feature|great second home Mitch Shumate Lake Anna Realty PHOTO PROVIDED BY DOCKSIDE REALTY Prices are stable, and it is a buyer’s market. Buy now as a vacation or second home, and retire here when you are ready. To offset some of the costs, you can take advantage of the strong vacation rental market. Rental management services are available. Lake Anna is a unique real estate market. To avoid any pitfalls, it is highly recommended that you work with a knowledgeable, local, professional realtor to guide and educate you through the process. We bought a home at Lake Anna in 1994. For the first 11 years it was a weekend home; we have been at the Lake full time since 2005 and have loved every minute of it. The top qualities that make Lake Anna a great place to live are its laid-back atmosphere and its proximity to some of Virginia’s major cities. In and around Lake Anna you will find centers of culture—filled with wineries, arts and theater. It’s also a historical hub, with important Civil War history and monuments nearby. If you’re looking to purchase a second home, Lake Anna is the perfect place for you. Prices are attainable for properties on and near the water, and it doesn’t hurt having a little extra income by using your second home as a vacation rental. Buyers love Lake Anna for its country living and lakeside water activities. This large, freshwater body of water has endless activities in and around the region. So, whether you’re a first-time home buyer or a high-end buyer looking for one-of-a-kind investment properties, this is the perfect time to purchase a second home! Why rent when low mortgage rates mean that it’s just as cheap to own a beautiful, lakeside property? This amazing location is the perfect place to build a family legacy. Many homes have lovely water views and waterfront access, and styles range from quaint rustic homes to modern gems. Established in 1981, Lake Anna Realty was one of the first realty companies on the lake. We had a vision, and our philosophy has never changed—the customer is always first! We want to make sure that each and every client we work with is given special attention, from first time buyers to the most discerning customer.
