VaHome team overview

Our read on this home

At a glance

651 Colony Trail is a four-bedroom, 2.1-bath home in Lanexa, Virginia, offering over 4,000 square feet of living space on a quiet residential street in James City County — a rare amount of room for the price point in this part of the Peninsula.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Four thousand square feet built in 1983 means you're getting generous room proportions that newer construction rarely delivers at this scale — think wide hallways, oversized bedrooms, and living areas that actually feel lived-in rather than staged. The 1983 vintage also means the bones are solid: a mature build with decades of proven structural performance, sitting in a low-density Lanexa setting where neighbors aren't stacked on top of each other.

THE COLONIES and the Lanexa real estate market

Lanexa sits in the western reach of James City County, tucked between the Chickahominy River and the broader Colonial Virginia corridor. It's the kind of address that surprises people — rural enough to feel genuinely quiet, but positioned within easy reach of Williamsburg's full range of services, dining, and employment centers. Colony Trail itself runs through a low-traffic residential pocket where lot sizes are generous and the pace slows down the moment you turn off the main road. James City County is consistently recognized as one of the stronger jurisdictions in Hampton Roads and the greater Peninsula region for infrastructure investment and quality of life, and Lanexa benefits from that without carrying the density of Williamsburg proper. If you've been searching for elbow room on the Virginia Peninsula without sacrificing access to everyday conveniences, 651 Colony Trail in Lanexa, Virginia puts you squarely in that sweet spot.

What's nearby

Day-to-day life at 651 Colony Trail leans into the waterfront character of the area. Colonial Harbor Marina, less than a mile away, is a natural gathering point — whether you're grabbing a meal on the water or simply soaking in the riverside atmosphere. Williamsburg's grocery stores, pharmacies, and retail corridors are a short drive east on Route 60, and the broader Historic Triangle — including Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown — keeps weekends interesting without requiring a long haul. Interstate 64 access connects you north toward Richmond or east toward Newport News and Hampton Roads in under fifteen minutes.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Camp Peary is roughly 34 minutes from Colony Trail, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown checks in at about 43 minutes — both manageable for daily commutes. Eligible buyers can put a VA loan to work here, financing a 4,059-square-foot home with no down payment requirement. That's a meaningful amount of space for a growing military family that needs room for a home office, guests, or a dedicated play area.

For families upgrading

If your current home has you bumping into walls, 651 Colony Trail answers that problem directly. Four bedrooms and more than 4,000 square feet give every family member defined space — homework rooms, guest quarters, a proper primary suite — without the compromise of a tight floor plan. James City County's western corridor offers the breathing room that in-town neighborhoods simply can't match at this square footage.
