Our read on this home

Why this home stands out

Eighteen and a half acres in Gloucester County is genuinely hard to come by. This parcel gives you the kind of breathing room that lets you design from scratch — whether that means a custom home with a long private driveway, agricultural use, a hobby farm, or simply land held as a long-term asset. The county's low-density zoning and rural feel make parcels this size increasingly uncommon.

ALL OTHERS AREA 121 and the Gloucester real estate market

Gloucester, Virginia sits on the Middle Peninsula between the York River and the Piankatank River, and it carries a distinctly unhurried, small-town character that draws people who want space without sacrificing access to the broader Hampton Roads region. The county seat, Gloucester Courthouse, anchors a historic district with a village green, independent shops, and a farmers market that reflects the agricultural roots running deep here. Runninghorse Lane falls within the broader rural fabric of Gloucester — the kind of address where acreage is the norm and neighbors aren't on top of each other. If you've been searching for land with real scale in this part of Virginia, this parcel delivers exactly that. Note: the primary keyword "avon by the sea homes for sale" does not apply naturally to this land parcel in Gloucester and has been flagged null rather than forced into the text.

What's nearby

Day-to-day conveniences are within easy reach despite the rural setting. Krispy Krunchy Chicken is just about a mile away — a quick stop when you don't feel like cooking. Gloucester Courthouse Village, roughly ten minutes out, covers the essentials: grocery options, pharmacies, hardware stores, and local dining. The George P. Coleman Memorial Bridge connects Gloucester to Yorktown and the broader Peninsula in under twenty minutes, opening up a much wider range of shopping, dining, and services without requiring a long commute.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Camp Peary is about 27 minutes from Runninghorse Lane, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown sits roughly 36 minutes out. For a military household looking to put down roots on acreage — rather than a subdivision lot — this parcel offers the scale to build exactly what you want. A VA loan can be used for land-and-construction financing, and BAH rates in this region make the math worth running.

For buyers drawn to character

If your vision involves a custom home on a private lane, a working farm, horses, or simply land that feels like yours in every direction, 18.5 acres in Gloucester is a canvas worth serious attention. Parcels this size in a county this close to Hampton Roads don't surface often, and the rural zoning environment here supports a wide range of intended uses.
