2297 Perrin Creek Rd, Hayes, VA 23072

Why this home stands out

Homes this old in Gloucester County don't come along often. Built in 1890, this property carries more than a century of history in its bones — the kind of architectural detail and craftsmanship that newer construction simply can't replicate. Sitting on Perrin Creek Road in Hayes, it occupies a quiet rural corridor where the pace slows down and the surroundings feel genuinely unhurried. That combination of age, character, and location is a rare find.

ALL OTHERS AREA 120 and the Hayes real estate market

Hayes is an unincorporated community in Gloucester County, Virginia, tucked along the western shore of the York River on the Middle Peninsula. It's the kind of place people discover when they're weighing whether city or suburbs is the right fit — and then realize there's a third option entirely: a rural waterside community where neighbors know each other and the land still has room to breathe. Gloucester County has a distinct identity, separate from the more densely developed Hampton Roads corridor across the river. Life here revolves around the outdoors — boating, fishing, kayaking — and a genuine small-town rhythm. The county seat of Gloucester Courthouse is a short drive north, offering local shops, a farmers market, and a historic courthouse green. Hayes itself sits near the Coleman Bridge, which connects the Middle Peninsula to Yorktown and the wider Hampton Roads region, making it more accessible than its rural character might suggest.
