Property is priced to reflect the updates needed and is being sold as-is, including all buildings. The property features a pond, a dwelling and acreage. Ideal opportunity for investors or developers seeking future upside, potential tax advantages with the City of Chesapeake, or a private estate setting. Conveniently located just minutes from Grassfield High School, shopping, I-64, and easy access to Moyock, NC.
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.
