Lots over $375,000

Waterfront lots...Expect lots with 100' or more of good waterfront. Water should be deep enough to dock an average boat without dredging. Expect the proposed home site to have a good view over the lot's own waterfront. The topography should have a mild to moderate slope to the water. Current soil work should support a drain field for at least a three bedroom home. Higher priced lots will have a sandy bottom or a beach, 200' of waterfront or more, or waterfront improvements such as a boat house or bulkheading. Point lots generally command high prices. These premium lots sell for $550,000 or more.

Remember to consider the orientation of the lot if you prefer sunset or sunrise views. Don't forget to consider the proposed house sites of neighboring lots as well.

Be advised...All Lake Anna properties must have a well and a septic system or access to a community well or septic system. I make certain that my clients have current soil information for any lot they may consider purchasing. The type of septic system that a lot requires will have an impact on the price of the lot.

Non waterfront lots... A lot which is not on the water (generally called a "water access lot") and priced over $375,000 will most likely be 10 acres or more, be subdividable or have commercial value.

Lots under $375,000

Waterfront lots...Some nice waterfront lots are currently on the market in the $200,000 - $375,000 price range. Expect 30' - 100' of shoreline. Lots with more shoreline and better views command higher prices as do lots in upscale communities. Soil studies should show that the lot will support at least a 2 bedroom drain field. Pipestem lots or waterfront lots with limited or no water views should be priced at the lower end of this price range..

Shared waterfront and lots with waterfront outparcels are considered waterfront properties and could be a bargain at $125,000 - $200,000.

Water access lots...average $80,000 - $175,000. Lots with water views are generally priced higher than those without a view and are much less common. Nice lots in good communities with paved roads and an assigned boat slip in a well-maintained common area may run from $100,000 - $125,000. Remember to ask for a copy of the community's Covenants and Restrictions and a soils study, if available, before you purchase any lot. As you can see by the list to the right of this page, there are many factors that influence lot prices.

Ask me for names of local contractors if you are considering building on your lot. Currently there are no time limits on how long you can hold a lot before you build.
