About This Home
The little house that could… now a fully renovated Kerr Lake retreat with proven income and endless possibilities. Enjoy peaceful wooded privacy just minutes from Kerr Lake (Buggs Island Lake) in the waterfront town of Clarksville, Virginia. This fully furnished 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers Kerr Lake living without the waterfront price—ideal as a weekend retreat, downsizing home, property with income producing or flexible use potential. Originally a modest cottage, the home was completely renovated in 2023, taken down to the studs and rebuilt with modern finishes and a clean, comfortable design. The open layout creates an easy flow for everyday living, while large windows bring in natural light and views of the surrounding trees. The kitchen and living areas are designed for both functionality and relaxation, and the bedrooms provide quiet, comfortable spaces for family and guests. A spacious rear deck overlooks the open backyard and wooded setting, offering a private outdoor space to unwind. Located less than 2 miles from Kerr Lake access at Longwood Park, the property provides convenient access to boating, fishing, and recreation. Clarksville’s downtown—with restaurants, shops, and community events—is just minutes away. The home is being offered fully furnished, allowing for immediate enjoyment as a second home or primary residence. The property has previously been used as a short-term rental, and documentation of rental history is available for buyers who wish to explore similar use. In addition to recreational appeal, the area benefits from ongoing economic growth driven in part by expanding data infrastructure near Boydton. This supports continued demand for furnished housing from professionals working in the region, complementing traditional vacation use associated with Kerr Lake. This property offers a unique opportunity to enjoy the Kerr Lake lifestyle in a peaceful setting with convenient access to recreation, town amenities, and regional growth. Originally built in 1957 and fully rebuilt in 2023 with all new systems and finishes. Extensive 2023 renovations are not yet reflected in current tax assessment.
