Why this home stands out
Raw land at this scale is genuinely hard to find in Gloucester County's coastal corridor. At 6.7 acres, Oyster Haven Lane gives you room to site a custom home, add outbuildings, plant a garden, or simply let the tree line breathe. The name alone hints at the character of the surrounding area — quiet, water-adjacent, and a world away from the noise of the peninsula without being far from anything that matters.
ALL OTHERS AREA 120 and the Hayes real estate market
Hayes sits in the heart of Gloucester County, Virginia, straddling the line between rural calm and practical convenience. The community hugs the western shore of the York River, and the broader area carries the unhurried pace that draws people away from the congestion of Virginia Beach or Norfolk while keeping them within striking distance of the entire Hampton Roads region. Oyster Haven Lane fits that character well — a low-traffic road with a name that reflects the waterman culture woven into this part of the Middle Peninsula. Gloucester County land in this corridor tends to attract buyers who want acreage, privacy, and the ability to design their own environment from the ground up. The county seat of Gloucester Courthouse is a short drive north, and the George P. Coleman Memorial Bridge connects Hayes to Yorktown and the Historic Triangle in minutes. Whether you're drawn by the water, the open sky, or simply the idea of having neighbors you can't see from your front porch, this stretch of Gloucester County delivers.
What's nearby
Daily errands are more manageable than the rural setting might suggest. A Walmart Supercenter and Food Lion in the Hayes area handle grocery runs without a long haul. The Village at Gloucester Courthouse offers local dining, hardware, and services a few miles north. Yorktown's waterfront — with its restaurants, Riverwalk Landing, and historic battlefield — is just across the Coleman Bridge. For healthcare, Riverside Walter Reed Hospital in Gloucester is close by. Outdoor recreation is woven into the landscape here, with the York River State Park and public boat ramps giving easy access to the water.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is roughly 15 minutes away, and Camp Peary sits about 19 minutes out — making this parcel a legitimate option for military households who want to build rather than buy existing. A VA loan can often be used for land purchases when construction financing is part of the plan, so it's worth a conversation with a lender familiar with VA construction loans before you rule anything out.
For buyers drawn to character
If your vision involves a custom-built home on land that actually has room to breathe, 6.7 acres on Oyster Haven Lane is the kind of canvas that's hard to replicate. You're not inheriting someone else's floor plan or compromising on lot size. You get to decide where the house sits, how the driveway curves, and whether there's a workshop, a barn, or a pond in the picture.
Frequently asked questions
How far is 6.7ac Oyster Haven LN from Naval Weapons Station Yorktown?
Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is approximately 15 minutes from Oyster Haven Lane in Hayes, making it one of the more convenient land parcels in Gloucester County for personnel stationed there.
What can you build on 6.7 acres in Gloucester County, Virginia?
Gloucester County zoning allows for a range of uses on agricultural and residential land, including single-family homes, accessory structures, and agricultural uses — but you'll want to confirm the specific zoning designation and any deed restrictions with the county planning office before finalizing plans.
Is there public water and sewer available on Oyster Haven Lane in Hayes?
Rural parcels in this part of Gloucester County typically rely on well water and septic systems rather than public utilities — a soil evaluation and perc test are standard steps before any construction planning begins.
Are there flood zone considerations for this property?
Gloucester County's coastal corridor does include areas within FEMA-designated flood zones, so reviewing the official flood map for this specific parcel is an important step in the due diligence process.
Can a VA loan be used to purchase land in Hayes, Virginia?
VA loans are generally designed for properties with existing improvements, but some lenders offer VA construction loan products that combine land purchase and home construction — speaking with a VA-experienced lender early in the process will clarify what's available for a parcel like this.
