When we were searching for the perfect community to build our family lake home, we fell in love with the community of The Waters. The Waters community is like no other community at Lake Anna. It's the only community which includes all of the following: large pool*, pickleball/tennis courts, large sandy community beach with a covered pavilion, kids playground area, a marina for launching boats and quiet streets for walking, biking, jogging. Our favorite amenity is the community beach with an amazing kids playground area and a covered pavilion and picnic area which is right across the street from Owl's Nest - a 4 minute walk! When we found our lot to build our dream vacation home directly across from the beach, we knew our kids and grandkids would have years of memories in this family friendly community The Waters with it's quiet streets is great for kids and is minutes away from Food Lion and all the great restaurants at Lake Anna.

Owls Nest is chock full of amenities. Guests will love to relax on a cool evening with s'mores by the fire pit or spend the evening in the oversized, lighted hot tub with drinks! Our new patio is the crown jewel of Owl's Nest! We also have recently installed a custom playhouse/playground in the backyard, so parents can be grilling out or in the hot tub while kids are playing on the play set. The backyard provides endless entertainment day and night for all ages!
