Midland, VA

Midland is a quiet rural community in southern Fauquier County, surrounded by open pastures, working farms, and historic country homes. Originally established in the 1870s as a railroad stop roughly halfway between Washington, D.C., and Orange, the area offers a relaxed lifestyle with plenty of open space. Outdoor recreation is close by, with locals heading to C.M. Crockett Park to fish, kayak, or hike trails around Germantown Lake. Between the surrounding horse farms, the small Warrenton-Fauquier Airport, and the easy drive to shops and restaurants in Warrenton, Midland appeals to anyone seeking countryside privacy close to everyday conveniences.
