Why this home stands out
At 4,297 square feet, this 2006-built home delivers a scale that's genuinely rare in Gloucester's residential market — four full bathrooms across three bedrooms means every occupant has real privacy, and the extra square footage translates into flexible living space that adapts as life changes. The Middle Peninsula setting adds acreage-class breathing room while keeping the York River corridor and its scenic drives within easy reach.
RIVERWATCH and the Gloucester real estate market
Gloucester, Virginia sits on the Middle Peninsula between the York River and the Piankatank River, and daily life here has a rhythm that's hard to replicate closer to the urban core. The county seat, Gloucester Courthouse, anchors the community with a historic district that dates to the colonial era — brick courthouse buildings, mature trees, and a walkable village green that still hosts farmers' markets and local events. Riverwatch Drive itself carries the quiet, established character that defines residential Gloucester: wide lots, mature landscaping, and neighbors who tend to stay for years. You're far enough from the interstate sprawl to feel genuinely removed, yet the Coleman Bridge puts you across the York River and into Yorktown in minutes. Williamsburg is a straightforward drive west, and the broader Hampton Roads metro is accessible without the density that comes with living inside it. For buyers comparing Gloucester homes for sale, the combination of square footage, privacy, and Middle Peninsula lifestyle is a compelling case.
What's nearby
Gloucester Courthouse Village is your closest hub for everyday needs — local dining, hardware, pharmacy, and the Gloucester Library are all within a short drive. The Coleman Bridge connects you to Yorktown and its Colonial National Historical Park, a destination that never gets old for residents or visiting family. Gloucester Point Beach Park offers waterfront access on the York River, and the Point's boat ramps make weekend time on the water genuinely convenient. Williamsburg Premium Outlets and the broader Williamsburg retail corridor are roughly 30 minutes west. For a quieter outing, the Dragon Run trail system and the Middle Peninsula's network of rural roads reward cyclists and hikers alike.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is approximately 41 minutes from Riverwatch Drive, and Camp Peary sits about 35 minutes away — both manageable commutes from a home this size. A VA loan can make financing a 4,297-square-foot property more accessible than many buyers expect, and Gloucester's lower cost of living stretches a housing allowance further than comparable square footage closer to base.
For families upgrading
If your current home has started to feel tight, 4,297 square feet across three bedrooms and four full baths is the kind of layout that genuinely solves the problem. Everyone gets a bathroom, common areas have room to expand, and there's still space left over for a home office, a playroom, or a dedicated guest suite — without the compromises that come with squeezing into something smaller.
