Governor's Land Homes for Sale in Williamsburg, VA
Governor's Land at Two Rivers is a gated, member-owned country club community. It spreads across roughly 1,400 acres of James City County.

The club's Tom Fazio championship golf course has twice ranked among the top courses in Virginia. Golf Digest gave those rankings. There is also a protected deep-water marina and a waterfront clubhouse. Homes here are custom-built estates in Federal, Colonial, Georgian, and Cape Cod styles. Many are two-story brick.

Living in Governor's Land
Daily life at Governor's Land centers on the water and Two Rivers Country Club. The Tom Fazio course winds along the riverbanks. A protected deep-water marina holds larger boats. From there you can cruise out to the James and Chickahominy Rivers. Kayak launches and water-access trails put the rivers within easy reach. Beyond golf and boating, the club has two outdoor pools and tennis and pickleball courts. There is a fitness center too. The waterfront clubhouse offers both fine and casual dining. There is also a calendar of social clubs and events. Miles of walking and biking trails thread through the nature preserve and protected wetlands. The Virginia Capital Trail sits just outside the neighborhood. It is good for longer rides toward Jamestown and Richmond. Restaurants, shops, and daily errands in Williamsburg are about seven miles away. Colonial Williamsburg, the College of William & Mary, and Historic Jamestown are all a short drive off. The wider Hampton Roads region is reached via Route 5, or John Tyler Highway, and Route 199. Those connect to I-64 and Route 60.
Governor's Land was developed starting in the early 1990s by Dominion Resources. It is now largely built out. So the housing stock is mostly settled custom estate homes rather than new builds. Now and then, large unbuilt or river-frontage lots still come up for resale. Architecture leans toward classic brick Federal, Colonial, Georgian, and Cape Cod designs. Homes range from roughly 2,500 to 7,000 square feet. Lots run from about a third of an acre to a full acre. One-story and first-floor primary-suite plans appear alongside the more common two-story layouts. Interest here is shaped by the marina and the Tom Fazio golf course. The gated and staffed entrance adds to it. So do the wealth of preserved green space and the river access. The short trip to Colonial Williamsburg and William & Mary helps too. This place is finite in size. So the number of homes for sale tends to be limited at any time. That keeps the market here distinct from the wider Williamsburg area. A live stats panel on this page shows current pricing and inventory.
