Eagle Pointe at Cahoon Plantation

Eagle Pointe at Cahoon Plantation is a gated 55+ active adult community of 501 homes in Chesapeake, Virginia, developed by Eagle Construction of Virginia starting in 2005 — and new construction is still ongoing today. Only one owner in each household needs to be 55 or older, making it welcoming for couples where one spouse is younger and for adult children visiting from college or out of town. The community sits along The Isles Golf Links at Cahoon Plantation, a gently rolling 18-hole links-style course inspired by the great golf courses of the British Isles. The award-winning course wraps through the neighborhood, giving many homes fairway, water, or wooded views. Lots average about 0.15 acres — enough space to feel like your own, small enough that you're not a slave to the yard. The heart of the community is the 10,000 sq ft Bay Club, a true resort-style clubhouse. Inside you'll find a heated indoor pool and hot tub, large fitness center, billiards room, library, multiple game rooms, a grand celebration room, a catering kitchen, a demonstration kitchen, art/craft space, and locker rooms. Outside, a lap pool, gazebo park, and garden offer space to swim, stroll, or host gatherings. The Bay Club is available for residents to book for private parties, and it's the hub where a full-time activities director runs a steady calendar of events — lectures, workshops, wine nights, group trips to MacArthur Center in Norfolk, Broadway tours at the Kennedy Center, fishing outings on Chesapeake Bay. Homes come in five broad series — Carriages II, Cottages, Verandas II, Vistas, and Villas — spanning single-family, attached villas, and condominiums, with more than 25 floor plans ranging from 1,602 to 2,994 sq ft. Every plan features a first-floor primary suite with walk-in closet, and most include cathedral ceilings, sunrooms, lofts, gas fireplaces, and walk-in attic storage. The two-story villas add gourmet kitchens, hardwood foyers, and nine-foot first-floor ceilings. Social life is organized but not over-scheduled. Clubs spin up around shared interests — bridge, euchre, book club, wine club, travel club, yoga, photography, computers — and there's room to start your own. Residents describe a community where neighbors look out for each other and the pace is warm rather than frantic. Location is a big part of the pitch. Eagle Pointe is tucked into southern Chesapeake near the North Carolina line, less than five minutes to I-64/I-464/I-664, with Virginia Beach oceanfront about 25 minutes east, downtown Norfolk about 20 minutes north, and historic Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Jamestown about an hour up the peninsula. Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge is a short drive south for paddlers and birders. It's also a practical choice for military-connected retirees, with NAS Oceana, Norfolk Naval Shipyard, and the Coast Guard Finance Center all within easy reach. The HOA is volunteer-led and includes gated entry, management, lawn maintenance, trash, and common-area upkeep — reasonable dues given the amenity package.
