New Lake Anna | Hot Tub, Pool, Beach, Fire Pit

Summary:

Welcome to Heron's Nest, a newly built (2023) 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home in The Waters at Lake Anna. Enjoy a bright open-concept layout, a granite island kitchen with a wine cooler, and a main-level Primary Suite with a spa-style walk-in shower. Soak in the luxury hot tub, gather at the extra-large fire pit, and paddle the complimentary kayaks. Guests enjoy resort-style community amenities: sandy beach, seasonal pool, tennis courts, and playground. New build, modern comfort, Lake Anna made easy.



The Space:

When we set out to build our family lake home, we fell for The Waters, one of the most amenity-rich, family-friendly communities at Lake Anna. It is the rare neighborhood that brings together a large community pool, tennis and pickleball courts, a sandy beach with a covered pavilion and playground, a marina for launching boats, and quiet streets made for walking, jogging, and biking. Heron's Nest sits a short, easy walk from the community beach, so morning swims and sunset strolls become part of the everyday here.



Built in 2023, Heron's Nest is a bright, modern home designed for easy lake living and effortless gathering. Clean finishes, an open-concept main level, and outdoor spaces that make the evenings as memorable as the lake days. It is ideal for one or two families, a multigenerational group, or a relaxed weekend with friends.



The main level is built around connection. The open-concept great room flows into the kitchen and dining area beneath large windows that fill the home with natural light. A gas fireplace anchors the living space, a smart TV is ready for movie nights, and a separate sunroom offers a quiet spot to read or sip coffee. Step out to the covered front porch for slow mornings, or gather everyone at the dining table for a long group dinner.



The kitchen is made for real cooking, not just reheating. A granite island gives you room to prep and a place to gather, upgraded stainless steel appliances handle group meals with ease, and a wine cooler keeps drinks chilled. It comes fully stocked with the cookware, dishes, and small appliances you need, plus a drip and pod coffee maker for easy mornings.



Heron's Nest sleeps eight across four bedrooms. The main-level Primary Suite features a king bed and a spa-style ensuite with a walk-in shower and double vanity, giving the main hosts privacy and a true retreat. Upstairs you will find two more king bedrooms and a fourth bedroom with two queen beds, ideal for kids or a second family, served by a full upstairs bathroom. A convenient half bath sits on the main level. Every room is finished with comfortable, modern furnishings and fresh bedding.



Outside is where the evenings come alive. Sink into the luxury hot tub that seats six to eight, gather around the extra-large fire pit for s'mores and stargazing, or fire up the gas grill for a cookout off the covered porch. The home also includes complimentary kayaks and paddleboards, plus life vests for the whole group, so you can wheel the gear to the community beach and spend the day on the water. An EV charger (Tesla Universal Wall Connector) is available for guests.



As our guest, you will also enjoy everything The Waters has to offer: a sandy community beach with a covered pavilion, a seasonal community pool, tennis and pickleball courts, a playground, and marina and community boat-ramp access (per HOA rules and seasonal availability). The neighborhood is minutes from Food Lion, Lake Anna wineries, restaurants, and Lake Anna State Park.
