Why this home stands out
What sets 2750 New Point Comfort Highway apart is its combination of mid-century bones and genuine rural seclusion on Virginia's Middle Peninsula — a stretch of Mathews County coastline where the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries shape everyday life. The 1940 construction gives the home a solidity and character that newer builds rarely match, and the surrounding landscape of marshland, farmland, and tidal creeks makes this address feel worlds away from the suburban corridor.
ALL OTHERS AREA 126 and the Port Haywood real estate market

The area draws people who want space, privacy, and a genuine connection to the natural world without sacrificing a reasonable drive to larger towns. Gloucester Court House is roughly 20 to 25 minutes north, offering everyday services, while Mathews Court House — the county seat — is closer still.
