Lake homes on Lake Anna, farmhouses on open acreage, and remodels in Louisa, Mineral and the communities between them.
Louisa County has been home to Virginians since 1742, and it still feels like a place where people plant roots. Much of it is open country, with rolling pasture, hardwood ridges and long gravel drives. Then there's Lake Anna along its northern edge, where weekend cabins have slowly turned into full-time homes. Between the towns of Louisa and Mineral and crossroads communities like Bumpass, Gum Spring, Trevilians and Zion Crossroads, there are a lot of ways to live here.
Spartan Homes builds and remodels throughout the county. Some clients come to us with a waterfront lot and a clear picture of the deck they want. Others have twenty acres and a rough sketch on a napkin, or a family home in town that needs more room. In every case you work with the same small team from the first conversation to the day you get your keys.

The land shapes the house. On a lake lot, the work is about views, walkout basements and getting the most out of every foot of shoreline frontage. On country acreage, it might mean a wraparound porch facing the sunset, a detached shop for equipment, or a layout that lets one level handle everyday living. We help you place the house on the site before we settle on a single room.
Start with a Don Gardner, Frank Betz or Lifestyle Series plan and make it your own, or design one from scratch with us. Every home we build uses NGBS Green Silver as its starting point and includes our Spartan Standard mid-grade features, so the things most families ask for are already in the price. It's turn-key, with no hidden fees.
Many of our past clients built waterfront homes at Lake Anna, and several of them share their experience in the reviews on this page.
We've been a green builder since 2009 and an NGBS Green Partner of Excellence four years running, so efficiency is built in from the framing up.
Owner Eric Henry was an Army Apache crew chief during Desert Storm. He brings that same focus and follow-through to every house we build.
With 45 years of combined experience behind our estimates, we deliver turn-key homes with no hidden fees and specifications spelled out up front.
Louisa County homes come in every shape: lake cottages from the early days of Lake Anna, brick ranches in town, and farmhouses that have been in the family for generations. When a house you love no longer fits the way you live, we remodel it so it works for the years ahead.
A lake cottage becoming a full-time home, or a farmhouse getting ready for its next generation, usually needs more than new paint. We plan layout, insulation, mechanicals and finishes as one project so the whole house comes together.

We open up cramped kitchens, add islands and pantries, and run lighting and power where you actually need them. At the lake, that often means turning the kitchen toward the water so the cook doesn't miss the view.

From a guest bath that sees heavy summer traffic to a primary suite with a walk-in shower, we build bathrooms with solid ventilation and finishes that hold up to everyday use.

Room to spread out is one of the best parts of living here. We add primary suites, guest wings, second stories and sunrooms, matching the rooflines and materials so the addition looks original.

Across three earthen dikes sits the Waste Heat Treatment Facility, better known as the private side or the warm side. It has no public access points and lies entirely in Louisa County, which draws buyers looking for a quieter stretch of water. Whether your lot is on the public or private side, we can help you plan a home that suits it.
Away from the water, the county is rich farm country. The Green Springs National Historic Landmark District, near Trevilians, covers about 14,000 acres of rolling pasture dotted with historic manor houses, barns and outbuildings. Listed in 1974, it became the first rural National Historic Landmark district. The South Anna River winds through the county too, and older homes from the 1700s and 1800s still stand along its back roads.
The towns have their own character. Louisa, the county seat, grew up around a courthouse established in 1742 and later along the Virginia Central Railroad. Mineral, first known as Tolersville, took its present name in 1902 at the height of the area's mining boom. Interstate 64 crosses the southern part of the county, and plenty of families now live here full time.
Tell us about your lot or acreage, how you want to use it, and what matters most, whether that's the view, the privacy or the shop out back.
Choose a proven plan, adjust one, or design from scratch, with a written specification that shows exactly what's included.
We work out the house position, driveway, well and septic or other utilities early, so there are fewer surprises once building starts.
We build to NGBS Green standards, keep you posted along the way, and hand you a finished, turn-key home.
We purchased a water front lot at Lake Anna in April 2014 After interviewing several area builders, my husband and I contracted with Spartan Homes, Inc. in June 2014 to build our new home. Ed Cofsky and Eric Henry, the principals of Spartan Homes, are both fantastic to work with, extremely knowledgeable and professional.
My husband and I both agree that Spartan excelled and exceeded our expectations. We are both very pleased with Spartan’s professionalism, punctuality and precision in their work...
