Why this home stands out
Homes built in 1900 don't come around often, and when they do, they carry something newer construction simply can't replicate — a sense of permanence, proportion, and place. At 2,059 square feet, 9632 Rowes Point Road gives you genuine room to live while holding onto the craftsmanship and personality of an earlier era. Hayes is a low-traffic, water-adjacent corner of Gloucester County, and Rowes Point Road sits right in the heart of that quiet appeal.
ALL OTHERS AREA 120 and the Hayes real estate market
Hayes, Virginia sits along the western shore of the York River in Gloucester County, connected to the Peninsula by the Coleman Bridge and to the broader Hampton Roads region by Route 17. It's the kind of place where the pace slows down without the trade-offs — you're genuinely close to Yorktown, Gloucester Courthouse, and the commercial corridors of Grafton and Oyster Point, but the neighborhood itself stays quiet. Rowes Point Road runs through one of Hayes's more scenic pockets, where mature trees, open sky, and proximity to the water define the character of daily life. This is rural-residential Virginia at its most livable: no urban congestion, no dense subdivisions, just a grounded community with real roots. Gloucester County governs the area, which means lower-density zoning and a strong sense of local identity. If the Hayes, Virginia real estate market appeals to you, this address is one of the more distinctive spots within it.
