Nestled just beyond the southern edge of Warrenton town limits, this rare 31± acre property offers an exceptional blend of privacy, character, and convenience. A solidly built stone home, constructed in 1939, stands as a timeless centerpiece—showcasing classic craftsmanship and enduring quality that is seldom found today. The home’s stone construction, original details, and sturdy design reflect the rich history of the area while providing a foundation ready for restoration, modernization, or preservation as part of a larger estate vision. Zoned R-1 and in the Warrenton Service District, the property is largely wooded with mature trees, open clearings, and gently rolling terrain that create an inviting natural landscape. The acreage provides a variety of potential uses—room for recreation, expansion, or long-term investment—while maintaining the peaceful rural feel that makes this area so desirable. The setting offers both seclusion and convenience, with direct frontage on James Madison Highway (Route 29) and quick access to Warrenton’s historic downtown, shops, dining, and commuter routes to Northern Virginia or Charlottesville. The property’s location and scale offer a unique opportunity for those seeking a private estate, equestrian retreat, or multi-generational compound. With over 31 acres of land, the possibilities are numerous: explore future development potential within existing zoning, preserve the wooded surroundings for privacy and wildlife, or simply enjoy the open spaces and history that come with this one-of-a-kind parcel. Additional adjoining property is available, creating an even larger contiguous ownership opportunity if desired. Properties of this size, location, and character are increasingly rare in Fauquier County—offering the perfect balance of countryside tranquility and modern accessibility.
