Do All Access Homes at Lake Anna Have Boat Slips?

Do all access homes at Lake Anna have boat slips? Short answer is no. Now I'll go into a bit more detail as boat slips are pretty important items here at Lake Anna.

Access homes are located within most of the subdivisions surrounding the lake. They are not waterfront homes which means property owners do not have direct acess to the water. In order to launch their boats it is necessary for the subdivision to have a waterfront lot with a ramp known as a common area. Boat Slips - Photo by Kate Elim, Lake Anna, VA

Many of these common areas have boat slips for the property owners within that particular community. Depending on the subdivision, they boat slips may be assigned or they may be on a first come, first serve basis. If the are assigned they may be on a yearly rental/lease or the may be dedicated which means they convey with the property and are in the deed.

When there are not enough slips or none at all boats need to be trailered each time the owner wants to put it in the water. For this reason, homes and unimproved land that have assigned boat slips are more popular and cost more than a similar lot without that feature.

Boat slips vary. There are simple boat slips and then there are more expensive ones that are similar to individual boat shelters. These are the covered boat slips which provide an additional level of protection for your boat. Electricity is generally available enabling owners to have an electric lift installed. Manual lifts and solar powered lifts are also possibilities.

This is one more thing to think about when you are looking for a home or a piece of land to build on at Lake Anna.

It can be a fun process if you are working with a Realtor® that knows the lake and understands what is important to ensure the right purchase.
