Why this home stands out
Few homes in Gloucester County offer this combination of square footage and room count. At 4,297 square feet spread across three bedrooms and four full baths, there's genuine breathing room here — space for a home office, a dedicated guest suite, or a hobby room without anyone feeling crowded. The 2006 build year means you're working with modern bones: updated framing standards, contemporary mechanical systems, and layouts designed around how people actually live today.
RIVERWATCH and the Gloucester real estate market
Gloucester, Virginia sits along the western shore of the York River, and life here moves at a noticeably different rhythm than the dense urban core of Hampton Roads. The county seat, Gloucester Courthouse, anchors the area with a historic district that still functions as a genuine town center — independent shops, a farmers market, and a courthouse green that dates back centuries. Riverwatch Drive sits within this broader Gloucester community, where wooded lots and open land are the norm rather than the exception. Gloucester residents often describe trading traffic and noise for space and sky, and the tradeoff feels worth it. The county has grown steadily while preserving its rural character, and the result is a place that feels genuinely unhurried. If you're searching for Gloucester VA homes for sale with substantial square footage and room to spread out, this address delivers exactly that kind of scale in a setting that doesn't feel suburban-generic.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are straightforward from Riverwatch Drive. The Route 17 corridor through Gloucester brings grocery options, pharmacies, and national retailers within a short drive. For dining, the Gloucester Point area along the York River waterfront offers casual spots with water views, and the broader Route 17 strip fills in the gaps with familiar chains and local favorites. Yorktown, just across the Coleman Bridge, adds more dining and retail options along with the Riverwalk Landing area. Williamsburg's broader commercial district is roughly 30 minutes west, giving you access to a full regional shopping and dining scene when you want it.
