Why this home stands out
Fifty acres. Eight bedrooms. More than 8,600 square feet of living space. Properties at this scale simply don't surface often in coastal Virginia, and Mathews County makes it even more uncommon — you're getting genuine rural privacy without giving up reasonable access to the broader Hampton Roads region. Whether you need room for a multi-generational household, a working property, or simply space to breathe, 985 Kingston Lane delivers on a scale most addresses can't match.
MATHEWS and the North real estate market
Mathews County is one of those places that feels like a well-kept secret — a quiet, water-laced peninsula tucked between the Chesapeake Bay and the Piankatank and Mobjack Bay systems. The county seat of Mathews sits just a few miles away, offering a small-town core with local shops, a library, and community gathering spots that reflect the area's deep maritime heritage. Life here moves at a pace you choose, with tidal creeks, working waterfronts, and long stretches of open land defining the character of the place. Residents who've relocated from busier corridors — including those searching for homes near nas oceana or the broader Hampton Roads metro — often cite Mathews as the place where they finally found the acreage and quiet they were looking for without fully leaving the region. The county is part of the Middle Peninsula, and while it sits outside the dense military-base ring, it connects to the wider Virginia Peninsula and Tidewater area via Route 14 and Route 17, keeping you linked to everything you need.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands and essentials are handled in Mathews Court House, just a short drive from Kingston Lane, where you'll find grocery options, hardware, and local services. Gloucester Court House, roughly 20 minutes away, adds a broader retail layer including pharmacies, larger grocery stores, and dining. For a full urban amenity run, Williamsburg and the broader York County corridor are within 45 minutes, bringing major retailers, medical centers, and a wide restaurant scene into reach. Outdoor recreation is woven into the fabric of Mathews — water access, kayaking, fishing, and cycling along quiet county roads are practically at your doorstep across 50 acres of land.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is about 33 minutes from 985 Kingston Lane, and Camp Peary sits roughly 29 minutes out — both well within a reasonable commute window. For a military household that needs space for a large or multi-generational family, the 50-acre footprint and eight bedrooms here are genuinely exceptional. A VA loan can make a property at this scale more accessible than many buyers expect.
For families upgrading
If your current home stopped fitting your family a few years ago, 985 Kingston Lane is the kind of address that solves the problem for good. Eight bedrooms and more than 8,600 square feet means everyone has room — for guests, for work-from-home setups, for hobbies that need real space. Add 50 acres of land and you've built a home base that can grow with your family for decades.
