Why this home stands out
Three-plus acres of private lot space in a city environment is the headline here. Homesite 2 of Kentland Parcel 21 gives you a freshly built 2026 home with modern systems and finishes, zero deferred maintenance, and a yard that actually has room to breathe. Whether you want space for a garden, outbuildings, or simply a buffer from the neighbors, this lot delivers in a way that most Chesapeake addresses simply cannot.
SANDERSON ESTATES and the Chesapeake real estate market
Sanderson Estates sits in the southern reaches of Chesapeake, Virginia — one of the most geographically expansive independent cities in the entire country. Life out here moves at a different pace. The streets are quiet, lots run large, and the natural landscape of the Great Dismal Swamp region gives the whole area a character you won't find in denser parts of Hampton Roads. If you've ever searched for directions along the lake drummond causeway chesapeake va corridor, you already have a feel for the rural-meets-suburban texture that defines this corner of the city. Chesapeake operates as an independent city under Virginia law, meaning it functions as its own jurisdiction — not part of any surrounding county. That distinction matters for taxes, services, and schools. Sanderson Estates benefits from that city infrastructure while still sitting far enough out to feel genuinely removed from the noise. It's a rare combination.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are handled along the Battlefield Boulevard corridor, where you'll find grocery anchors, pharmacies, and a solid lineup of casual dining and coffee options within a reasonable drive. Walmart Supercenter and Food Lion locations serve the southern Chesapeake area well. For outdoor recreation, Northwest River Park is one of the region's best-kept secrets — over 763 acres of trails, canoe launches, and campsites practically in your backyard. The Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge is also close, offering miles of hiking and wildlife observation for anyone who wants to step outside and actually go somewhere worth going.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is about 23 minutes away, and Dam Neck Annex runs roughly 32 minutes — both very workable for daily commutes. A VA loan can make financing a new-construction home like this more accessible than many buyers expect, and BAH rates for the Hampton Roads area are structured to reflect the region's housing market. Three acres and a 2026 build give a military family long-term stability without the repair surprises of older stock.
For families upgrading
If you're trading up from a smaller lot or a tighter neighborhood, 3.292 acres changes daily life in ways that are hard to overstate. Kids have genuine outdoor space. There's room for a future garage, workshop, or pool. The 2026 build means everything — roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical — is new, so your budget goes toward living rather than fixing. Sanderson Estates offers that upgrade without pushing you into a far-flung rural area that sacrifices convenience.
