Why this home stands out
Kentland Homesite 6 is a rare opportunity to own new construction on a generous 3.4-acre lot in one of Virginia Beach's most quietly appealing rural corridors. Most new builds in the region come with postage-stamp yards and HOA restrictions on every side. Here, you get fresh finishes, a 2026 build date, and real land — the kind where a detached workshop, a garden, or simply a long, unhurried evening on the back porch is entirely within reach.
BLACKWATER and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Blackwater sits in the far southwestern reach of Virginia Beach, a city whose western edge surprises people who only know the oceanfront. Out here, the landscape opens up into farmland, timber, and wide sky — a world away from the resort strip, yet still inside city limits. If you've been searching homes for sale virginia beach va and kept filtering for acreage, Blackwater is the answer that keeps coming up. The neighborhood draws buyers who want genuine space without sacrificing the infrastructure of a major city. Virginia Beach is the most populous city in the Commonwealth, which means solid roads, city water and sewer options in many areas, and services that rural counties simply can't match. Blackwater Road itself is a quiet corridor where properties are measured in acres rather than square feet of yard, and neighbors tend to know each other by name. It's a slower pace, deliberately chosen.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are handled in nearby Chesapeake and the Holland Road corridor, both reachable in under 20 minutes. The Blackwater area puts you close to the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, a remarkable natural resource for hiking, kayaking, and wildlife watching. Windsor Castle Park in Smithfield is a short drive for waterfront trails and open-air events. For larger grocery runs, dining, and retail, the Kempsville and Greenbrier areas of Chesapeake offer plenty of options. Virginia Beach's Oceanfront and Town Center are roughly 45 minutes east — close enough for a dinner out, far enough that the weekend crowds stay there.
