Cheap Land in Virginia on Eastern Shore Peninsula
Virginia’s Eastern Shore peninsula divides the Chesapeake Bay from the Atlantic Ocean and is dotted with idyliic, quaint coastal towns. This property lies just south of Nassawadox and only one minute from Lankford Highway, the main north-south thoroughfare for the peninusula. You’re surrounded by beaches, coves, creeks, inlets, and islands here so if you love the water and seaside life, you found the right place.
- No Deed Restrictions or HOA
- Minutes to Fishing and Boat Ramps
- Direct Road Frontage
- Power Available
- Flat & Buildable – No Floodplain
- Priced about 27% Below Market
PROPERTY: This 1.62 acre generally square lot is moderately wooded and features 237 feet of direct frontage on Treherneville Road, a paved public road. There are no structures on site but power does run along the road frontage so, combined with the fact that there are no deed restrictions and it carries very loose zoning, you have a wide range of options for development, including a mobile home. The lot is very flat with no encroaching floodplain, so it’s one of the most easy-to-build lots in the area. The neighborhood is very lightly populated and very peaceful, as most of the development lies on the other side of the highway. You obviously wouldn’t move here just to sit at home though. Fishing and water recreation is all around you and the best beaches are nearby, on the west side of the peninsula. The white sand beaches of Savage Neck Dunes State Park, for example, are just 15 minutes away. With all these wonderful natural surroundings, you might feel like a million miles from civilization but Walmart and other mainstream retail outlets are offered by the town of Onley, 25 minutes to the north. When you want to kick it up a couple notches, Virigina Beach and Norfolk await you after a one hour drive spent crossing the iconic Chesapeake Bay Bridge.

FOR SALE BY OWNER: We are investors, and are selling this lot For-Sale-By-Owner. You do not need to submit your offer through a real estate agent, and in our experience we close transactions more quickly and easily by having our dedicated transaction coordinator work directly with the Title Company and Buyers. We will also both save money on commission/fees by cutting out agents as the middle men. However, if you feel strongly about working with a Realtor, then you’re welcome to have them contact us on your behalf.
OWNER FINANCING: We do not offer owner-financing but you could get a loan through a bank or another lender and we’d be happy to coordinate with them.
OUTSIDE FINANCING: Your best deal for financing will come from a local bank or credit union and we can help you find a great deal. Land loans typically require about 15-25% down.
WHY ARE YOU SELLING IT SO CHEAP? We are often asked why we price our properties at below market value, and the answer is really simple: because we can, and that’s our core business model. We are investors who purchase properties at a large volume and deeply liquidated rates, and by passing this discount on to our buyers, we can sell land quickly . . . and more of it! In fact, our average property only lasts 2-3 weeks on the market (vs. industry average of about 6 months).
DISCLAIMER: We attempt to provide detailed, accurate and up-to-date information in our listings, in order to help our buyers to the best of our ability. However, it ultimately remains the buyer’s responsibility to perform their own due diligence and double check any details that are of significant importance to you including acreage, utilities, build-ability, and approved/allowable use-age for the property. We are happy to help however we can.
