Great and rare opportunity in the southern countryside of Chesapeake. 42.4 acres with about 28 acres cleared and ready for your custom home in a quiet country atmosphere. This property is great for that custom home you have been waiting to build. It would also make a nice horse farm or the family compound you have been dreaming of. To the rear is 14 acres of tall timber and borders 1,000 acres of the Nature Conservancy. Cornland Park, a municipal property, is the neighbor to the west with beautiful tall timber also. Sit on your back porch and watch the wildlife. Road front of this property is zoned R-15s which may present opportunity for an additional building lot and also the possibility for "cluster" development as well. 339 feet of total road frontage. Grassfield and Owens school districts. Only minutes from schools, shopping, restaurants, banks, and a Hospital. Convenient to all of Hampton Roads.

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.
