Why this home stands out
Five acres in Gloucester is genuinely hard to find at this scale. You're getting a 1989-built, four-bedroom home with over 3,700 square feet of living space — enough room for a dedicated home office, a guest suite, and still have space left over. The lot itself is the headline: private, wooded buffer, room for a detached garage, a garden, or simply the kind of quiet that a subdivision simply cannot offer.
ALL OTHERS AREA 120 and the Gloucester real estate market
Gloucester, Virginia sits on the Middle Peninsula between the York River to the south and the Piankatank River to the north, and it carries a character that's genuinely different from the dense suburbs of Hampton Roads. The county leans rural — think long driveways, mature hardwoods, and neighbors you actually know. O Neil Road falls within the broader unincorporated area of Gloucester County, where five-acre parcels are the norm rather than the exception. Gloucester Courthouse, the county seat, is a short drive away and offers a walkable historic district with local shops and dining. For buyers researching homes for sale near fort eustis, Gloucester's location along Route 17 makes the commute south across the Coleman Bridge to Yorktown and the Peninsula entirely workable — typically under 30 minutes depending on traffic. The county has no city income tax and operates under a straightforward county government structure, which residents tend to appreciate.
What's nearby
Two standout dining options sit less than a mile from the front door. The Inn at Warner Hall, a historic property just 0.6 miles away, offers a refined dining experience in a setting that feels genuinely special — the kind of place you'd bring out-of-town guests without a second thought. Austin's, also 0.6 miles out, rounds out the immediate options with a more casual neighborhood feel. Beyond the immediate vicinity, Gloucester's Route 17 corridor connects you to grocery stores, pharmacies, and everyday retail within a short drive. The Coleman Bridge puts Yorktown, Williamsburg, and the broader Peninsula within easy reach for weekend outings or commuting purposes.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Camp Peary is 16 minutes away and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is 17 minutes — both well within a practical daily commute from O Neil Road. Five acres means no shared walls, no HOA board meetings, and genuine privacy between deployments and duty days. If you're using a VA loan, Gloucester's land values and square footage tend to stretch that benefit further than comparable Peninsula zip codes.
For families upgrading
If your current home is running out of room, 3,741 square feet across four bedrooms and three and a half baths gives everyone space to spread out. The five-acre lot adds something most upgrades can't deliver: a backyard that's actually a yard — room for a trampoline, a fire pit, a vegetable garden, and a buffer of trees between you and the rest of the world.
