🌿 The Secret Garden at Lake Anna | Private Resort-Style Estate | Pool w/ Slide, Courtyard Oasis, Sleeps 15
Some homes offer a place to stay.The Secret Garden offers an experience.
From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed into a private, 5,300 sq ft estate designed entirely around connection, relaxation, and unforgettable time together. Set on nearly 2.5 secluded acres, this one-of-a-kind retreat blends luxury, privacy, and resort-style amenities in a way that’s rare at Lake Anna.
At the heart of it all is the home’s signature feature — a stunning central courtyard oasis that transforms throughout the day, from peaceful mornings to glowing, intimate evenings under the lights.
✨ The Courtyard Experience— The Heart of the Home
Step into a space that feels completely removed from the outside world.
Surrounded by the home itself, the courtyard creates a private, immersive setting featuring:
• Three tranquil fountains• Lush native landscaping• Warm string lighting that comes alive at night• Multiple seating areas for gathering or unwinding
Whether it’s coffee at sunrise or wine after dinner, this is where guests naturally come together — and where many say their favorite moments happen.
🌊 Resort-Style Outdoor Living
Designed for full days and unforgettable nights, the outdoor spaces deliver a true resort feel:
• Private in-ground pool with waterslide• Expansive patio with lounge seating• Fire dining table for evening meals outdoors• Multiple fire features for gathering after sunset• Outdoor kitchen with gas-plumbed grill
From poolside afternoons to late-night conversations around the fire, every detail is built for comfort and connection.
🍽 A Chef’s Kitchen Built for Gathering
Inside, the kitchen becomes a natural gathering place — whether you’re cooking, hosting, or simply spending time together:
• 6-burner gas range + double ovens• Two full-size refrigerators (perfect for large groups)• Built-in ice maker• Oversized island with additional seating• Coffee bar with both espresso and drip options
It’s fully equipped to handle everything from casual breakfasts to full group dinners.
🏡 Spacious Interiors Designed to Bring People Together
The home’s interior balances openness with warmth:
• Soaring cathedral ceilings with exposed beams• Dual-sided stone fireplace anchoring the main living space• Multiple living areas for relaxing, entertaining, or recharging
Whether you’re gathering as a group or spreading out, there’s space for everyone.
🎯 Entertainment for All Ages
The lower level transforms into a full recreation space:
• 75” TV + comfortable lounge area• Wet bar for drinks and snacks• Game area with billiards, ping pong, darts, and more• A hidden speakeasy-style wine cellar🍷
Rain or shine, day or night — there’s always something to do.
🛏 Comfortable Sleeping for Up to 15 Guests
Thoughtfully designed to accommodate large groups:
• Primary suite with California King + spacious ensuite bath• Two Queen bedrooms• Two bunk rooms ideal for kids or groups• Private detached casita with Queen bed + full bathroom
The layout offers both shared spaces and privacy where it matters.
🚤 Lake Access + Location
Enjoy everything Lake Anna has to offer with:
• Private community lake access• Boat launch, slips, and swimming beach• Covered boat storage available• Just 1 mile to Lake Anna Taphouse
Bring your boat, spend your days on the water, and return to a private retreat each evening.
💬 Why This Home Stands Out
What makes The Secret Garden truly special isn’t just the size or amenities — it’s how the entire property is designed around experience.
✔ A rare courtyard-centered layout ✔ Resort-style outdoor living ✔ Ideal for families and group getaways ✔ Private, peaceful setting close to everything
Homes that offer this level of design, space, and atmosphere are incredibly rare at Lake Anna.
📌 Good to Know
