Why this home stands out
What sets 9016 Marlfield Road apart is the land. At 1.88 acres, you're not sharing a fence line with a neighbor six feet away — you've got room to breathe, garden, park a trailer, or simply enjoy a backyard that feels like yours. The 2010 build means you're starting with modern construction bones, and Gloucester's lower cost of living adds real everyday value without pushing you far from the region's major employers and bases.
ALL OTHERS AREA 121 and the Gloucester real estate market
Gloucester, Virginia sits on the Middle Peninsula, tucked between the York River to the south and the Piankatank River to the north. It's a county that moves at its own pace — agricultural roots, waterfront character, and a genuine small-town feel that residents tend to hold onto. The Gloucester Courthouse area anchors the county seat with local shops, a farmers market, and historic architecture that gives the whole place a grounded, unhurried identity. Marlfield Road sits in the broader rural residential fabric of Gloucester County, where acreage lots are the norm and neighbors tend to give each other space. If you've been searching for Gloucester VA homes with land and privacy without sacrificing reasonable access to the Peninsula, this address delivers on both counts. The drive into the more commercial stretches of Gloucester or across the Coleman Bridge into Yorktown is straightforward, and the trade-off for that commute is a lifestyle that's noticeably quieter and more spacious than anything closer to the urban core.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are manageable from Marlfield Road. The Gloucester Courthouse corridor puts grocery options, pharmacies, and local dining within a reasonable drive. Wal-Mart Supercenter on George Washington Memorial Highway handles most household needs in one stop. For a sit-down meal, River's Inn and Seawell's Ordinary are local favorites that reflect Gloucester's waterfront and colonial character. Beaverdam Park offers trails, a reservoir, and outdoor recreation just a short drive away. The Coleman Bridge connects you quickly to Yorktown, where the Riverwalk Landing area adds more dining and shopping options along the York River.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Camp Peary is about 23 minutes from the front door, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown sits roughly 32 minutes out — both well within a reasonable commute for most duty assignments. Gloucester's acreage lots and lower property costs make it a practical fit for families using a VA loan who want more space than a subdivision lot typically offers. The Coleman Bridge route keeps the Peninsula accessible without the congestion of living closer to base.
For first-time buyers
If you've been weighing your options and wondering whether a first home can actually come with nearly 2 acres of land, 9016 Marlfield Road is worth a close look. The 2010 construction means fewer immediate maintenance surprises, and Gloucester's property values tend to be more approachable than comparable Peninsula addresses. You get a three-bedroom layout, two full baths, and genuine outdoor space — a combination that's harder to find at this scale elsewhere in the region.
