Property Description

Relish in the unhurried moments of waterfront living at Lake Anna, Virginia in this classic waterfront retreat, located in the most desirable community on the private side of the lake, The Waters At Lake Anna — where days are longer, sunsets are better, and life moves at a slower, sweeter pace. With 190 feet of bulkheaded shoreline, deep water, a sandy beach, and your very own boathouse, this is the kind of place where summer memories are made—morning coffee on the dock, afternoons spent cruising or swimming, and evenings around the fire pit under the stars. Inside, with almost 3,800 square feet spread over two levels, this is everything you want in a true lake retreat—open, inviting, and built for gathering. The vaulted family room with a stone wood-burning fireplace sets the tone for cozy nights after a full day on the water, while walls of windows bring the lake views right inside. The open kitchen, complete with a center island and brand-new stainless steel appliances (2026), keeps everyone connected—whether you're cooking, hosting, or just hanging out. The lakeside primary suite offers the perfect escape with direct access to the screened porch—ideal for slow mornings with a cup of coffee and peaceful water views. With multiple bedrooms on both levels and a fully finished walkout basement featuring a second living area, rec space, kitchen/wet bar, and another lakeside suite, there’s room for everyone to stay, relax, and never want to leave. Step outside and it only gets better—a spacious composite deck (Trex Transcend Decking & Trex Signature Railing June 2019), fire pit for s’mores and stories, a sandy beach to play on, and a boathouse built for fun with two slips, electric lifts (including an 8,000 lb lift added in 2022), a sundeck, storage room, and two Wave Armour Apex 6 jet ski docks so you're always ready for a day on the water. Yes, even the kayaks, canoe and pedal boat all convey! Additional highlights include an oversized fully finished and insulated 3-car garage with a 24K BTU mini split, insulated doors, and WiFi-enabled jackshaft openers, plus a paved driveway and storage shed. All of this located in a golf cart–friendly, short-term rental–approved community that offers an in-ground pool, sandy beach, clubhouse, boat ramp, tennis, pickleball, basketball, and playground. Conveniently close to groceries, dining, coffee shops, and local favorites like Elk Creek County Store gas station and deli, Lake Anna Taphouse and The Yacht Club. This retreat is the perfect place to gather, unwind, and create lasting memories at the lake.
