27 Garland Town Road, VA 23117

Set on 1.5 acres this nice brick one-level ranch offers what is increasingly hard to find: real usable land, already fenced and outfitted. Fencing, outbuildings, open cleared ground, and a shaded grove under mature hardwoods mean you can bring your chickens, goats, pigs, donkeys or a horse and be ready to go. Property is zoned A2. BRAND NEW ROOF just installed - listing photos show the previous roof. Inside, wood floors run through a formal living room with excellent natural light, there is a separate eat-in kitchen anchored by a wood burning fireplace, and a generous family room that gives you a true second living space instead of one crowded great room. The primary bedroom includes its own private half bath. Windows were updated several years ago, and the oversized attached garage is deep enough to park and still keep a full workshop set up. Direct entry into the house from the garage. Water heater 2023, well holding tank 2024, HVAC 2008. The location keeps you close without giving up the quiet: roughly 8 miles to Miller's Market and the Saturday farmers market in Mineral, about 14 to Food Lion at Lake Anna, and 15 to the Town of Louisa for shops, restaurants, the Louisa Arts Center, and the Virginia Scenic Railway excursion trains. Lake Anna itself - 13,000 acres, 17 miles long, roughly 200 miles of shoreline - sits about 20 minutes away, with public boat landings, marinas, waterfront dining, and Lake Anna State Park a little farther up New Bridge Road. Cooper Vineyards and Lake Anna Winery are both an easy drive, and Trevilian Station battlefield and the Green Springs historic district are nearby for anyone who loves Virginia history. Commuters reach I-64 at Gum Spring in about 20-25 minutes via Route 522, putting Short Pump and Richmond less than an hour away and Charlottesville about the same, while Route 208 runs northeast toward Fredericksburg and I-95. Add low Louisa County taxes - the 2025 bill was $1,752 - and you have a rare mix of privacy, usable acreage, and access.
