1.34AC DEEP WATERFRONT lot with 6 Ft of water at low tide on the salt ponds (Long Creek), with direct access to the Chesapeake bay. Neighbors have piers and deep water vessels. Great opportunity to build your dream home on the water!
Salt Ponds, located between I-64 and the Back River, is a waterfront and residential Hampton neighborhood with tidal inlets and golf-course greens. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Salt Ponds Marina Resort corridor near Marina Road, where slips, boat ramps, and breezy patios set the pace. Low-slung condos and townhomes sit beside lagoons and walking paths, giving many blocks a resort-like layout. The adjacent Salt Ponds Golf Course frames daily routines with fairway views and cart paths. A short drive away, the American Theatre and the Virginia Air & Space Science Center add a cultural counterpoint to the shoreline setting.
