Lot 14 Taft Rd, Chesapeake, VA 23322

Why this home stands out

One hundred acres in southern Chesapeake is not a number you see often. This parcel in Pleasant Grove sits in one of the region's last pockets of large-lot, low-density land — far enough from the noise to feel like true countryside, yet close enough to I-664 and the Chesapeake core to stay practical. If open sky, room for outbuildings, and the freedom to design from the ground up matter to you, this is the kind of property that earns a second look.

PLEASANT GROVE and the Chesapeake real estate market

Pleasant Grove occupies the quieter, more rural southern tier of Chesapeake — a city that consistently ranks among the most livable in Virginia precisely because it has managed to hold onto this kind of breathing room. The surrounding landscape is a mix of working farms, wooded tracts, and low-density residential roads where neighbors are measured in acres rather than feet. Chesapeake itself is Virginia's second-largest city by land area, which means the infrastructure — roads, utilities, services — is mature and well-funded even in its more rural corridors. Families comparing homes for sale in Chesapeake often discover that the southern zip codes offer a quality of life that denser markets simply can't replicate. The 23322 zip code in particular draws buyers who want elbow room without sacrificing access to a full-service city.

What's nearby

Daily life outside the property is straightforward. Grassfield Crossing and the retail corridor along Battlefield Boulevard South put groceries, pharmacies, and casual dining within a reasonable drive. The Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge is a short trip south — hundreds of thousands of acres of trails, paddling routes, and wildlife habitat that make weekends genuinely interesting. Chesapeake City Park offers athletic fields, a dog park, and open green space closer to the city center. For commuters, I-664 provides a direct northern corridor, putting Norfolk Naval Shipyard reachable in roughly 30 minutes and the USCG Finance Center Chesapeake about 20 minutes away.
