VaHome team overview

Our read on this home

At a glance

1493 Cricket Hill Road sits in the quiet coastal community of Hudgins, Virginia — a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home built in 1975 with nearly 2,000 square feet of living space and the kind of unhurried, waterfront-adjacent lifestyle that Mathews County is known for.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 1493 Cricket Hill Road apart is its location deep in Mathews County's tidal peninsula, where the pace slows down and the water is never far. With just under 2,000 square feet spread across three bedrooms and two and a half baths, this 1975-built home offers a footprint that works well for full-time living or a slower-lane retreat — all within a genuinely small-town coastal community that most people don't stumble across by accident.

ALL OTHERS AREA 126 and the Hudgins real estate market

Hudgins is a small unincorporated community tucked into the lower reaches of Mathews County, Virginia, where the land fingers out into the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries in every direction. This is one of those rare corners of the Mid-Atlantic where the water shapes daily life — crab pots, kayaks, and small fishing boats are as common as cars. The area draws people who want genuine coastal character without the resort-town crowds, and Cricket Hill Road sits right in that sweet spot. Mathews County as a whole is lightly developed by design, with no traffic lights in the entire county and a strong local identity built around the water, the land, and the people who've been here for generations. The primary keyword for this area — Hudgins Virginia waterfront community — fits naturally here because that's exactly what this is: a tight-knit, water-oriented community where neighbors know each other and the scenery does the heavy lifting. If you're coming from a busier metro area, the shift in atmosphere is immediate and unmistakable.

What's nearby

Daily life in Hudgins keeps things local and low-key. Islander Waterfront Restaurant & Motel is just 0.3 miles away — a genuine waterfront dining spot that becomes a regular haunt for people who live nearby. Half a mile out, Hole in the Wall offers another casual dining option that locals tend to love. The Hatchery Oyster Eatery, 0.7 miles away, leans into the regional seafood tradition in a serious way. For outdoor time, Cow Point is about a mile down the road — a natural area that puts you right at the water's edge. Grocery runs and broader errands require a drive into Mathews Court House or beyond, so this address suits someone who plans ahead and genuinely enjoys the trade-off.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Camp Peary is roughly 43 minutes away, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is about 45 minutes — both manageable for service members who want to put real distance between work and home. A VA loan can make this kind of move more accessible than you might expect, and living in Mathews County means your off-duty hours look very different from life near base.

For buyers drawn to character

If you've been searching for a home that feels genuinely rooted in a place — not a subdivision that could be anywhere — Cricket Hill Road in Hudgins delivers. Mathews County has a texture and identity that's hard to manufacture: working watermen, old farmland, tidal creeks, and a community that's been here long enough to have real stories. This 1975-built home is part of that fabric.
