Mm Wescott, Hayes, VA 23072

Why this home stands out

New construction in 2026 means you're the first person to call this place home — no inherited quirks, no deferred maintenance, just current building codes and modern finishes from day one. At 2,518 square feet across three bedrooms and two baths, there's genuine room to spread out, and the Hayes location threads the needle between waterfront-community character and easy commute access to two major installations.

SWISS LEGACY and the Hayes real estate market

Hayes sits in Gloucester County on the western shore of the York River, a stretch of Virginia that trades city density for marshside calm without asking you to sacrifice convenience. The community has a distinctly coastal, small-town feel — pickup trucks, kayaks in driveways, neighbors who wave — while still sitting along Route 17, one of the peninsula's main arteries. Getting to Yorktown, Gloucester Courthouse, or across the Coleman Bridge into the Williamsburg corridor is straightforward from here. Gloucester County's lower cost of living relative to the urban Hampton Roads core is a draw for families and commuters alike, and the rural-residential mix along the York River corridor gives the area a character that newer master-planned suburbs rarely replicate. Wescott sits right in that sweet spot — quiet enough to feel like a retreat, connected enough to feel practical.

What's nearby

Day-to-day errands are genuinely close. Food Lion is about a mile away for grocery runs, and Scoot's BBQ is under a mile when you want someone else to handle dinner. YROC Coastal Bar & Grill is also within a mile for a more relaxed waterfront-adjacent evening out. Coffee before work is covered at Koala Bean Coffee, roughly nine-tenths of a mile away, and there's a 7-Eleven at the same distance for a quick stop. If you're keeping up a fitness routine, Alterra Training LLC is less than a mile from the address — close enough to make consistency easy.
