CASH ONLY - house has foundation issues. This 2.6-acre place in the heart of Lake Anna country has the kind of character you cannot build new: a cheerful farmhouse under a standing seam metal roof, a sunny enclosed porch running across the front, a wood stove in the eat-in kitchen, and a circular gravel drive looping through the yard beneath mature shade trees. Zoned A2 - bring the chickens, goats, or a horse. Room for a garden, a workshop, and animals, with woods wrapping the property for privacy. Recent updates: new water heater, new well pump, new well tank, and a new roof on one of the sheds. Two wells serve the property, both functioning, housed together in a well house attached to the rear of the home. Now the honest part, so you know before you come out. The home has known foundation issues and is offered strictly AS-IS, cash only, no repairs. The family room floor has settled and needs structural repair - please walk with care in that room. The well house needs repair as well, and the detached garage is past saving; budget it as a teardown. For the right buyer - an investor, a builder, or someone handy who wants acreage in this location at this price - the setting and the bones are the opportunity. Location is the other half of the story. About 5 miles to Mineral for groceries and the Saturday farmers market. Roughly 6 to Tim's at Lake Anna and the Boardwalk for crab legs, ice cream, and mini golf on the water. Lake Anna Taphouse, Vito's, and public boat landings within about 10; Lake Anna State Park around 15. Under 10 miles to the Town of Louisa for shops, restaurants, the Louisa Arts Center, and the Virginia Scenic Railway. Wineries and breweries throughout the county. Commuters: roughly 50 minutes to Fredericksburg and I-95, about an hour to Charlottesville, and around an hour and fifteen to Richmond.
