Why this home stands out
What sets 4497 Backwoods Lane apart is its combination of a manageable footprint and a genuinely rural feel in Gloucester County — without sacrificing access to the broader Hampton Roads corridor. Built in 2010, the home benefits from modern construction standards in a setting where wooded lots and quiet lanes are the norm rather than the exception. For buyers who want breathing room without a sprawling maintenance burden, this address hits a real sweet spot.
ALL OTHERS AREA 120 and the Hayes real estate market
Hayes is a small, unincorporated community tucked into Gloucester County on the Virginia Peninsula, sitting along the York River corridor where the pace of life runs noticeably slower than the urban core of Hampton Roads. The area around Backwoods Lane lives up to its name — you're in a part of Gloucester County where mature trees, open land, and a genuine sense of privacy define the character of the streets. Neighbors tend to know each other, and the community has a low-key, established feel that's hard to replicate closer to the city. Gloucester County itself is known for its agricultural roots, waterfront access points along the York River and Mobjack Bay, and a tight-knit small-town culture centered around the historic Gloucester Courthouse area. The drive into the broader Peninsula — Yorktown, Gloucester Point, and beyond — is straightforward via Route 17, making Hayes a quiet home base with solid regional connectivity. If the Hayes, Virginia lifestyle appeals to you, 4497 Backwoods Lane is worth a close look.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are handled with reasonable ease from Backwoods Lane. The Gloucester Courthouse area, roughly 10 to 15 minutes north on Route 17, is home to grocery options, pharmacies, and local dining. Tractor Supply, Food Lion, and a handful of local restaurants are all within a short drive. For coffee, Gloucester has independent cafés as well as familiar chain options along the Route 17 corridor. Yorktown Battlefield and the York River State Park are both accessible within 20 to 25 minutes, giving outdoor enthusiasts solid options for hiking, paddling, and waterfront recreation without a long commute.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Camp Peary is roughly 10 minutes away, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is about 15 — making 4497 Backwoods Lane a genuinely practical choice for service members stationed on the lower Peninsula.

It's a quiet landing spot with easy base access.
For first-time buyers
At 991 square feet with two bedrooms and two full baths, 4497 Backwoods Lane is a manageable, right-sized first home — built in 2010, so you're not inheriting decades of deferred maintenance. Gloucester County tends to offer more land and privacy per dollar than the denser parts of Hampton Roads, and the relatively straightforward footprint means lower utility costs and less upkeep as you get your footing as a homeowner.
