Homes for Sale in Warrenton, VA

Fauquier County’s historic seat, horse country charm about 45 miles from DC.

There are 180 homes for sale in Warrenton, VA right now, from townhomes a few minutes from Old Town to farms and acreage out toward the edges of Fauquier County. I’m Amanda White with Countdown to Keys, and I help buyers and sellers here with real comparables and a straight answer on what a property is worth.

Warrenton is the county seat of Fauquier County, a historic town built around horse country, vineyards, and a walkable Old Town, roughly 45 miles southwest of DC. It draws buyers who want a genuine small-town feel with real acreage nearby, not a subdivision dressed up to look rural.

Warrenton real estate runs from older homes near Old Town to acreage out toward the rest of Fauquier, and pricing can swing a lot between the two.

Warrenton’s market can change from one street to the next, and again once you’re past the town limits. I keep close track of what’s selling, what’s sitting and why, so buyers can write confident offers and sellers can price right from day one. Every client gets real comparables, an honest read on value, and a plan that fits their goals.

Town of Warrenton vs. a Warrenton Address

A Warrenton mailing address (20186 or 20187) covers a lot more ground than the town itself. Inside the town limits you’ll generally have public water and sewer, town services, and a town real estate tax on top of the Fauquier County tax. Outside the limits, a Warrenton address can mean five acres on a gravel road with a well, a septic system and county taxes only.

Two homes with the same ZIP and the same list price can cost very different amounts to own. I pull the tax record and the utility details on every home before you write an offer, so the monthly number you’re planning around is the real one.

What I Check Before You Buy in Warrenton

I’m an investor myself, with residential and multi-family property of my own, so I look at a Fauquier County home the way I’d look at one I was buying. Here’s what I’m checking before you commit:

  • Well and septic. Well yield and a water quality test, a septic inspection, and whether the septic permit on file actually matches the number of bedrooms being sold.
  • Land use taxation. A lot of Fauquier parcels are taxed at use value for farming or forestry. If that use changes after closing, roll-back taxes can come due, so we settle who pays them up front.
  • Conservation easements. Plenty of land around Warrenton is under easement. That keeps the views open, and it can also limit subdividing, adding a second home, or certain uses. I read the deed and the easement before you fall in love with the barn.
  • Internet at the address. High-speed coverage changes road to road out in the county. If you work from home, we confirm the provider for that exact property.
  • Private roads and HOAs. Many rural neighborhoods share a private road. I find the maintenance agreement so you know who pays to plow and repave it.
  • Your real commute. US-29, US-17 and US-15 all meet in Warrenton, and I-66 is roughly 15 to 20 minutes north. The nearest VRE station is Broad Run in Bristow. Drive it at rush hour before you sign anything.

New Construction in Warrenton

New construction makes up a real share of what’s for sale here right now. Keep in mind the builder’s sales rep works for the builder, and the purchase contract is the builder’s own paperwork, not a standard resale form. I’ll go through the deposit terms, the build timeline and the final walkthrough with you.

Warrenton Real Estate FAQ

How many homes are for sale in Warrenton, VA right now?

As of October 1, 2026, Bright MLS shows 180 active listings with a Warrenton address in Fauquier County, plus 24 homes under contract. That includes 26 new construction homes and 17 land listings. The gallery on this page updates daily.

Is a Warrenton address the same as living in the Town of Warrenton?

No. Warrenton mailing addresses (20186 and 20187) reach well past the town limits. Inside the town you will generally have public water and sewer and pay a town real estate tax on top of the Fauquier County tax. Outside the limits it is usually well, septic and county tax only. Amanda White at Countdown to Keys checks the tax record and utilities on every home before an offer.

Are most homes in Warrenton on well and septic?

Homes inside the town limits are mostly on public water and sewer. Once you are out in the county, plan on a private well and septic system. Get a well yield test, a water quality test and a septic inspection, and confirm the septic permit matches the bedroom count.

How far is Warrenton from Washington, DC?

Warrenton is about 45 miles southwest of DC. US-29, US-17 and US-15 meet here, and I-66 is roughly 15 to 20 minutes north. The closest VRE commuter rail station is Broad Run in Bristow. Rush hour drive times vary a lot, so test your real commute before you buy.

Can I buy land or acreage near Warrenton?

Yes. There are 17 active land listings in Warrenton as of October 1, 2026, and more across Fauquier County. Before you buy, check for a conservation easement, confirm whether the parcel is in land use taxation (roll-back taxes can come due if the use changes), and make sure a perc test or septic approval is in place for the house you want to build.

Are there new construction homes in Warrenton?

Yes, 26 new construction homes were listed in Warrenton as of October 1, 2026. Builder contracts are written by the builder and differ from a standard resale contract, so have your own agent review deposits, timelines and the final walkthrough.
