VaHome Team property overview
A three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home built in 1975 on the rural Mathews County waterfront peninsula of Hudgins, Virginia — where seafood restaurants are steps away, the pace is unhurried, and the Chesapeake Bay lifestyle is genuinely part of everyday life.

Why this home stands out
What sets 1493 Cricket Hill Road apart is its position deep in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, surrounded by working waterfront culture and some of the freshest seafood on the East Coast. At just under 2,000 square feet, the 1975-built home offers a manageable footprint in a setting that feels genuinely remote — without actually being cut off. Three restaurants are within a half-mile walk, and Cow Point park is just a mile away.
ALL OTHERS AREA 126 and the Hudgins real estate market
Hudgins sits on the lower tip of the Mathews County peninsula, where tidal creeks, oyster beds, and salt air define the rhythm of daily life. This is castleton va — the quiet, water-edged Virginia that doesn't make headlines but earns fierce loyalty from the people who find it. Mathews County is one of the least densely populated jurisdictions in the Hampton Roads region, which means wide skies, low traffic, and neighbors who wave. Cricket Hill Road runs through a stretch of the county where the land narrows and the water is never far from view. The broader Hudgins community has a working-waterfront character — fishing, crabbing, and oystering are real industries here, not just weekend hobbies. It's a place where the seasons feel distinct, the grocery run is a deliberate errand rather than an afterthought, and the trade-off for that slower pace is a quality of life that genuinely can't be replicated in a subdivision.
What's nearby
Daily life along Cricket Hill Road leans heavily on the water and the local food scene that comes with it. Islander Waterfront Restaurant & Motel is just 0.3 miles away — close enough to walk on a warm evening. Half a mile out, Hole in the Wall is a local staple worth knowing. The Hatchery Oyster Eatery, at 0.7 miles, rounds out a walkable trio of dining options that most waterfront addresses can only dream of. For outdoor time, Cow Point park is one mile away and puts you right at the edge of the tidal landscape that makes Mathews County special. Beyond the immediate neighborhood, the county seat of Mathews Court House is a short drive for everyday errands.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Camp Peary is roughly 43 minutes from Cricket Hill Road, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown runs about 45 minutes out. If you're weighing a VA loan and want to stretch your BAH into a property with genuine character and breathing room, Hudgins offers something the areas immediately surrounding either base simply can't — true rural waterfront living at a price point that reflects the distance rather than the lifestyle.
For buyers drawn to character
If you've been asking yourself about the difference between suburban and urban living — and quietly wondering whether there's a third option entirely — Hudgins is your answer. This is rural coastal Virginia at its most authentic: working watermen, tidal creeks, oyster restaurants within walking distance, and a community that has stayed largely unchanged for decades. A 1975 home on Cricket Hill Road isn't a starter property; it's a deliberate choice to live differently.
