8 acres of privacy, 15 mins from Old Town Warrenton 🌲🔑
Every so often a listing comes along that reminds me why I love this part of Virginia so much, and 5119 Old Auburn Rd in Warrenton is exactly that kind of property. I have shown a lot of homes on large lots over the years, but it is rare to find one that gives you true privacy and acreage while still keeping you close enough to town that your commute does not turn into a second job. This one manages to do both.
The property sits on nearly 8 flat, treed acres on the DC side of Warrenton, which matters more than people realize until they are the ones driving it every day. You get the feeling of being tucked away in the countryside, with ATV trails, mature trees, and wildlife right outside your window, but you are still just minutes from Old Town Warrenton. The underbrush throughout the wooded lot has been cleared, so the land is not just pretty to look at; it is actually usable. Whether that means letting the kids run around, riding ATVs, gardening, or just enjoying quiet mornings outside, this lot gives you options that most properties this close to town simply cannot offer. And there is no HOA, so however you want to enjoy the land, that choice is entirely yours.
Inside, the home lives just as big as the lot suggests. There are 8,083 finished square feet spread across three levels, and the craftsmanship shows in every room. The main level was clearly designed for both everyday life and entertaining. You have a formal dining room for the special occasions, a private office for the days you need to shut the door and focus, and an expansive sunroom that fills with natural light, the kind of room you find yourself gravitating toward without even meaning to. The family room has soaring ceilings and an electric fireplace, and it opens right into a gourmet kitchen with granite countertops and a full Thor appliance suite. If you love to cook, or you just love a kitchen that looks like it belongs in a magazine, this one will not disappoint. There is also a butler's pantry and mud room that connects seamlessly to the kitchen, and a breakfast room that overlooks the treed rear lot, which might be my favorite spot in the whole house for a slow cup of coffee.
Upstairs is where the primary suite truly shines. It has its own electric fireplace, a morning bar with a mini fridge, and four closets, one of which has a built-in laundry hookup for convenience. The ensuite bath feels like a private retreat rather than just a bathroom. Three additional bedrooms upstairs are each ensuite as well, and two of those include private sitting rooms. That kind of layout is ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or even a flexible home office setup, and it is not something I see very often in this price range.
The finished walkup lower level extends the living space even further. There is a large recreation room, a bar with a full-size fridge, a full bath, and a spacious bedroom, plus additional finished space that could easily become a media room, second office, home gym, or extra storage. It is the kind of lower level that adapts to whatever your family needs it to function as, now or down the road.
One detail I always appreciate as an agent, and that I think buyers appreciate even more, is that a completed home inspection from May 2026 is already available for review. That kind of transparency up front can make the whole process smoother for everyone involved.
And when you do want to leave the property, you do not have to go far. You are just minutes from Old Town Warrenton, with easy access to shopping at Warrenton Village Center and Northrock Shopping Center, including Harris Teeter for the everyday essentials. Local dining favorites like Denim & Pearls and Nash & Smashed are close by too, along with recreation options like the Warrenton Aquatic and Recreation Facility and Fauquier Springs Country Club. It really is the best of both worlds: country privacy with town convenience just a short drive away.
Homes that combine this much acreage, this level of craftsmanship, and this kind of commuter convenience do not come up often, and when they do, they tend not to stay on the market long. If you have been searching for space to spread out without giving up your connection to town, I would love to show you this one in person.
