Farms & Equestrian Properties

Welcome To Virginia’s Horse Country

main

I am privileged to have called the Warrenton area home since 2002, and have a genuine appreciation for the country lifestyle that makes this region so special. Whether you're searching for a home with elbow room, a horse farm, a luxury estate, or a quaint home uptown, I will work to make your experience smooth, informed, and successful.

Horses drew me to Fauquier County in 2002 and have shaped the way I see land, the way I evaluate a farm and the way I connect with clients who love this lifestyle as much as I do. When I am not out selling homes, you'll likely find me on my 22 acre farm caring for my horses and goats, or tending my gardens. Whenever possible, I am trail riding, taking dressage lessons, exploring local wineries, hiking with Henry—my Miniature American Shepherd—or out with friends soaking in Virginia's beautiful countryside.

Community has always been at the heart of who I am. Through organizations like my church, the Ruritans, Old People's Riding Club and the Fauquier Equestrian Forum, I’ve developed valuable lifelong friendships and local connections. Giving back to the community genuinely matters, and I’ve been blessed to help homeless and local families in need while serving on the BOD of Community Touch, as well as volunteering with Rainbow Therapeutic Riding.

My real estate career is built on relationships, trust, and service. I'd be delighted to learn more about you and your real estate goals. I’m prepared and ready to help you step into your new life.

I'm Living the Dream — And I Want to Help You Find Yours

I've been on a horse since I was five years old. That's not a marketing line—it's just true. Horses have shaped the way I see land, the way I evaluate a farm, and the way I connect with clients who love this lifestyle as much as I do.

I'm Robin Garbe, a REALTOR® with Century 21 New Millennium, and I've called the Warrenton area home since 2005. I own two horses. I ride on my farm just outside of town. I serve on the board of the Old Peoples Riding Club, support the Fauquier Equestrian Forum, and volunteer with Rainbow Therapeutic Riding in Haymarket because giving back to the horse community genuinely matters to me.

When you're looking for an equestrian REALTOR® in Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper, or Loudoun County, you deserve someone who has actually mucked stalls, evaluated footing, and understands what it takes to run a horse operation in Virginia. I'm that person.

I don't just sell horse properties—I live on one. And I've spent the better part of two decades getting to know every corner of this incredible landscape.

My motto? You get out of life what you put into it. I bring that same energy to every buyer and seller I work with. Whether you're searching for a hunt country estate, a working farm, or land with trail access and room to breathe, I'd love to help you find it.

What to Love About Equestrian Life Here

Virginia's Piedmont — the rolling landscape between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Washington suburbs — is one of the most celebrated equestrian regions in the entire country. Here's what makes owning a horse property here so extraordinary:

1
A Living, Breathing Hunt Country Tradition
Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper, and Loudoun Counties are the living heart of American fox hunting and horse country culture. This isn't nostalgia — it's an active, year-round way of life, with hunts, horse shows, races, and polo woven into the fabric of every community. When you own land here, you're part of something with deep roots and a vibrant present.
2
Four-Season Riding in Spectacular Scenery
Virginia's Piedmont gives you lush green springs, warm summers, brilliant fall foliage, and mild winters that allow for consistent riding nearly year-round. The backdrop — views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, rolling hills, historic stone walls, and pastoral farmland — is genuinely unmatched. This is country that feeds the soul.
3
Land That Still Makes Sense
Compared to Wellington or Middleburg's most exclusive pockets, Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper, and Loudoun still offer properties where the acreage, the improvements, and the price actually align — especially when you work with someone who knows how to evaluate what you're truly getting. Horse-improved properties are my specialty for exactly that reason.
4
The Competitions Are Right Out Your Back Door
The Virginia Gold Cup. The Warrenton Horse Show. Upperville. Great Meadow. The International Gold Cup. Some of the most storied equestrian events in America happen right here, within 30 minutes of most farms in this region. For serious competitors, that proximity is priceless.
5
A Community That Gets It
In 21 years of living here, I've never stopped being grateful for the people this area attracts. Farmers, Olympians, weekend trail riders, young families, lifelong horsemen — the equestrian community in Northern Virginia's hunt country is welcoming, knowledgeable, and deeply proud of what makes this place special.
6
Top-Tier Equine Services Nearby
World-class veterinary care, respected farriers, talented trainers, excellent feed stores, and iconic tack shops — the full ecosystem of equestrian support is right here. You won't be hauling hours to find expertise.
7
Close to Everything, Feel Like You're Far Away
Warrenton sits roughly an hour from Washington, D.C. That means clients can have a working horse farm — real pastures, real barns, real countryside — without sacrificing access to a major metro area, Dulles International Airport, or all the professional opportunities that come with it.

Equestrian Associations & Organizations

The hunt country of Northern Virginia is held together by a remarkable network of organizations that have preserved this way of life for generations. These are the groups at the heart of our equestrian community:

What Makes Virginia Hunt Country Special

I've been soaking up everything this area has to offer since 2005, and I still feel lucky to live here every single day. Here's why horse people keep finding their way to Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper, and Loudoun Counties—and why so many of them never leave:

1
This Is the Heart of American Hunt Country
Fauquier County alone has more foxhunting history than almost anywhere else in America. Add Rappahannock, Culpeper, and Loudoun to the mix, and you have a region where equestrian traditions run generations deep. The community that keeps them alive is thriving, not fading. When you own land here, you're part of something that truly matters.
2
Four Seasons of Riding in Country That Takes Your Breath Away
Rolling hills, Blue Ridge Mountain views, stone walls, historic estates, open meadows, and forests that turn golden in October—this is Virginia at its most beautiful. And because our winters are relatively mild, I'm able to ride through most of the year. You can too.
3
Every Discipline Is Welcome Here
Foxhunting, dressage, hunter/jumper, eventing, steeplechase, trail riding, polo—whatever your passion, there's a community for it within 30 minutes of Warrenton. I've watched this area attract Olympic-level riders and weekend trail enthusiasts alike, and both feel completely at home here.
4
Properties That Still Make Sense
Compared to some of the more famous equestrian destinations around the country, you can still find meaningful acreage with genuine horse improvements at prices that make sense—especially when you work with an equestrian real estate agent who knows how to evaluate what a property is truly worth, barn by barn and pasture by pasture.
5
World-Class Events, Right Down the Road
The Virginia Gold Cup. The Warrenton Horse Show. Upperville. The International Gold Cup at Great Meadow. Some of the most storied equestrian events in America happen right here in my backyard. If you're a competitor, that proximity can make all the difference.
6
Close Enough to the City, Far Enough From It
Warrenton sits about an hour from Washington, D.C. My clients come from all over because they want a real farm, real countryside, and a genuine horse lifestyle—but they don't want to disappear from the world. This area offers the best of both, and it does so beautifully.

Your Local Expert for Equestrian Real Estate in Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper & Loudoun County

Equestrian and farm properties are not standard real estate transactions. The value is in the pastures, the footing, the barn infrastructure, the water access, the fencing, the trail easements, the zoning, and all the things that don't fit neatly into an MLS data field. A generalist agent can't evaluate what they haven't lived — and they can't communicate that value to buyers who are counting on them to get it right.

I've been riding horses since I was five years old. I've lived on and around horse farms in this area for 21 years. I own two horses. I know what a well-built barn actually costs to replicate. I know what good footing looks like versus what photographs well. I know the equestrian communities across Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper, and Loudoun Counties the way only someone who has ridden, volunteered, and built friendships here for over two decades can.

My clients describe me as "an ally and guide," "communicative," "knowledgeable," and "down-to-earth." That's not accidental. It comes from genuinely caring about getting the right outcome — not just closing a transaction.

My motto is simple: You get out of life what you put into it. I put everything into every client I serve.

Whether you're searching for a hunt country estate in Fauquier, a secluded retreat in Rappahannock, working farmland in Culpeper, or an equestrian property in Loudoun County — I'm ready to get to work for you.
