    Active off-market opportunities aren't published publicly

    Most quality buildable parcels in Loudoun, Fauquier, and Clarke counties never hit the MLS — they trade through relationships before they're listed. We track them, run preliminary zoning and well/septic feasibility, and share matches privately with our alert list.

    Get Notified When Matching Parcels Hit the Market

    No spam. We'll only contact you when a parcel matches your criteria — typically 1–4 alerts per quarter.

    Or call (571) 556-1900 to talk through your land search directly.

    Why we built this

    Off-market access

    We talk to landowners, brokers, and county planning staff. Most parcels we see never hit Zillow.

    Pre-vetted feasibility

    Before we share a parcel, we check zoning, soils, well/septic potential, and access — saving you weeks of due diligence.

    Build-ready intelligence

    Buying land is step one. We tell you what it'll cost to build, what it'll take to permit, and where the constraints are.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do you represent buyers on land purchases?

    No — Hearthstone Design Build is a design-build firm, not a real-estate brokerage. We routinely coordinate with land brokers and real-estate attorneys on parcels we're tracking, but the transaction itself stays with your agent and closing attorney.

    How current is the database?

    Parcel entries reflect the last time we walked or reviewed each site. Buildability signals can change with new septic rules, easement filings, or overlay updates — always verify against the current county record before making an offer.

    Can I add a parcel I own to the database?

    Yes — email info@hearthstonedesignbuild.com with the address and PIN. We may schedule a feasibility review before publishing.

    Is the database a substitute for a feasibility review?

    No. The database is a starting point that surfaces the questions worth asking. A written feasibility review is the parcel-specific due diligence — zoning, perc, well, easement, VDOT, overlay — that actually determines whether the parcel supports the program you have in mind.

    Buildable Land Database

    Northern Virginia Buildable Land Database

    A working database of rural, buildable parcels across Loudoun, Fauquier, and Clarke counties, tracked and refreshed by Hearthstone Design Build for landowners and buyers actively evaluating where to build. Every parcel we track is evaluated for the specific realities that determine whether an estate build is even feasible — zoning classification, perc/septic history, well yield, easements, VDOT entrance geometry, overlay triggers, and utility distance.

    What The Database Tracks

    • County & zoning district — AR-1, AR-2, A-3, RA, RC, and other rural classifications.
    • Acreage & buildable envelope — total acres versus the acreage actually available after easements, floodplain, RPA, and steep-slope carve-outs.
    • Perc & septic history — whether a soil evaluation has cleared and where the primary + reserve drainfields sit.
    • Well feasibility — expected yield, aquifer notes, neighbor well data where public.
    • Easements & overlays — conservation easements (VOF, PEC), historic overlays, Chesapeake Bay Act RPA, mountainside overlays.
    • Access — VDOT entrance geometry, sight distance, driveway feasibility.

    How To Use It

    1. Browse by county to see currently tracked parcels.
    2. Filter by acreage, zoning, or buildability signal.
    3. Request a feasibility review on any parcel — we run a written buildability memo before you make an offer.

    This is a working list — not a real-estate MLS clone. Hearthstone does not represent buyers or sellers in the transaction; we track parcels because we build on rural land every week, and the same due-diligence questions come up on every deal.

    Why This Matters

    The single most expensive mistake in rural Northern Virginia is closing on land before its buildability is verified. Failed perc alone routinely adds $30–60K and 60+ days to a project — and can zero out an entire site plan. Easements, overlays, and VDOT entrance geometry can quietly disqualify a parcel that looked perfect at the road. The database exists to bring that due-diligence forward, before an offer becomes a closed deal.
