virginia: Something Was Calling Me Down to the Dock - 05/11/12 06:27 PM
Something was calling me down to the dock. I'm going to share a photo and perhaps you'll be able to quess what.
Come on Down!
It really didn't take much coaxing. Today was another gorgeous day here at Lake Anna and what better way to enjoy it than simply relaxing down on the dock. With a little encouragement from my granddaughter, Sean, I was more than ready to take it easy and enjoy the sunshine and beautiful breeze this afternoon.
Selling real estate at Lake Anna means that I share with others how wonderful life is here. I sometimes have … (10 comments)

virginia: EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL AT LAKE ANNA - 05/04/12 02:35 PM
Everything is beautiful at Lake Anna...even the spiderwebs. Yes, we're out in the country and we love it but it does come with certain amenities that might take some getting use to. One might be spiders that find all this fresh air and peaceful living give them plenty of time to create their masterpieces.
Now you can fight this and probably win or you can choose to take some pleasure in their creation. We do a bit of both. However, when I come across one like this I say live and let live.

virginia: Lucky Me...Living at Lake Anna Next to a Beautiful Garden - 05/02/12 06:23 PM
Often when I give directions to our home I make reference to my neighbors garden next door. They also live on the water and have chosen to garden up towards the road where the area is more open with less trees. It apparently is the perfect spot for this purpose. Ever since our neighbors moved down to Lake Anna to live here full time they have produced the most amazing display of flowers.
For a good part of the year I can tell folks that we are the driveway right after the property with the wonderful garden. It doesn't surprise … (3 comments)

Fredericksburg, VA has the beauty and charm of a small American town. One of the reasons is that it is an old town filled with homes that look as though they should be on postcards or calendars.

When I think of small towns along the east coast this is part of the vision that I conjour up. Fredericksburg fits the bill perfectly. It … (3 comments)

virginia: Fracking is Becoming Very Prevalent in Colorado...What About in Virginia? - 11/21/11 10:40 PM
Fracking could have caused the earthquake in Mineral last August according to the United States Geological Survey. According to the USGS recent earthquakes in Japan, Canada, and the United States were induced by human activity.
It will be interesting to find out if indeed fracking is responsible for our recent earthquake. An earthquake was one of the last things we would have expected to experience. Now that we have it is important for the cause to be discovered if that is at all possible. Learning more about fracking might be one way to find out if that has something to … (11 comments)

virginia: Internet Home Value Calculators - How Accurate Are They? - 11/17/11 01:10 PM
Many of us have heard stories of how off some of the "zestimates" are that proport to tell home owners the value of their homes. This is true especially in a place like Lake Anna where we take into consideration factors that go beyond the number of bedroom and baths, etc. Waterfront property especially has its own set of factors that need to be considered in determining market value.
Many other locations have their own set of criteria that has much to do with what people will pay for a property. Local Realtors® and appraisers understand this and base their pricing on … (0 comments)

virginia: Some Folks Shouldn’t Be Allowed in Home Depot - 11/17/11 12:41 PM
I would certainly be one of those people. IF, and that's a big if, I had any intentions of doing the work myself somebody please stop me. The kindest thing I can do for my house is to call in the pros and I'm not even thinking of selling my home.
Sellers and potential sellers, unless you really, really do have what it takes to do an excellent job...please heed the advice below. What dollars you think you may be saving could be lost with a lower sale price.

virginia: LAKE ANNA'S FALL FLOTILLA 2011 - 10/22/11 11:10 PM
One of the pleasures of fall is getting out on the water to see the beautiful fall colors. Today was such a day. Dockside Realty held its Annual Fall Flotilla. We had super weather, bright sunshine much of the time and not a bit of rain in sight.
Topping off the day was a nice turnout and a very tasty lunch in a wonderful setting. We dined outside on the patio and the beach area of a lovely home that is currently on the market in Twin Lakes, a subdivision that has access to both sides of Lake Anna.
