Why this home stands out
Fifty acres of land surrounding a home with eight bedrooms and nearly 9,000 square feet of living space is genuinely uncommon anywhere in Virginia, let alone this close to the Chesapeake Bay corridor. Whether you're envisioning a multi-generational compound, a private retreat, an equestrian property, or simply room to breathe on a scale most people only dream about, 985 Kingston Lane delivers a canvas that is extraordinarily hard to replicate.
MATHEWS and the North real estate market
Mathews County is one of those places that people discover once and quietly never stop thinking about. Tucked into a peninsula between the Chesapeake Bay and the Piankatank River, it's a county defined by water, wide skies, and a pace of life that feels genuinely unhurried. The community of North sits in the heart of this landscape — rural in character but surprisingly connected, with the county seat of Mathews Court House just a short drive away. Life here means morning fog over tidal creeks, neighbors who wave, and a deep sense of place that newer suburban developments simply can't manufacture. While buyers searching for homes near jeb little creek often focus on Virginia Beach or Hampton Roads proper, Mathews County offers something different: acreage, authenticity, and access to the Bay in a package that feels more like a discovery than a compromise. Kingston Lane itself is a quiet country road, and 985 sits with room to spare in every direction.
What's nearby
Mathews Court House, the county seat, is just a few minutes away and home to local dining, a farmers market, and everyday conveniences. For larger grocery runs and retail, Gloucester Court House is roughly 25 minutes north and offers a full range of stores and services. The town of Deltaville, a well-known boating and sailing hub, is close enough for weekend afternoons on the water. Williamsburg — with its restaurants, Colonial history, and regional medical facilities — is under an hour away. The Middle Peninsula's network of boat ramps, fishing piers, and waterfront parks puts outdoor recreation essentially at your doorstep.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Camp Peary is about 29 minutes from 985 Kingston Lane, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is roughly 33 minutes out — both manageable commutes for a property of this scale. If you're weighing your VA loan benefit against what your BAH can support in this region, Mathews County's price-per-acre reality is worth a serious look. Fifty acres and eight bedrooms is a rare find at any distance from base.
For families upgrading
If your family has outgrown every house you've looked at, 985 Kingston Lane reframes the conversation entirely. Eight bedrooms and six full baths across 8,665 square feet means everyone gets space — dedicated guest rooms, home office setups, playrooms, and still room left over. Add 50 acres outside and the question stops being whether the house is big enough and starts being how you want to use all of it.
