Why this home stands out
Nearly four acres in Gloucester is the kind of space that lets you breathe. Whether you're thinking raised garden beds, a detached workshop, room for animals, or simply a backyard that doesn't share a fence line with three neighbors, 6008 Gockley Lane delivers that breathing room alongside a well-proportioned 2,075-square-foot house with four bedrooms and two full baths — all built in 2006 when modern framing standards and updated mechanicals were already the baseline.
ALL OTHERS AREA 121 and the Gloucester real estate market
Gloucester, Virginia sits on the Middle Peninsula, wrapped by the York River to the south and the Piankatank to the north — a county that has always drawn people who want genuine land without giving up access to the broader Hampton Roads region. The area around Gockley Lane is rural residential in the best sense: paved roads, established neighbors, mature trees, and properties measured in acres rather than fractions of one. If you've been searching for farmettes for sale in virginia and keep landing on listings that are either too remote or too expensive, Gloucester's sweet spot is worth your attention. The county seat, Gloucester Courthouse, is a short drive away and carries real small-town character — a historic courthouse green, local shops, and a farmers market that reflects the agricultural identity of the surrounding land. Richmond is roughly 75 miles northwest, and the Hampton Roads metro is accessible via the Coleman Bridge over the York River, putting Williamsburg, Newport News, and the broader Peninsula within a reasonable commute.
What's nearby
Beaverdam Park is just 0.7 miles from the front door — a county-managed park with trails, a lake, kayak launch points, and open green space that functions as a genuine backyard extension for residents on this side of Gloucester. It's the kind of proximity that makes a rural address feel connected rather than isolated. Gloucester Courthouse village is a short drive for everyday errands, with grocery options, pharmacies, hardware, and local dining along the Route 17 corridor. The Coleman Bridge connects you to Yorktown and the broader Peninsula in under 30 minutes on most days.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Camp Peary is about 24 minutes from 6008 Gockley Lane, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown sits roughly 31 minutes out — both well within the range most military families target when using BAH to maximize what their housing allowance can do. A VA loan pairs naturally with a property like this: acreage, four bedrooms, and a 2006 build mean fewer surprises on inspection and more room for a growing household.
For families upgrading
Four bedrooms and nearly four acres means everyone gets space — the kids get room to roam outdoors, you get the garage or workshop footprint you've been putting off, and the house itself at 2,075 square feet gives you enough interior to stop feeling like you're on top of each other. Gloucester's rural character means your neighbors aren't in your yard, and Beaverdam Park a half-mile away handles the 'we need somewhere to go' afternoons without a long drive.
