816 Ship Point Rd, Yorktown, VA 23692

Why this home stands out

Two-and-a-half-plus acres in established Yorktown is genuinely hard to find. Most lots in this corridor were subdivided decades ago, so a parcel this size gives you real breathing room — space for a long driveway, a detached garage or workshop, mature tree buffers, and a home footprint that doesn't crowd its own yard. The Duck Blind Sandbar park sits less than a mile away, and the York River is part of the everyday backdrop here, not a weekend destination.

ALL OTHERS AREA 112 and the Yorktown real estate market

Ship Point Road runs through a quiet, semi-rural stretch of York County where wooded lots and waterfront properties share the same zip code. The feel is unhurried — neighbors wave, lots are generous, and the tree canopy stays thick enough to give every property a sense of privacy even when houses aren't far apart. Yorktown itself carries a weight of history that most American towns can only aspire to: the battlefield, the waterfront, the colonial streetscape along Main Street. But day-to-day life here is less about tourism and more about a genuinely livable small city with county-level governance, lower density than neighboring Virginia Beach or Hampton, and a strong sense of place. Families comparing homes for sale in 23692 often discover that York County delivers a quality-of-life combination — proximity to military installations, access to the water, and room to breathe — that's difficult to replicate anywhere else on the Peninsula.

What's nearby

The closest named landmark is Duck Blind Sandbar, a park just 0.6 miles from the property — an easy walk or a quick bike ride when you want to get outside without getting in a car. The broader Ship Point area sits near the confluence of Chisman Creek and the York River, so water access is woven into the neighborhood's character. Everyday errands pull you toward Route 17 and the commercial corridors in Grafton and Yorktown proper, where you'll find grocery stores, pharmacies, and restaurants within a short drive. The Colonial Parkway connects this part of York County to Williamsburg to the west and the Historic Triangle to the north, making weekend exploration genuinely effortless.
