247 BURRUSS MILL RD Bumpass, VA 23024

Welcome to your private waterfront retreat on the public side of Lake Anna in sought after Tara Woods community, where every day feels like a getaway and lake living becomes your lifestyle.
Tucked away on two combined lots totaling over 2 acres, this meticulously maintained Jim Barna log home is a rare blend of craftsmanship, comfort, and connection to the water. Built with impressive 6x12 hewn dovetail construction in classic post-and-beam construction, the home radiates warmth and authenticity from the moment you arrive. A manicured approach, with mature trees and lush landscaping, welcomes you in with a paver-edged circular drive and generous car park—setting the tone for the thoughtful details found throughout.
Step inside and be immediately drawn to the soaring cathedral ceilings and long, tranquil views of the lake. The great room is anchored by a stunning stone fireplace with gas logs, flanked by custom built-ins, and opens seamlessly to the expansive rear deck—perfect for morning coffee at sunrise or evening gatherings under the stars. The deck and front porch were upgraded in 2025 with composite decking and sleek aluminum railing, offering beauty with low maintenance.

The kitchen has been stylishly refreshed with painted cabinetry, elegant quartz countertops, a newer refrigerator, and a cooktop island with breakfast bar seating—ideal for casual meals and conversation. A separate dining room captures peaceful lake views, making every dinner feel special.

The main-level primary suite offers a serene escape with lake views, French door access to the rear deck, a walk-in closet with built-ins, and a private bath. Upstairs, a charming loft overlooks the great room and leads to two spacious bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath featuring dual vanities and separate water closets—designed for comfort and convenience.

The lower level was made for entertaining, complete with a family room, hickory cabinetry, a bar with refrigerator, and a large finished room currently used as a bedroom with its own full bath—ideal for guests after a full day on the water.

Outside, the lifestyle truly shines. The gently sloping, level lot makes access to the lake effortless. Wide open views but quiet cove. An irrigation system drawing from lake water keeps the grounds vibrant all season long. Down at the shoreline, your single-slip boathouse offers excellent water depth, built-in storage, a heavy-duty boat lift, jet ski lift, retractable shade, and ample decking for lakeside gatherings. The roof was replaced in 2023, as was the home's roof—providing peace of mind for years to come.

With an attached garage plus an oversized two-story detached garage ready to house all your lake toys, there's room for everything—and everyone.

This is more than a home. It's early morning paddles, afternoon boat rides, sunset cruises, and evenings by the fire. It's the sound of water against the dock and laughter echoing across the deck.

It's the lake life—elevated.
