Tucked away on more than three private acres is the kind of place you imagine when you picture escaping from it all. A long paved driveway welcomes you in, opening to an expansive stamped-concrete parking area and a charming custom-built home surrounded by woods, open fields, and room to simply breathe. Step inside and soaring 10-foot ceilings and an open, airy floor plan immediately make the home feel special. At the heart of it all is a large eat-in kitchen with a center island and breakfast bar—the kind of kitchen made for slow mornings, late-night conversations, and everything in between. A separate additional formal dining room offers the freedom to curate whatever space fits your life, whether that's a beautiful dining area, home office, private library overflowing with your favorite novels, or something entirely your own. There are two en-suite bedrooms, generously sized upstairs bedrooms filled with natural light, abundant storage, and a spacious primary suite with an oversized bathroom and walk-in closet. But outside is where this property truly begins to feel like its own little world. Wander onto the sprawling deck and look out over peaceful woods and open fields. Follow the property beyond the house and you'll find that this over three acre property line is FULLY FENCED behind the house. Fenced areas in both the front and back, ready for horses, stocked with coops, and multiple outbuildings waiting to become whatever you dream up. Bring the horses. Raise goats. Keep chickens and rabbits. Turn an outbuilding into a workshop, art studio, hobby space, or your own quiet hideaway. There are acres to explore, spaces to create, animals to care for, sunsets to watch, and enough privacy to make the rest of the world feel wonderfully far away. It feels like the countryside. It feels like an escape. It feels like your own little storybook world. And somehow, dining, shopping, and everyday conveniences are still just a short drive away. More than three acres. Endless possibilities. One truly magical place to call home.

About Butts
Road
Butts Road, located between I-64 and the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, is a suburban and semi-rural Chesapeake neighborhood with wide arterial corridors and pockets of wooded lowland. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Butts Station Road and Battlefield Boulevard corridor, where big-box retail, local eateries, and steady commuter traffic set the daily rhythm. Housing trends toward newer subdivisions and townhome communities set back from the main roads, with cul-de-sacs and retention ponds shaping the streetscape. Greenway edges and drainage canals hint at the area’s coastal-plain geography. For a cultural anchor, the nearby Chesapeake Arboretum and Chesapeake Planetarium add a quieter, civic-minded counterpoint to the commercial strips.
Welcome to your private 3-acre sanctuary, complete with outbuildings and fenced areas great for horses, pets, or hobbies. Property offers both seclusion & space, featuring a paved driveway & expansive stamped-concrete parking area. This custom-built home boasts 10-foot ceilings & an open concept floor plan designed for comfort & entertaining. Spacious family room with tray ceiling flows seamlessly into the eat-in kitchen, where you’ll enjoy wooded backyard views, center island & breakfast bar. For more formal occasions, or a home office, the dining room offers flexibility to fit your needs. Home includes two en-suite bedrooms, providing convenience & privacy, along with generously sized upstairs bedrooms filled with natural light. Outdoors, a sprawling deck invites you to relax or host gatherings in complete privacy. The fenced areas in both the front & back are ready for animals or can be reimagined to suit your lifestyle, all while backing to open fields for a truly peaceful setting.
