Orange, VirginiaRight in the heart of Virginia, about ninety miles west of Washington D.C. is a town steeped in history, tradition and beauty. Orange is one of those places where every place your foot falls, you feel like you are walking in the shadows of great men and women. Orange is perfectly placed in the midst of Virginia's prime horse country, surpasses anything Lexington, Kentucky can offer. Orange is situated in the heart of the finest fox hunting country that is offered here in the United States, and has more stables than almost any other county in the country! The real estate is considered by many to be the most elegant and historic real estate in the country. James Madison, the Father of The Constitution, made his home here, as did many of his political cronies. Most homes here are historic and are located on broad, tree-lined streets, which are quiet. As one takes a stroll on the sidewalks, you can bask in the sense of history that is felt with all these homes. Many homes here do not sell for under $600,000. Most homes sell for over one million and others for closer to two million. Most homes are true "homesteads" with large tracts of land, ponds and formal gardens. Homes located in the city limits themselves, tend to sell for a little less, around $550,000. There is so much to do here. If golf is your sport there are many top quality golf courses to choose from. Many stables around offer an array of equestrian techniques from dressage, to side-saddle, English and show jumping. Fox hunting is also practiced here. For the sightseer and the history buff, Orange and the surrounding communities are a dream come true. With General Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson both having been in the region, there is plenty to experience to get a feel for these men and their convictions. While in the area you may wish to visit local wineries, there are six in the immediate location. Other places of interest are Monticello, Montpelier and Civil War battlefields. Someone once said that climate is the key that unlocks Paradise, and truly this is applicable to Orange, for here are blended all those natural resources that make for a fuller enjoyment of your life...four seasons.

Sharing a cosmopolitan passion for horses and genteel farming, Orange encompasses all the characteristics expected of a Southern town; yet close to Washington, D.C. and Charlottesville. It's a splendid place to realize your equestrian dreams. So escape the hustle and bustle of city life and find a little piece of heaven to call your own.
