enough to shape entirely on your own terms.
