Back on the market at no fault of the sellers. A circa 1880 farmhouse masterfully reimagined for modern living, set on 5.7 manicured acres just minutes from Lake Anna. This 4-bedroom (plus office/optional 5th bedroom), 3.5-bath home blends authentic period character with a top-to-bottom renovation, delivering the rare combination of historic soul and true turnkey livability, all in one of Central Virginia's most sought-after recreational corridors.
A welcoming circular drive greets guests at the front of the home, while a separate gated drive along the side offers private access to the rear grounds and outbuildings. From the side gate to the back of the property, the yard is fully fenced, perfect for pets, hobby farming, or simply enjoying the peace of your private retreat. A classic covered front porch frames the entry. Inside, original wide-plank pine floors, a transom-lit entry, and a preserved staircase anchor the home's antique charm. The show-stopping chef's kitchen features vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams, custom soft-gray cabinetry, stone counters, a stainless farmhouse sink, gas cooktop with vented hood, double wall ovens, and a sun-filled dining area beneath statement pendant lighting. Open to the kitchen, the great room offers another soaring beamed ceiling and a wall of windows framing the wooded grounds, bright, airy, and built for gathering.
The main-level primary suite sits just off the foyer and features a fully renovated spa bath with double vanity, designer tile, and a custom walk-in closet system tucked behind a sliding barn door. A second spacious main-level bedroom offers its own fireplace and a private hall bath, ideal as a guest suite or in-law setup. A dedicated laundry room and sun-drenched sunroom round out the first floor. Upstairs you'll find two additional bedrooms, including one with a charming fireplace, a full bath, and a versatile office that easily functions as a fifth bedroom.
Outdoors is where this property truly shines, a screened-in back porch invites year-round relaxation, while a detached oversized garage, the original smokehouse, a chicken coop, and beautifully maintained pasture and lawn framed by mature hardwoods complete the setting. Whether you're hosting, homesteading, or simply unwinding, this is country living done right.
Just a short drive to Lake Anna's public landings for boating, fishing, paddling, and lakefront dining — with Richmond and Charlottesville both within easy commuting distance. A rare and remarkable offering that delivers character, comfort, and lifestyle in equal measure.
