History
A Barn with a Story
Long before Dakota Springs, horses were already part of the story of this land.
The historic stable associated with the original Dakota property dates to approximately 1900, with architectural evidence suggesting portions of its history may reach back even further.
Its distinctive Queen Anne architecture, including its recognizable dovecote turrets, made the stable significant enough to be included as a contributing structure when Dakota was listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register and National Register of Historic Places.
In the early 2000s, the property became associated with longtime Warrenton horseman Ernest M. “Ernie” Oare and Dakota Farm. The stable underwent an extensive rehabilitation while retaining the architectural elements that give it its historic character.
The Oare family’s deep involvement in Virginia’s hunter and equestrian community continued the property’s longstanding connection to horses and Fauquier County’s equestrian heritage.
Today, Lot 7 offers the opportunity to carry that story forward.
Your plan, your timing
Building at Dakota
Lot 7 isn’t about choosing between an equestrian property and a custom homesite. It can be both.
Enjoy the barn, riding ring and acreage from day one while creating a home designed specifically for the setting. Bring a plan you love, bring your ideas, or work with F & R Development to design something entirely custom.
If a residence is constructed on Lot 7, F & R Development must serve as the builder, and the home must comply with applicable Dakota Springs Covenants & Restrictions and required architectural approvals.
