Farms, Wineries and Vineyards

Virginia’s 42,000 miles are defined by the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Chesapeake Bay. The temperate climate has lent itself to prosperous farmland for hundreds of years, producing a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, as well as world renowned wines. The first estates built in the state of Virginia were likely large plantations; Virginia was known early on for its tobacco production. Today, Virginia’s agriculture accounts for $52 billion a year, and over 310,000 jobs. The average farm in the US is about three times the size of farms in 1900 – from 150 acres to 440 acres.

In the past thirty years the viticulture has exploded across the state. In 1979 Virginia had just six wineries to its name, now there are more than 250! There are nine different regions and 7 AVAs that produce over 55 different varietals of grapes. Most often, accompanying the vineyard and or winery is an estate that includes a main house, guest house/managers house and a tasting room. More and more people are establishing vineyards and wineries on their property to include with their estates to increase the value and income potential. In 2012 Wine Enthusiast Magazine named Virginia one of the top ten wine destinations in the world.

Horse Farms

The equine industry is quite large in Virginia as well, and seemingly a large amount of estates are also labeled as horse farms. About 1,200 horse shows and events took place in Virginia in 2014, and these generated around 25 million dollars. So whether you are looking to board your own horses, or enjoy horses and would like to turn a profit by creating a horse boarding farm on your estate, many estates have barns already on the property that can be converted to suit your needs. Here are a few things to keep you and your horses busy:

  • Virginia Gold Cup – Steeplechase Racing
  • Virginia Horse Show Association Championships
  • Hear the Beat Horse Show
  • Middlebrook Horse Show

Sure, you might like an estate that can house you and your horse, but you might be wondering where the two of you can go to get some fresh air. Luckily, Virginia has plenty of trail riding across the entire state. From state parks, to farms and ranches, or even resorts, there are plenty of places in Virginia that are ready and willing to welcome you and your four legged friend.

Luxury Homes and Estates

In the early 2000’s many contractors took to building quite luxurious homes and estates. Often times these homes will be upwards of 6,000 square feet and have a decent amount of acreage to accompany the home. When looking into these luxurious properties, there are some things that the house will almost always have, such as new appliances, high ceilings, 5+ bedrooms and baths, etc. A guest house, a pool, a lake, mountain views and more. Although many of these homes are newer, there are some historic estates that have been updated to the fullest extent. These homes generally range from two million to more than ten million, depending on what you are looking for.
