FAQ – Slope, Buildability & Infrastructure
Can I build right away?
- Yes. Each lot is perced for a 2-bedroom home, and the package qualifies for two buildable sites (minimum 2 adjacent lots per HOA rule). All 4 lots are being sold together.
- Is the land flat?
The lots are gently sloped toward the lake, which creates elevated water views and is ideal for walkout basements, multi-level decks, and terraced landscaping. Grading and foundation work are typical for lakefront builds and priced accordingly.
- What utilities are available?
Electric: Rappahannock Electric Cooperative
Internet: Firefly Fiber Internet is accessible nearby
Water/Sewer: Buyers will install private wells and septic systems (perc-approved)
- Can I use gas-powered boats?
No. White Oak Lake is an electric-motor-only lake. This ensures peace, clean water, and a quiet, nature-first experience.
