9571 Rowes Point Rd, Hayes, VA 23072

Why this home stands out

Built in 1966 and sitting on the Rowes Point peninsula, this 1,142-square-foot home carries the kind of understated character that newer construction rarely delivers. Two full baths for two bedrooms is a practical luxury, and the Gloucester County location puts you on a genuine peninsula — water on multiple sides, low traffic, and a sense of place that feels earned rather than manufactured.

ALL OTHERS AREA 120 and the Hayes real estate market

Hayes is an unincorporated community in Gloucester County, Virginia, occupying a stretch of the Middle Peninsula between the York River and Mobjack Bay. It's the kind of place where neighbors know each other, waterfront access is woven into everyday life, and the density of the wider Hampton Roads metro feels comfortably distant. Rowes Point Road sits near the tip of a small peninsula, which means the surroundings are defined as much by water and marshland as by the road itself. Gloucester County governs the area, keeping the tax structure and land-use rules distinct from the city jurisdictions across the river. You're not in a subdivision with a homeowners association dictating every detail — this is a more independent, low-key corner of coastal Virginia where the geography does the heavy lifting. Daily life here has a rhythm that's hard to find closer to the urban core.

What's nearby

Groceries and everyday errands are handled at the shopping corridor along Route 17 in Gloucester Court House, roughly 15 minutes north. For waterfront dining and local flavor, the Gloucester Point area along the Coleman Bridge is close — the bridge itself is a landmark crossing into York County. Mariners' Museum Park in Newport News is accessible via that crossing for weekend outings. The York River State Park, about 25 minutes away, offers hiking and paddling. Closer to home, the quieter roads of the Rowes Point area are well suited to cycling and walking without heavy traffic.
