About this home
Calling all investors, developers, first-time home buyers, and small farmers! Rare opportunity with subdivision potential near Lake Anna! Seller is offering $5,000 in closing costs to the right buyer! Nestled in a peaceful, quiet country setting in Louisa, Virginia, this 960 sq ft, 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers unmatched versatility, natural privacy, and immense possibilities. Tucked behind a deep natural buffer from the road and surrounded by a mature hardwood forest, the property delivers total tranquility while keeping you just minutes from boating, dining, and outdoor recreation on Lake Anna. Inside, the home feels surprisingly open and airy thanks to vaulted ceilings in both the den and bathroom, complementing an efficient, comfortable layout with a large dedicated laundry/utility room. A brand-new mini-split system ensures year-round, energy-efficient heating and cooling. Outdoors, the property is fully set up for country living, hobbies, and homesteading. In addition to a 1.5-car garage and a substantial pole barn—perfect for boat storage, heavy equipment, or a covered workshop—you'll find a ready-to-use chicken coop and run, plus a partially fenced yard ideal for small animals or dogs. The true showstopper is the land's untapped potential. The parcel is dividable, opening doors for immediate value creation, residential expansion, or multiple build sites. Need even more room to grow? An additional 3-acre parcel directly adjacent to the property is also available, presenting a rare assemblage opportunity in a high-demand Lake Anna corridor. Whether you are looking to renovate and hold as a weekend rental, build a private multi-home family compound, or subdivide and develop, this acreage checks every box.
