Why this home stands out
Built in 1988, this residential property stands out for its sheer scale: five bedrooms and three full baths spread across 3,849 square feet give households room to grow, spread out, and still have space left over. The Sawgrass Pointe address sits in Gloucester County, Virginia — a quieter, more rural-feeling jurisdiction than the dense Hampton Roads core, yet still connected to major bases and the broader Peninsula in a reasonable drive.
SAWGRASS POINTE and the Hayes real estate market
Hayes is a small, unincorporated community in Gloucester County, Virginia, positioned along the western bank of the York River. It carries a distinctly coastal-rural character — you're close enough to water to feel it in the air, but the pace here is unhurried compared to Virginia Beach or Norfolk. Sawgrass Pointe Drive sits in an established residential pocket of Hayes where mature trees and generous lot sizes define the streetscape. Gloucester County's lower density means less traffic, more breathing room, and a genuine sense of community that larger cities can struggle to replicate. The Coleman Bridge connecting Hayes to Yorktown is just a short drive away, putting the Colonial Parkway, Colonial Williamsburg, and the broader Historic Triangle within easy reach on a weekend afternoon. For daily errands, Route 17 is the main artery and keeps most necessities accessible without a long haul.
What's nearby
Day-to-day convenience is closer than you might expect. YROC Coastal Bar & Grill is just 0.2 miles away — an easy walk for a casual dinner. Eggheads Diner, a local breakfast and lunch staple, is 0.7 miles out, and Domino's Pizza is right behind it at 0.8 miles. Dunkin' and an Amoco with grocery staples are both about a mile away for quick morning runs. If staying active is a priority, Alterra Training LLC is also within a mile and handles the gym side of things. It's a compact, practical cluster of everyday stops that makes life in this corner of Gloucester County feel genuinely manageable.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is roughly ten minutes from the front door, and Camp Peary sits about sixteen minutes out — a commute that keeps duty days from eating your whole morning. A VA loan can make a five-bedroom home at this scale more accessible than many families expect, and Gloucester County's calmer pace is a welcome contrast to base life. There's real room here for a household that needs space and a short drive to work.
For families upgrading
Five bedrooms and three full baths across nearly 3,900 square feet means everyone gets their own corner. Families comparing homes for sale zoned for local Gloucester County schools will find that Sawgrass Pointe Dr offers the square footage to justify the move — dedicated spaces for homework, guests, and the general organized chaos of a busy household, all in an established neighborhood with a quieter, more suburban-rural feel.
