Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

This 2001-built home sits on its own stretch of Potato Neck Road, offering privacy without isolation. The three-bedroom, three-bath layout gives you flexibility for a home office, guest space, or hobby room. Rural setting means land and breathing room—a different pace from typical subdivisions. You're close enough to town for convenience but far enough out to feel genuinely removed.

ALL OTHERS AREA 126 and the Port Haywood real estate market

Port Haywood is a small, quiet community in Gloucester County on the Middle Peninsula. The area is defined by rural character, open land, and a slower pace of life. Homes here tend to sit on larger lots, with tree-lined roads and minimal through traffic. You'll find a mix of established residences and newer builds, all with that country-living feel. Gloucester County itself is a blend of waterfront heritage and working farmland. Getting around means driving—there's no public transit—but you're positioned well for trips to Williamsburg, Newport News, and the broader Hampton Roads region. Daily life centers on local shops, restaurants, and the natural beauty of the Peninsula.

What's nearby

Port Haywood has a general store and a few local dining spots within a few minutes' drive. Gloucester Point, just south, offers waterfront access and a small commercial district. Williamsburg is about 20 minutes away for shopping, dining, and historic sites. Newport News and Hampton are roughly 30–35 minutes out, giving you access to larger retail and services. The York River and its public boat launches are nearby for anyone interested in water recreation.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

About 36 minutes to Naval Weapons Station Yorktown; Camp Peary is roughly 38 minutes away. VA loan financing works well in this area.

Room to grow
