Why this home stands out
Nineteen fifty square feet of living space, four bedrooms, two baths, and 2.89 acres of land — all wrapped in a 1905 farmhouse that carries real architectural history. Properties with this combination of acreage, age, and livable square footage are rare in Gloucester County. You're getting a homestead-scale lot without sacrificing an easy drive to the Peninsula's major employers and bases.
ALL OTHERS AREA 120 and the Gloucester real estate market
Gloucester, Virginia sits along the western shore of the York River, and the area around Farys Mill Road reflects the county's enduring rural character — wide lots, mature trees, and neighbors who tend to stay for decades. This part of Gloucester falls within the broader ALL OTHERS AREA 120 designation, a stretch of the county where residential parcels blend into working land and woodland. The county seat of Gloucester Courthouse is a short drive away, offering a historic courthouse green, independent shops, and a small-town rhythm that feels deliberate rather than accidental. Gloucester is part of the Middle Peninsula, which means you're positioned between the Northern Neck and the Virginia Peninsula — close enough to Hampton Roads amenities, far enough to actually exhale. For families comparing Gloucester County homes, the scale and privacy here stand apart from anything closer to the water or the interstate.
What's nearby
Beaverdam Park is essentially in the backyard — the 606 Entrance sits just 0.9 miles away, and a second entrance is reachable at 1.0 mile. This Gloucester County park spans over 600 acres of reservoir land, with trails, water access, and the kind of quiet that makes a weekend feel restorative. Beyond the park, Gloucester Courthouse's Main Street district is a short drive for groceries, hardware, and local dining. The George P. Coleman Memorial Bridge connects Gloucester to Yorktown and the broader Peninsula in about 20 minutes, opening up the full range of shopping, medical, and commercial options across the York River.

If you're drawn to properties with a story — where the architecture is a feature, not a footnote — 9239 Farys Mill Road is worth a serious look.
