Why this home stands out
Properties like this one are genuinely uncommon in Gloucester County. You're getting a five-bedroom, 4.5-bath home built in 1975 on 4.78 acres of Carmines Island land — that's elbow room you simply can't replicate in a subdivision. The square footage clears 5,300, the lot gives you real separation from neighbors, and the drive to two major installations is under ten minutes. Scale, land, and location rarely line up this cleanly on the Virginia Peninsula.
ALL OTHERS AREA 120 and the Hayes real estate market
Hayes is a quiet, water-adjacent community on the Gloucester County side of the Virginia Peninsula, connected to the broader Hampton Roads region by the George P. Coleman Memorial Bridge. Life here moves at a different pace than the denser cities across the York River — you get acreage lots, mature trees, and a genuine sense of distance from the noise, without actually being far from anything important. Carmines Island Lane in particular sits in a low-density corridor where large parcels are the norm and neighbors aren't stacked on top of each other. For buyers searching homes for sale near fort eustis, Hayes positions you within a reasonable commute corridor that also keeps Naval Weapons Station Yorktown practically at your doorstep. Gloucester County has its own distinct identity — locally owned shops, farm stands, and a courthouse village with genuine historic character — while still giving you highway access to Newport News, Williamsburg, and the broader Hampton Roads metro when you need it.
What's nearby
Daily errands in Hayes are straightforward. The Gloucester Courthouse area is a short drive and covers groceries, pharmacies, hardware, and dining. For a larger retail run, Gloucester's Route 17 corridor brings you chain grocery stores, home improvement, and fast-casual dining within 15 to 20 minutes. Williamsburg's shopping and restaurant scene is accessible in roughly 30 minutes. Outdoor options are a genuine draw here — the York River State Park is close by for hiking and paddling, and the surrounding waterways make kayaking and fishing part of everyday life for residents who want them. Camp Peary is nine minutes away, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is eight.
