Make your home in Fauquier County, Virginia, where you’ll get all the benefits of country life without straying too far from major cities. This is horse and wine country, where the pace of life slows just enough to let you soak in vistas of rolling fields, visit historic sites, sample your way through local wineries, and maybe catch a twilight polo game. In case you need the amenities that urban areas offer, just hop on interstate 66 and get to a big city in no time.
Find property with plenty of land in the small agricultural community of Marshall, where the quaint old town is home to Fauquier County’s Heritage and Preservation Foundation. Marshall boasts some of the best schools in the county, as well as an impressive culinary scene. Move to the area and become a regular at Field & Main, named one of the best restaurants in Northern Virginia.
Another great area to settle down in Fauquier County? The town of Warrenton, which is a popular destination for those wishing to escape D.C. thanks to its lively downtown full of eateries and small businesses, idyllic setting, and abundance of family-owned vineyards. There’s plenty of town lore to learn about in Warrenton (which was founded in the early 19th century) at the Fauquier History Museum in the old jail. On the outskirts of Warrenton you’ll have the greatest chance of stumbling upon affordable housing. Find a comfortable townhouse or purchase a colonial-style single-family home just outside of the historic downtown.
As far as the wine scene goes, there’s no better place in the state to sip on everything from Riesling and Chardonnay to Syrah and Cab Franc. Make your way along the Fauquier County wine trail, starting from Warrenton, and make sure to stop by a couple of local breweries and cideries, too.
When you’re not enjoying local wine or discovering the area’s wide array of dining options, make the most of all the opportunities for outdoor recreation in Fauquier County. Hike a stretch of the Appalachian Trail, visit the Warrenton water park, or spend the day fishing at one of several picturesque lakes. If you’re a fan of all things equestrian, head on over to the Great Meadows Event Center, which hosts the Virginia Gold Cup and International Gold Cup, along with twilight polo and international competitions.
Once you’ve spent some time near Bealeton, you’ll think of every Sunday afternoon from May through October as The Flying Circus Airshow time. Glimpse parachute jumpers, daredevils hanging from the wings of planes, and vintage biplanes spinning through the sky in a dazzling spectacle.
Living in Fauquier County, you’ll enjoy pleasant weather year-round, plenty of indoor and outdoor activities to keep you busy, and laid-back countryside communities that will make you feel right at home. With the availability of different-sized homes with significant acreage in an affordable housing market, there’s really no better place to buy property.
