295 Douglas Road

Every Home Has a Story. This One Comes With Its Own Piece of Lake Anna. The sellers are ready to begin their next chapter, creating an exciting opportunity for the next owners to write theirs! Thoughtfully priced below tax-assessed value, this exceptional Lake Anna property is ready for its next story to unfold. Welcome to 295 Douglas Road, where life moves a little slower, the days last a little longer, and the best memories are made somewhere between the front porch and the water's edge. Tucked among the trees in Lake Anna's ("center lake") established Contrary Forest community, this beautiful log home offers something increasingly special, a place to escape the everyday without giving up the comforts of home. Picture mornings with coffee on the covered porch, the peaceful sounds of nature all around you, and nowhere in particular you need to be. Inside, soaring beamed cathedral ceilings, warm hardwood floors, and a wood-burning stove create the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. The open living spaces invite conversation, laughter, and gatherings that stretch long past dinner. The kitchen, with stainless steel appliances, a center island, and breakfast bar, is ready for everything from leisurely breakfasts to holiday celebrations. A generous dining area provides room for everyone to gather, while the screened porch offers another favorite spot to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The main-level primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a jetted tub, dual vanities, separate shower, and direct access to a covered porch. Upstairs, spacious bedrooms and an open overlook add to the home's warm architectural character. The recently finished lower level is made for entertaining! A spacious family and game room features recessed lighting and a wet bar with a beer tap, wine cooler, refrigerator, and built-in cabinetry. There's plenty of space for game nights, gatherings, and relaxing after a day on the lake. Recent improvements include an additional bedroom and bathroom, a new HVAC system, a water treatment system, and improvements to the waterfront parcel. Outside, there's even more to discover! An extraordinary 18,000-gallon koi pond adds a distinctive touch to the peaceful setting, while the charming carriage house with attached shed offers versatile space for a garage, workshop, hobbies, and storage. From peaceful mornings on the covered porch to evenings spent relaxing on the screened porch, every corner of this property invites you to slow down, settle in, and make memories of your own. And when the lake calls...your own waterfront parcel is just a short distance away. Unlike homes offering only a community boat slip, this property includes actual deeded waterfront ownership, a meaningful distinction for those seeking their own piece of Lake Anna. Whether you're dreaming of a full-time home, a weekend escape, or exploring the possibilities of a vacation rental, this property offers exceptional versatility. A beautiful log home, private waterfront retreat, and the Lake Anna lifestyle you've been waiting for. The golf cart, riding mower, jet ski pad, kayak/canoes, wine cooler all can convey. Note: While the home hasn't been used as a rental, short term rentals are permitted within the community.
