Why this home stands out
Properties with this combination of age and acreage are genuinely rare in Gloucester County. Built in 1905, 9239 Farys Mill Road carries more than a century of craftsmanship into a 1,950-square-foot layout with four bedrooms and two baths. The 2.89-acre lot gives you real breathing room — space for a garden, outbuildings, or simply the kind of privacy that newer subdivisions can't replicate. This is a property with a story, and room to write more of it.
ALL OTHERS AREA 120 and the Gloucester real estate market
Gloucester, Virginia sits on the Middle Peninsula between the York River and the Piankatank, and it has a personality all its own. The county blends working farmland, wooded lots, and small-town community in a way that feels genuinely unhurried. Farys Mill Road is part of that quieter, rural fabric — the kind of address where neighbors wave and the nearest sound at night is wind through the trees rather than traffic. The Gloucester Courthouse historic district is a short drive away, offering a farmers market, local shops, and a courthouse green that dates to the colonial era. For everyday needs, the Route 17 corridor provides grocery stores, pharmacies, and the full range of chain and local dining options. Gloucester is one of those places where people arrive planning to stay a few years and end up putting down roots for decades. The 9239 Farys Mill Road area in Gloucester, Virginia rewards that instinct — the land, the pace, and the community all pull in the same direction.

The park covers hundreds of acres of natural land with trails, water access, and wildlife habitat, making it an easy everyday escape rather than a weekend destination. Beyond the park, the Route 17 corridor to the north and south connects you to Gloucester Courthouse, Yorktown, and the broader Hampton Roads metro without requiring a long commute for routine errands.

For military families relocating
Camp Peary is about 25 minutes away, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown runs roughly 32 minutes — both manageable for daily commutes. A VA loan can make a historic property like this one more accessible than many buyers expect, and the acreage gives military families the space to spread out between deployments, host extended family, or simply decompress after demanding schedules.
