Nestled in the rolling farmlands of Orange County, Virginia, life slows down in the best possible way. Here, it’s not unusual to wake up to the soft hum of song sparrows on the rooftops, a calm breeze rustling the trees, and the sun cresting over acres of lush green fields. It’s a place where you can spread out, breathe deeply, and embrace the dream of country living.
Imagine having endless acres of your own land to build a stunning home, complete with a wraparound porch overlooking a peaceful meadow, or perhaps a barn for your horse. Life in Orange County means no neighbors peeking over the fence and no traffic jams to steal your time.
The true beauty of living in Orange County is that it offers the best of both worlds; peaceful rural charm at home, with the energy and excitement of Fredericksburg just down the road. This historic town combines charm and modern flair, with something for everyone. From lively beer and wine festivals to art shows and outdoor concerts, there’s always a reason to celebrate. Around the holidays, locals gather for events like “The Winter Wine Festival”, the “Oyster Shell Nativity” in Mimi’s Vintage Cottage, & plenty of winter wonderland pop-ups for the whole family to enjoy! Then in May, “Grottoes Bluegrass Festival” rolls around to kick off the summer with some lively string band music! Foodies can indulge in a thriving culinary scene, from cozy cafés like the “Mason-Dixon Café” to award-winning restaurants like “La Petite Auberge” & “Orofino” offering everything from incredible atmosphere to authentic cuisine. And for those who love craft beer, you can’t go wrong with one of the many local breweries in Fredericksburg like “Maltese Brewing Co”, “Strangeways Brewing” & “Red Dragon Brewery” just to name a few.
If you’re in the mood to step out but want to stay close to home, there’s no shortage of things to do right around the corner. Downtown Orange hosts their annual Orange Street Festival, packed with food trucks, local vendors, and live music. Your whole family can savor some Blue Ridge Cider Donuts, browse for unique hand-crafted candles, and dance and sing your way through the festivities! A visit to the James Madison Museum is a must while living in Orange. Dive into the life and legacy of the Father of the Constitution while exploring fascinating exhibits that bring the past to life. Afterward, stroll over to the Art Center on Main Street to admire local creativity, where every piece tells a story as vibrant as the town’s rich history. Orange is brimming with experiences, offering a delightful mix of wineries, orchards, craft breweries, delicious restaurants, and charming antique shops just waiting to be explored!
We are thrilled to begin building our two newest communities in Orange County, Virginia; Pleasant Valley Estates & Marquis Estates. Both offer spacious 2 to 4-acre lots, delivering the ideal setting for your contemporary dream home. What’s special about the location is that you’ll be tucked away behind tree-lined woods, offering privacy and tranquility while still remaining close to essential conveniences like grocery stores, dining options, and recreational spots, including Lake Anna. We are also bringing one of our most popular floor plans, the single-level living, to both of these new neighborhoods, with homestyles like the Bridgewater, the Wingate and the Ella to name a few. Each main level design boasts its own unique features like a front deck, screened-in porch, two walk-in closets, a three car garage, and plenty more!
