Three wooded acres. A saltwater pool. Five garage bays. Room for the boat, RV and workshop. And no HOA. 1741 Taft Road offers a combination that’s increasingly hard to find in Southern Chesapeake. The approx. 3,700-sq.-ft. home features 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and a welcoming wraparound porch. Inside, the kitchen is equipped with matte white Café appliances including a gas range, while the spacious living room centers around a wood-burning fireplace. Upstairs are 4 generously sized bedrooms, including a primary suite with 2 walk-in closets. A finished third floor adds 2 large bonus rooms, creating flexible space for a nursery, home office, gym, studio or private retreat. Outside, an approx. 32,000-gallon saltwater pool and composite deck anchor the backyard, with major pool components updated in 2025–26. A heated 2-car attached garage is joined by a 3-bay detached garage/workshop with propane heat plus mini-split heating and cooling. Covered paved storage accommodates a boat, camper or RV, with a pole barn and additional storage shed adding even more versatility. The acreage continues beyond the rear gate into the woods, where walking trails extend the ways to enjoy the property. Extensive paved parking and a private setting complete a property that offers breathing room without giving up convenient access to Chesapeake.
Pleasant Grove, located between Great Bridge and the North Carolina line, is a rural and residential Chesapeake neighborhood with working farmland and pine-wooded backroads. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Battlefield Blvd S and Pleasant Grove Rd crossroads, where feed stores, roadside produce stands, and small service shops set a practical, country cadence. Homes tend toward ranchers and newer builds on larger lots, with long driveways and wide skies. Two-lane roads and drainage canals trace the landscape, and evenings read quieter than the commercial corridors to the north. Outdoor time centers on nearby waterways and open fields rather than sidewalks.
This district is created primarily for the protection of the agricultural industry and rural section of the city from the invasion of urban and suburban uses and to preserve agricultural lands, forest lands and open space in the interest of the health, safety and welfare of the community. This district is not intended for major residential development; therefore, residential development and subdivisions for residential purposes in the A-1 agricultural district are prohibited except for minor subdivisions, as that term is defined in section 3-403 of this ordinance, preservation divisions, as that term is defined in section 10-201 of this ordinance, and conditional cluster developments approved in accordance with section 6-2200 et seq. of this ordinance.
