Why this home stands out

This 1987 ranch sits on its own lot with room to breathe. You get three bedrooms and two full baths plus a half bath—enough space without excess. The floor plan is efficient and livable. No HOA fees to worry about. The location puts you close to both Camp Peary and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown, making it accessible for anyone with a regular commute to either base.

ALL OTHERS AREA 121 and the Gloucester real estate market

Ark Road is a quiet rural stretch in Gloucester County, Virginia. Homes here sit on larger lots, and the pace is slower than you'll find in town. You're surrounded by open space and the kind of neighborhood character that appeals to people seeking homes for sale in Gloucester who want distance from dense development. Gloucester itself is a historic county seat with deep roots on the Virginia Peninsula. Daily errands—groceries, gas, dining—cluster along Main Street and Route 17. The York River bounds the county to the north, and water access is part of the regional identity. Getting around is straightforward: Route 17 runs north-south and connects you to Williamsburg, Newport News, and the military installations. The drive to Camp Peary is about 16 minutes; Naval Weapons Station Yorktown sits roughly 25 minutes away.

What's nearby

Route 17 is your main artery for shops and services. Gloucester Courthouse sits about 8 miles north and anchors the county's civic and commercial core. The York River offers public boat ramps and water recreation if you fish or kayak. Williamsburg is a 20-minute drive and brings colonial history, dining, and entertainment within reach. Nearby parks and county recreation areas give you outdoor options without a long trip. The general store and local restaurants keep the rural character intact while meeting everyday needs.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Sixteen minutes to Camp Peary and 25 minutes to Naval Weapons Station Yorktown make this location practical for active-duty and civilian personnel. VA loan financing is common in this area and well-supported by local lenders. The property requires no major repairs, so you can move in without delay. Three bedrooms and a straightforward layout mean you can settle quickly.

Room to grow

Three bedrooms give you room for a home office, guest space, or growing needs. The 1,382 square feet spread across a logical floor plan means no wasted hallways. A separate lot with no HOA restrictions lets you add a shed, garden, or outdoor project space. The foundation is solid, so you're buying stability, not a renovation project.
