Why this home stands out
Twenty acres inside city limits is an uncommon thing. Lot C Buskey Road sits in the ALL OTHERS AREA 32 section of Chesapeake — a part of the city where large rural parcels still exist, giving buyers a genuine opportunity to design from scratch. Whether the vision is a custom home with a long private driveway, a hobby farm, a multi-generational compound, or simply a land investment with room to grow, the scale here opens doors that a standard residential lot simply cannot.
ALL OTHERS AREA 32 and the Chesapeake real estate market
Chesapeake is one of the largest cities by land area on the entire East Coast, and that geography shapes everything about daily life here. ALL OTHERS AREA 32 sits in the quieter, more rural fringe of the city — the part where you still find working farms, tree lines, and unpaved lanes tucked between the suburban corridors. It's a corner of Chesapeake that feels genuinely unhurried. If you've been scrolling through houses for sale chesapeake and wondering where the wide-open parcels went, this zip code is one of the last places to look. The 23322 zip code covers the southern and western reaches of Chesapeake, where the city gradually softens into the agricultural landscape of the Albemarle region. Residents here trade density for space, and most find that trade more than worthwhile. The broader city still delivers everything you need — shopping, healthcare, commuter routes — without the congestion that defines more urbanized Virginia Beach or Norfolk corridors.
What's nearby
Everyday conveniences are more accessible than the rural setting might suggest. The Greenbrier corridor along Interstate 64 is roughly 20 minutes north and carries a full roster of grocery anchors, big-box retail, and dining. The historic South Mills area and the North Carolina border are a short drive south, adding a regional flavor to weekend outings. Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge lies nearby to the west — a genuine wilderness destination for hiking, paddling, and wildlife watching. For routine errands, the Highway 17 commercial strip in the Deep Creek area covers most bases without a long haul.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is about 20 minutes away, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard sits roughly 29 minutes northeast. For military households using a VA loan to finance a build, raw land purchases work differently than improved property — your agent can walk you through construction-loan and VA one-time-close options. BAH rates in the Hampton Roads area are among the stronger in the region, which can help offset carrying costs while plans come together.
For families upgrading
If your family has outgrown a subdivision lot and you're ready to design a home around your life rather than the other way around, 20 acres gives you the canvas. Think a detached garage workshop, a barn, a pool set well back from the house, or simply a backyard that ends where the tree line begins. Chesapeake's 23322 zip code — with chesapeake homes for sale 23322 drawing steady interest — rarely surfaces parcels at this scale, which makes Lot C Buskey Road worth a serious look.
