There are exquisite 17th, 18th and 19th century Virginia historic homes throughout the state and this is what makes Virginia such a special place to live. Virginia was home to eight American Presidents (Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, Madison, Tyler, Taylor, Harrison and Wilson) and most of their homes are open to the public.

Zachary Taylor's birthplace in Orange, Virginia was sold in December 2008 and is the last privately-owned Presidential birthplace in America. Thomas Jefferson was an inexhaustible builder with an ardent desire to make Virginia a Palladian paradise. As a self-trained architect, Jefferson designed not only extraordinary Virginia plantations but churches, court houses and his pride and joy, the University of Virginia and his home, Monticello both of which are located in Charlottesville. Charlottesville Virginia's historic homes are acclaimed through America as some of the finest Greek revival and Georgian homes in America.

While there are many fine Virginia historic homes throughout Virginia, the majority are found in Loudoun, Rappahannock, Fauquier, Orange and Albemarle Counties. Jefferson was very active in the latter two counties. Behind almost every hedgerow on any winding road in these distinguished counties is a Virginia antique home.

Most of the historic homes in Virginia that we deal-in date from 1790-1840; however there are some fabulous Italianate homes dating from the mid 1880s usually located within city limits like Charlottesville, Warrenton or Staunton.

Virginia Historic Homes offers homes that are built from 1690 to 1920.

Some of the most affordable Virginia historic properties are located in remote areas of Buckingham County and Augusta County Virginia. While their prices are 30% lower than say Charlottesville's historic homes, you get what you pay for. So if you are social don't bother with one of these wonderful homes, they are remote and lonely!
