Why this home stands out
What separates 6454 Carmines Island Lane from most properties in Gloucester County is the sheer combination of scale and seclusion. Nearly five acres of land, more than 5,300 square feet under roof, five bedrooms, and four and a half baths — that's a footprint you simply don't find close to the water in this part of the Virginia Peninsula. This is the kind of property where the land itself is part of the lifestyle.
ALL OTHERS AREA 120 and the Hayes real estate market
Hayes sits in Gloucester County on the western shore of the York River, connected to the Peninsula by the Coleman Bridge and defined by a quiet, semi-rural character that draws people who want space without sacrificing convenience. The area around Carmines Island Lane is low-density and wooded, with generous lot sizes that give neighbors room to breathe. Gloucester County governs this address — no city taxes, a slower pace, and a community identity rooted in the water and the land. Hayes proper has grown steadily as buyers discover that the drive times to Yorktown, Newport News, and Williamsburg are shorter than outsiders expect. For anyone comparing properties along the Middle Peninsula, this pocket of Gloucester County consistently earns a second look. The address puts you within reach of the York River, the Piankatank corridor, and the broader network of creeks and inlets that make this corner of coastal Virginia genuinely distinctive.
What's nearby
Daily life from Carmines Island Lane is more convenient than the rural setting might suggest. The Tractor Supply and Food Lion anchoring the Hayes shopping corridor on George Washington Memorial Highway are roughly ten minutes away, handling most everyday errands without a long drive. Gloucester Courthouse, about fifteen minutes north, adds a pharmacy, hardware options, and local dining. Yorktown's waterfront — with its restaurants, Riverwalk Landing, and the York River State Park access points — is a short hop across the Coleman Bridge. Williamsburg's historic district and its full retail and dining lineup sit under thirty minutes west. The York River itself is the defining nearby amenity, with boat ramps and fishing access woven throughout the surrounding community.

For military families relocating
Eight minutes to Naval Weapons Station Yorktown and nine minutes to Camp Peary — 6454 Carmines Island Lane is one of the rare properties that puts you genuinely close to two installations while still offering nearly five private acres.

For families upgrading
Five bedrooms, four and a half baths, and 5,381 square feet on 4.78 acres — if your current home has started to feel crowded, this is the upgrade that gives every family member room to spread out. Gloucester County's lower tax structure and the property's generous footprint make the math work in ways that comparable square footage closer to the urban core rarely does.
