A Waterfront Community on Lake Anna

Why invest in Noah’s Landing?

• It’s a good time to buy. We are still at pre-construction pricing. Prices will increase when our first waterfront common area has been completed.

• Location Location Location!

• Louisa County – lower taxes and no Chesapeake Bay Act to restrict shoreland clearing
• Eastern end of Lake Anna – very close to Richmond, Fredericksburg, and I-95
• Located close to where water returns to the main lake – so the temperature difference is only a few degrees
• Many lots have wonderful vistas – including sunrise and sunset views
• Within 2.5 miles of the Lake Anna Rescue Squad HQ, the Bumpass Fire Department, the Bumpass Post Office and the Bumpass-Buckner Recreational Park

• Excellent Investment
• Appreciation on waterfront land has averaged over 10%, compounded, for over 20 years
• Appreciation may accelerate due to the lack of land to develop – just look at Deep Creek Lake where lot prices are double to triple those of Lake Anna
• Most waterfront purchasers in Noah’s have already seen six-figure appreciation
• Appreciation is typically better in ‘high end’ communities – and Noah’s is the premier community on Lake Anna
• There will be more million dollar homes in Noah’s than any other community on Lake Anna
• Lake Anna homes rent well
• It is significantly more practical to buy a lot and build a home – most ‘nice’ waterfront homes sell for a six-figure premium over the cost of the lot + home construction. Thus, if you build intelligently you will have exactly what you want and a significant built in gain.
• With Noah’s mass drainfield system (applies to 75 of our 205 home sites) the number of bedrooms is not restricted by your septic field. A five or six bedroom home will typically appraise for much more than a three or four bedroom home with the same square footage!

• Private Side of Lake Anna
• Not crowded – there is no public access – only owners and their guests. Public side of Lake Anna is VERY crowded on the weekends!
• Safer – and the Virginia Dept. of Game & Inland Fisheries accident report proves it! Copy available upon request.
• Water is maintained at a higher level than the public side during droughts
• Warmer water of the upper two cooling lagoons (reachable by boat from Noah’s) permits ‘water play’ during the cooler months and extends the boating season by over a month in the spring & fall.

• Amenities – far more than any other Lake Anna community
• Walking, biking trail – many owners will be able to ride their golf cart down to Common Area ‘A’ (we will rename it when built)
• Open space common areas – approx. 30 acres in 5 common areas, including two on the waterfront!
• User friendly & family friendly facilities:
  • Bathrooms/changing rooms in each waterfront common area
  • Boat slips will have electric lifts, an electric outlet, and lighting
  • ‘bring your own propane’ gas grills will be located around each of the 4 pavilions
  • Both waterfront common areas will have a boat launch, boat slips, ample parking, beach, volleyball, and horseshoe areas in addition to a ‘commercial’ playground
  • Pool, tennis court, basketball court
  • Designated ‘dog run’ area
• Themed subdivision – road names and signage will also reflect the Noah’s theme – so you can expect an ark in the playground!

• ‘Buyer Protection’ for values, views and privacy – unique to Noah’s!
• Covenants that require ‘upscale’ homes, yet are reasonable for our owners. Driveways and buildings are required to be set further inside each lot than other subdivisions – enhancing privacy.
• What you see is what you get:
  • more extensive view easements than any other subdivision – no ‘spring surprises’ – where you return to your lake home only to find that your neighbor will block your view with a new row of trees, planted for ‘their’ privacy
  • defined ‘waterspace’ for each waterfront owner to put their pier and other amenities – again no ‘surprises’ – without this protection many owners in other communities have learned the hard way that water space is ‘first come, first served’
  • dredging has been done by the developer – every waterfront lot can put a pier – and they don’t need to extend far into the water to reach a reasonable depth
• No unused utility easements to limit your ability to install fences or enlarge drainfields. Just look closely at the plat before you buy in another subdivision!
• Underground utilities required – main trunk lines are already installed
• Cove lots, with houses and piers relatively close together, have rental ability limited to 3 weeks a year (this can be waived by neighbors). Rental homes can be VERY bothersome. We are the only community on Lake Anna to have this protection.

One of the builders in Noah’s Landing is Plumtree Properties.

John Howard “Jay” Scheurenbrand is a life-long resident of Louisa County. He has worked in the forest products industry since childhood. Starting at the age of ten, he planted trees for the Department of Forestry and to date has planted more than 800k loblolly pine trees in Louisa County. Throughout high school he worked as the Foreman of the Louisa Boys Forestry Crew planting trees, marking timber, mapping, and prescribe burning. This experience, together with the teachings of his father, a Louisa County Forester for 31 years, provided him with an extensive knowledge of proper forest management.

Shortly after high school, Jay worked for Thacker and Thacker framing houses and soon progressed to the trim crew where he was taught by a master carpenter who still cut material with the use of hand saws. At the age of 19, he started his own Construction Company, framing houses, garages, and building over 30 log homes and cabins in Louisa and surrounding counties.

With the slow down in construction during the late 1980’s, Jay decided to form a logging outfit to complement the construction company. He ran both companies for a few years until he was recruited by Lanny Woolfolk of Tradewinds of Virginia, a retail building Supply Company. After constructing the facility, Jay then assumed management of the store. In that capacity, he was responsible for purchasing, inventory, contractor sales, over the counter sales, and blueprint take-offs among many other things. It was here that he gained his knowledge and experience of buying “right”.

In 1996, Jay’s entrepreneurial spirit took over and he ventured back out on his own. He re-opened his construction company under the name Plumbline Construction and spent the next 6 years building Bulkheads and boathouses, installing beaches and boat ramps, and framing and siding houses for several local builders.

In 2002, the nationally recognized builder, Randy Rinehart, came knocking. He offered Jay the position of Project Manager and after 5 years Jay was made Vice President of Rinehartt Custom Homes. There he and his staff built homes and remodels ranging from 800k to 3m construction cost.

In 2008, Lanny Woolfolk and John Romano offered Jay the opportunity to head the Architecture Review Committee for Noah’s Landing subdivision where he currently reviews all the plan submittals.

In 2009, due to the economic slow down, Jay elected to step down from his position at Rinehart Custom Homes. “It was either me or several members of the staff. I couldn’t bear to see those that I care about get layed off. My faith tells me that God will provide”.

Jay opened Plum Tree Properties early in 2009 and is currently building two water front homes on the private side of Lake Anna in Noah’s Landing subdivision. He also has several smaller jobs in process including two remodels and one two-level addition.

Jay builds with uncompromised quality and a commitment to excellence ensuring that every detail of construction meets his rigorous standards. His principles of impeccable honesty, attention to detail, and dedication to doing things right the first time, have gained him a first-rate reputation in the community. As a result, Plum Tree Properties has a very promising future.
