Property Description

Rare Waterfront Retreat on Three Combined Lots — 288 Feet of Private Shoreline in Gated Lake Land'Or Just 90 minutes from Washington, D.C., this is the lakefront escape you've been looking for — where 1.21 acres of combined waterfront property and 288 feet of private shoreline create a sanctuary that simply cannot be replicated. Three combined lots, all on the water, deliver the privacy, space, and seclusion that serious lake buyers spend years searching for. The home was completely renovated, with every major system replaced — windows, siding, roof, HVAC, and water heater — giving this property the integrity of new construction with the warmth of an established lakefront retreat. With 2,175 sq ft of above-grade finished living space, the thoughtful layout offers three bedrooms, two full baths, one half bath, a dedicated climate-controlled home office with its own mini split, and a flexible bonus/sun room, facing the lake, ideal for a library or scenic lounge area. A backup propane gas heater ensures the retreat stays warm and cozy no matter the season. The well-appointed kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a gas stove — designed for effortless entertaining and slow weekend mornings alike. Maple hardwood floors flow through the main level, complemented by a wood-burning fireplace, ceramic tile baths, and fresh carpet upstairs. A Waterdrop reverse osmosis drinking water system, whole-house sediment filter, and full Ring security system mean this home is as practical as it is beautiful. Step outside and the property truly comes alive. A covered front deck, elevated second-story porch, pergola, and 256 sq ft patio with fire pit offer endless ways to enjoy the water across every season. A private dock, a wooded third lot providing a natural privacy buffer, and a productive pear tree at the water's edge make every weekend feel like a world away. An oversized, 672 sq ft, 2-car detached garage handles everything from lake toys to weekend project needs. For those with a green thumb, an established organic lakeside garden — irrigated directly from the lake — is ready for its next season. Lake Heritage is a quiet gem within the Lake Land'Or community. Unlike the main 87-acre motorboat lake, Lake Heritage is a peaceful, intimate waterway perfectly suited for kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding — gliding along 288 feet of your own private shoreline without a wake in sight. Drop a line off your dock and you'll find bluegill, crappie, and largemouth bass waiting, along with the occasional large catfish and carp that call these waters home. The resident turtles and frogs complete the picture. The wildlife here is not an occasional treat — it is a daily ritual. Blue herons stand sentinel at the water's edge each morning. Kingfishers dart across the surface. Canadian geese and mallord ducks make regular appearances, and cardinals, bluebirds, blue jays, and robins fill the property with color and song year-round. Owls patrol at dusk, and ospreys are a regular spectacle — watching one fold its wings and pound the water to pull up a fish is the kind of moment that reminds you exactly why you made this investment. Residents of Lake Land'Or enjoy resort-style amenities including a gated entrance, pool, private beach, two community boat ramps, water skiing on the main 87-acre lake, clubhouse, tennis courts, walking trails, a campground, and a dog park — all just off I-95 between Richmond and Fredericksburg. FEMA Zone X — no flood insurance required. High-speed Xfinity internet with Verizon Fios fiber coming to the neighborhood — so the workweek can follow you here when you want it to, and disappear when you don't. Three waterfront lots. 288 feet of shoreline. A fully rebuilt home. Quiet water. Ninety minutes from DC. This is the one you don't let pass.
