Exclusive Equestrian Listings in Charlottesville & Central Virginia

Private Opportunities for Discerning Buyers & Exceptional Properties

Some equestrian properties are best matched quietly—through intentional marketing, curated outreach, and a high level of discretion. From private horse farms with professional training amenities to storied country acreage with architectural character, these exclusive listings represent the most refined equestrian lifestyle in Charlottesville and Central Virginia.

Each offering is carefully positioned, intelligently marketed, and handled with the highest level of professionalism—connecting extraordinary properties with buyers who truly value land, horses, and the rhythm of country life.

Why Our Exclusive Equestrian Listings Stand Out

  • Discreet, targeted marketing: Ideal for sellers who prefer a quieter path to serious, qualified buyers.
  • Magazine-quality presentation: Professional photography, custom brochures, and narrative-driven descriptions for each farm.
  • Local & regional reach: Leveraging McLean Faulconer’s buyer network and Bridget’s equestrian connections.
  • Buyer-focused guidance: Personalized support for out-of-area and local equestrian buyers seeking the right fit.
