Why this home stands out
What sets this property apart is its deep roots and its setting. Built in 1940, the home carries the kind of honest, enduring construction you rarely find in newer builds — solid bones, a distinct architectural personality, and a lot that places you squarely in one of Virginia's most scenic and least-crowded coastal corridors. Port Haywood sits at the southern tip of the Mathews County peninsula, where the pace of life genuinely slows down and the natural landscape does most of the talking.
ALL OTHERS AREA 126 and the Port Haywood real estate market
Port Haywood is a small, unincorporated community in Mathews County, Virginia, tucked along the lower Chesapeake Bay shoreline where the land narrows toward New Point Comfort. This is rural Virginia at its most authentic — working watermen, osprey overhead, and roads that wind through marshland and maritime forest. Mathews County as a whole has long attracted people who want space, quiet, and genuine connection to the water without the density of a resort town. The county seat of Mathews Court House is a short drive north, offering local services, a historic courthouse green, and a tight-knit small-town atmosphere. Life at 2750 New Point Comfort Highway means you're living inside a landscape that most people only visit on weekends — and that distinction matters.
What's nearby
Day-to-day needs are met with a short drive toward Mathews Court House, where you'll find grocery options, hardware, and local dining. The New Point Comfort Natural Area Preserve — one of Virginia's most significant coastal preserves — is practically at your doorstep, offering hiking, birding, and sweeping views of the bay. Gloucester County is accessible across the county line for a broader range of shopping and services. The broader Middle Peninsula gives you access to the York River, public boat ramps, and waterfront parks that make weekends here genuinely rewarding.
