Why this home stands out
Twenty-seven acres is genuinely rare inside city limits. Most buyers searching for acreage in this region settle for two or three lots stitched together; Lot D Buskey Road hands you a contiguous, single-deed block of land large enough for a private homestead, an agricultural operation, a multi-structure compound, or a long-term land investment — all without leaving Chesapeake.
ALL OTHERS AREA 32 and the Chesapeake real estate market
Lot D Buskey Road sits within the broad rural and semi-rural corridor that Chesapeake designates as ALL OTHERS AREA 32 — a catch-all zone covering the city's lower-density reaches where large parcels, working farms, and wooded tracts still define the landscape. People who end up here usually came looking for exactly that: space, quiet, and room to breathe. Chesapeake is Virginia's second-largest city by land area, and that scale is precisely why pockets like this still exist. The city government — sometimes searched as chesapeake county va by newcomers unfamiliar with Virginia's independent-city structure — manages zoning, utilities, and rural road maintenance directly, with no county layer in between. That streamlined jurisdiction can simplify permitting conversations for buyers with development or agricultural plans. The broader Chesapeake identity blends suburban convenience along major corridors with genuinely rural stretches just minutes away, and Buskey Road lives firmly in the latter category.
What's nearby
The Buskey Road area sits in Chesapeake's southern reaches, where daily errands require a short drive but the payoff is the land itself. Grocery options, fuel, and pharmacy services are accessible along the Battlefield Boulevard and Cedar Road corridors to the north and east. The Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge lies to the west, offering hiking and wildlife observation on a massive scale. The Northwest River Park, one of Chesapeake's most beloved outdoor destinations, is within easy reach for paddling, camping, and trail use. Interstate 168 and US-17 connect the area to the broader Hampton Roads metro without a long commute.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
If you're stationed at USCG Finance Center Chesapeake or Norfolk Naval Shipyard, a large rural parcel this close to both installations is worth a serious look. A VA loan can finance land with a construction component, meaning you could use your earned benefit to build a custom home on acreage — and lock in a private, permanent base of operations through multiple duty cycles.
For buyers drawn to character
For buyers who've spent years searching a chesapeake city va property search for something genuinely different — not another subdivision lot, not a quarter-acre backyard — 27 acres on Buskey Road is the answer. You can design the property from scratch: the setbacks, the outbuildings, the tree lines, the gardens. Nothing here is pre-decided for you.
