You must see this stunning water-access home with gorgeous lake views of Lake Anna! Priced below tax assessment! This home is situated on a level, water-accessible lot in Bear Castle Subdivision, offering year-round views of the lake. The home’s split floor plan features the owner’s suite and two guest bedrooms on opposite sides of the open living room and kitchen area. The owner’s suite features a large bath with a jetted tub and a separate shower; a walk-in closet adds elegance and functionality to this space. The home’s front and rear decks have been completely replaced. On the lower level, you’ll find two bedrooms or a bedroom and an office (3-bedroom drainfield). Bear Castle Subdivision allows both short-term and long-term rentals, enabling you to utilize this home as an income property. The large deck on the front of the house is perfect for enjoying dinners or entertaining guests. If you’re looking for a bit of shade on those hot summer days, there are two covered sitting areas below. The outdoor space at this home is a blank canvas. The lot is .93 acres and is beautifully landscaped and cleared for easy mowing. The backyard is partially fenced and pet-friendly with a shaded pet area. The common area has a boat ramp and a small beach area for property owners to enjoy. By boat, you can easily navigate to local restaurants as you are on the Public Side of Lake Anna. If you launch your boat at the Common Area and turn right, you can watch the annual 4th of July fireworks close to Dike 2. Boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing are all perfect activities from this area, and to top it off, the water is crystal clear and refreshing for swimming. This is one home you must check out!
