I like to write about what's new here at the lake, and some news about my business, too.  If you want to know what I'm writing about today, check out Lake Anna News from Nancy.

If you'd like a little background about me, please read on...

I'm a full time resident of Lake Anna, and my husband and I live in a waterfront home on the private side of Lake Anna with our two German Shorthaired Pointers, Baron and Annie.  I've been one of the top producing agents at Dockside Realty for more than ten years and have sold tens of millions of dollars of Lake Anna real estate.  More importantly, I've strived hard to serve the needs of my many clients, who are now my friends and neighbors at Lake Anna.

In 1994, I purchased a small two bedroom townhouse at Tara Shores, on the public side of the lake.  We had a great time there and enjoyed our lake home nearly every weekend all year round. 

Four years later, we purchased a waterfront lot and built our own home.  I found myself dreading Sunday evenings when we had to leave to return to Northern Virginia. Because we loved the lake, we decided to move to Lake Anna permanently!  It was then that I became a licensed Realtor® with Dockside Realty.  We subsequently sold our first house and built another one just a few lots away.   (See photo below).

Living full time on Lake Anna and meeting so many wonderful folks, helping them find their dream homes, and being a part of Team Dockside has proved to be one of the most rewarding things I've ever done!  I feel like each of my clients is a future neighbor and friend, and I'm thrilled when they wave to us from their boat or stop by our dock for a visit and a cold drink!

On a more personal level, I am proud of my three grown sons, my two wonderful daughters-in-law, and my two beautiful granddaughters.  Having been widowed in 2003, I met and married a wonderful man in 2005 and now have added four more sons and three more grandchildren to our family.  We are thrilled to welcome all 20 of our children, grandchildren, their wives, and significant others to our home as often as they can make it here from Reston, Va., Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and California.  Maybe I need to find another, bigger home here at the lake! 

When I'm not with clients or answering emails, we enjoy visiting historical sites, travelling, gardening, cooking Italian food, and being out on Lake Anna in our pontoon boat or jet ski.  Even sunny winter days will find us on our boat, beached at our favorite island, with a thermos of hot soup and our favorite magazine or newspaper, enjoying the fresh air and the blue sky reflected in the lake.

I love finding my future neighbors just the perfect spot at Lake Anna.  Why not let me introduce you to life at our beautiful lake?

See you on the lake!

A Food Lion grocery store and several new restaurants are under construction here at Lake Anna! Watch this site for news and construction updates!

UPDATE: August 13: The Food Lion shopping center walls are now out of the ground! Enjoy these photos taken in the last few days!

Route 652, Kentucky Springs Road, will be re-routed through the shopping center area and intersect Route 208 at Lake Anna Nursery. These new roads have been cut and graded, and their new route can easily be seen.

Our long-awaited Food Lion is under construction at the corner of Route 208 and Kentucky Springs Road, Route 652. The prototype store is slated to have a pharmacy, and several other businesses (including a Chinese restaurant, a pizza parlor, and a sub shop) will adjoin the first full size grocery store here at Lake Anna. Construction appears to be moving along quickly, and the developers anticipate that we will be shopping there before the end of January, 2011! Photos below taken July 13, 2010:

The Boardwalk at Lake Anna is now under roof. This waterfront complex will include a restaurant and possible sports bar, along with other retail shops and offices. The site features a boardwalk along the water with benches to enjoy the lake after dinner, eat an ice cream, or meet friends and neighbors. The developers hope it will become a favorite Lake Anna destination, especially once the planned batting cages, mini golf, and exercise circuit are complete. Located on Route 522 just before the bridge over the North Anna river, it will be a great place to stop for a dinner on a Friday evening on your way to the lake for the weekend, too! Lake Anna Island has a new building that is nearing completion along Route 208 on the Louisa County side of the bridge. Both an American and an Asian restaurant are slated to locate there, as well as several other local businesses. Photos of construction will be posted soon!

The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF) is phasing in new requirements for PWC operators in Virginia. If you are younger than 36 years of age (yep, that's not a typo!), you must have successfully completed an Accredited Safe Boating course before July 1, 2010, in order to operate a jet ski on Lake Anna or other Virginia waterways. You may be subject to a fine if you are stopped and have not completed the course. No one under 14 years of age may operate a PWC.
The Louisa County Parks and Recreation Department offers a free course one Saturday a month through October. Click hereSafe Boating Classes.pdf to see a flyer with the dates and location of the course in Louisa or go to www.dgif.virginia.gov/boating for other course locations and more detailed information. The course may also be taken online. Beginning in 2011, the regulations will also cover power boat operators!

The Fourth of July is just around the corner, and the Lake Anna Civic Association is again sponsoring one of the best fireworks displays around, presented by Zambelli Fireworks! Plan to come to Lake Anna on Saturday, July 3 and enjoy the show! It is free and open to the public!

All the fireworks are launched from Dike 2 and can be seen from neighboring developments, but most of us like to watch the displays from our boats on either the public or private sides of the lake. Unfortunately there are no public viewing areas on the shores.

Bring a picnic supper, or your favorite snacks, and anchor your boat where you can get a good view...you don't have to be very close to the dike to see the display! The first rockets will be fired around 9:15 pm, but go out early and relax under the summer's evening sky, enjoy a dip in the lake, and wave to your friends and neighbors while waiting for the show.

Just after dark, the sky will light up, and the show just gets better every minute until the Grand Finale! I guarantee you'll have a great time and will want to be here every year!

Remember that 100% of the funding for the fireworks comes donations from residents and friends of Lake Anna. The fireworks committee are all volunteers. If you would like to contribute to this annual Lake Anna event, please send your check made out to "LACA Fireworks" and mail to:

I've sent mine! This year's goal is $20,000!

Want affordable waterfront that is yours exclusively? A 38' x 50' waterfront area right on Lake Anna is yours with this charming three bedroom rambler. The exclusive easement to this waterfront will be right in your deed, and with proper permitting you can build a dock or boat house, swim in the lake, or enjoy a nap in a hammock or a picnic by the lake. The shady lake side setting is pretty and the water views are quite nice! Back at the house, you'll find a two year young open floor plan rambler with bamboo wood floors in the great room and ceramic tile in the kitchen, dining areas, and both bathrooms. The kitchen is big and open with a breakfast bar and lots of cabinets and counter space. The dining area opens to a nice deck overlooking the private back yard. Three good sized bedrooms include a master suite with ceramic tile surrounding a jetted tub and a separate shower. Another full bath is in the hall, along with a laundry closet. Downstairs is a full, unfinished, walkout basement. A double car attached garage completes the picture of this great little lake house. If you'd like a great rental investment, the sweet family renting the house currently may be willing to stay, and with the low investment interest rates, your rent could cover your monthly payments!
