Why this home stands out
What sets 10104 Smiley Road apart is the combination of a brand-new build and genuine land. A full acre in this part of Gloucester County is increasingly hard to come by, and pairing that with 2023 construction means you're getting modern systems, current building codes, and no deferred maintenance — all wrapped in a rural-feeling setting that's still close to everyday conveniences.
ALL OTHERS AREA 120 and the Hayes real estate market
Hayes is a small, unincorporated community in Gloucester County, Virginia, sitting along the western shore of the York River. It has the feel of a place that hasn't been in a hurry to change — wide lots, mature trees, and neighbors who tend to know each other. The pace here is deliberately slower than the urban core of Hampton Roads, yet you're never truly far from what you need. Route 17 runs through the heart of Hayes and connects you north toward Gloucester Courthouse and south across the Coleman Bridge into Yorktown in under ten minutes. That bridge crossing opens up the entire Historic Triangle — Yorktown, Williamsburg, and the surrounding Peninsula — within a reasonable drive. Gloucester County itself is one of the few jurisdictions in the region that has managed to preserve a rural character without sacrificing access, and Hayes sits right at that balance point. For buyers searching for Hayes Virginia real estate, this address represents exactly what draws people to the area: space, newer construction, and a community that feels genuinely residential.
What's nearby
Daily life is easy to manage from Smiley Road. Gloucester's commercial corridor along Route 17 puts grocery stores, pharmacies, and local restaurants within a short drive north. The Coleman Bridge — one of the few double-swing-span bridges in the country — drops you into Yorktown in minutes, where you'll find waterfront dining, the Riverwalk Landing area, and the York River State Park for hiking and kayaking. Williamsburg's shopping, dining, and entertainment scene is roughly 30 minutes away. Camp Peary sits about 23 minutes out, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is a 19-minute drive — making this a practical home base for service members assigned to either installation.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is 19 minutes from the front door, and Camp Peary is about 23 minutes out — both well within a comfortable commute. A VA loan pairs naturally with a 2023-built home like this one, since newer construction typically sails through the VA appraisal process without the repair conditions that older homes sometimes trigger. The acre lot also gives a military family genuine outdoor space without the density of base-adjacent neighborhoods.
For first-time buyers
A 2023 build means you're starting with a home that has modern insulation, updated electrical, and current plumbing — none of the surprise repair bills that come with older properties. At 1,173 square feet across two bedrooms and two full baths, the layout is manageable without feeling cramped. The one-acre lot gives you room to grow into the property over time, whether that means a garden, a workshop, or simply space to breathe.
