Rolling Hills Equestrian Center
Scope: 12-stall barn with attached 80×120 riding arena
Bucket: Representative — illustrates our capability in this project type; not a confirmed Hearthstone-completed build.
Project Narrative
A 12-stall equestrian barn with an attached 80×120 riding arena — representative of the post-frame agricultural structures suited to working horse properties in Fauquier County, where clear-span arenas and natural-ventilation stabling drive the program. This entry illustrates capability and is not a confirmed Hearthstone-completed build; hosted here to document how we approach Fauquier equestrian work.

How This Project Reflects Our Approach
Hearthstone Design Build organizes projects around one accountable contract — architecture, engineering, permitting, procurement, and construction under a single team. On Fauquier County projects, that means feasibility, zoning, health-department, and VDOT reviews are sequenced against the same design decisions that drive the aesthetic, so the schedule and the vision resolve together rather than colliding at permit submittal.
Every project starts with a paid feasibility review before design begins. That is the moment the site, program, and budget are reconciled — the moment when a project either moves forward with confidence or gets redirected before six figures of design fees have been spent.
