Our read on this home

by Tom & Dariya Milan, REALTORS® · LPT Realty

At a glance

Set on Potato Neck Road in the quiet waterside community of Port Haywood, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath home delivers 1,701 square feet of comfortable living built in 2001 — a genuine escape from the city pace, with Naval Weapons Station Yorktown reachable in about 36 minutes.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Port Haywood sits on the Mathews County peninsula where the North River meets the Chesapeake Bay, and Potato Neck Road is one of those addresses that feels genuinely removed from the ordinary. The 2001 construction means you get a thoughtful floor plan with three full baths — a rarity at this bedroom count — while the rural waterside setting gives the property a character that newer subdivisions simply cannot replicate.

ALL OTHERS AREA 126 and the Port Haywood real estate market

Port Haywood is a small, unincorporated community tucked into Mathews County on Virginia's Middle Peninsula, where tidal creeks, working waterfronts, and long stretches of quiet road define everyday life. The pace here is deliberate — neighbors tend to know each other, boats outnumber billboards, and the horizon stays wide open. Mathews County as a whole is one of the least densely populated counties in the Hampton Roads region, which means you trade traffic for scenery and anonymity for community. The county seat of Mathews Courthouse is a short drive away, offering local services without the sprawl. For those drawn to the water, the North River and surrounding tidal waterways are part of the daily backdrop, and the broader Chesapeake Bay is never far from view. It is the kind of address that anchors a lifestyle rather than just a commute.

What's nearby

Daily errands are handled in Mathews Courthouse, where you will find grocery options, a pharmacy, and local dining. The historic Mathews County Courthouse area has a genuine small-town character worth exploring on a weekend afternoon. For a wider selection, Gloucester Courthouse is roughly 20 to 25 minutes north and adds more retail and dining variety. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Bethel Beach Natural Area Preserve and the New Point Comfort Lighthouse, both within easy reach. The broader Middle Peninsula offers kayaking, fishing, and boating access that makes weekends feel like a standing invitation to get outside.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is approximately 36 minutes from Potato Neck Road, and Camp Peary adds a second base option at about 38 minutes — both manageable for daily commutes. Three full bathrooms in a 3-bedroom home means no morning bottlenecks for a busy household. Families comparing options should also note that a VA loan can make this kind of rural property very accessible without a large down payment.

For buyers drawn to character

If cookie-cutter subdivisions leave you cold, Port Haywood is a genuine alternative. Potato Neck Road sits in Mathews County's tidal peninsula landscape — working waterfront culture, open skies, and neighbors who wave. The 2001 build gives you modern bones without the sameness of a planned community, and three full baths in 1,701 square feet signals that the floor plan was designed with real daily life in mind.
