Why this home stands out
What sets 9788 Woods Cross Road apart is the lot itself. At 0.77 acres, you get genuine outdoor space — room for a garden, a fire pit, a dog run, or simply a backyard that doesn't feel borrowed from your neighbors. The 1985 single-family footprint keeps things manageable at 1,568 square feet, so you're not maintaining more house than you need while still having four bedrooms to work with.
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, and it carries a distinctly unhurried character that sets it apart from the denser Hampton Roads cities across the water. The area around Woods Cross Road falls within Gloucester's broader rural residential fabric — larger lots, tree lines between neighbors, and a pace of life that feels intentional rather than accidental. Gloucester County is independent of any incorporated city, which means county governance and a tight-knit community identity. Courthouse Village, the county seat, is a short drive away and anchors local civic and commercial life. For commuters, Route 17 is the main artery connecting Gloucester to Yorktown, Williamsburg, and the broader Hampton Roads region via the Coleman Bridge. If the phrase "Gloucester VA homes with acreage" describes what you've been searching for, this stretch of the county is worth your attention.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are closer than the rural setting might suggest. Dollar General is just 0.3 miles away for quick household needs, and Dutton's Grocery — a local staple — is only 0.4 miles out. When you want something fresher, Farmers Daughter Produce is under a mile and worth the short drive for locally sourced goods. Sugar Mama's Tasty Treats, a neighborhood favorite for a sweet pick-me-up, is about a mile away. It's a small but practical cluster of conveniences that makes life on a quiet country road feel a lot less remote.

For military families relocating
Camp Peary is about 26 minutes from 9788 Woods Cross Road, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is roughly 35 minutes — both accessible via Route 17 without fighting heavy urban traffic.

Four bedrooms gives you flexibility whether you're housing a growing family or setting up a dedicated home office.
For first-time buyers
If you've been watching smaller properties and feeling cramped before you even move in, 9788 Woods Cross Road reframes the conversation. Four bedrooms and nearly an acre of land at a Gloucester address means you're buying room to grow — not just square footage. The 1985 build is established enough to have character but recent enough to work with, and the lot gives you outdoor projects to tackle at your own pace.
