Fauquier County Property

Bookmark

A defining characteristic of Fauquier County is its long and storied past. Most of the county’s communities are historically significant and there’s many a Fauquier County property that has been home to several generations.

Carved out of Prince William County and established in 1759, Fauquier takes its name from Francis Fauquier, one of the most respected among the royal governors and who was the Colony of Virginia’s Lieutenant Governor from 1758 to 1768. The area’s history dates further back to the 17th century when Captain John Smith listed its inclusion in the colony’s Northern Neck region. The events of the Civil War also left their stamp on Fauquier County Real Estate. Markers and monuments are scattered throughout the countryside and are part of the Civil War Trails.

Many of Fauquier’s towns and villages are steeped in historic charm and numerous 19th century examples of Fauquier County real estate survive to this day. If you’ve dreamed of owning a Greek Revival antebellum estate, or a Federal-style or Victorian home, a historic Fauquier County property could be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

If, on the other hand, you’d rather start fresh and build from the ground up, you’ll also find Fauquier County property that’s made up of undeveloped land. In general, most home and landowners in Fauquier are more than happy with their properties so if you decide to buy in the area, patience and a good strategy are vital.
