New custom homes on open Piedmont land, in town or by the lake, plus remodels and additions for the houses Orange County families already love.
Orange County, Virginia sits in the rolling Piedmont south of the Rapidan River, with the Southwest Mountains running through it, and it is a place where people tend to put down roots. Some come for a few acres of pasture with long views. Others want to be near the shops in the Town of Orange or Gordonsville, or a home on the water at Lake of the Woods. Whatever drew you here, the house you build should fit the setting as well as your family.
Spartan Homes designs and builds custom homes across the county, and our remodeling team updates and expands the homes already here. You get one builder from the first walk of your land to the day you move in, with a clear price up front and no hidden fees along the way.
Talk With Our Team
Building on open land gives you room to think big, and it also asks good questions early. Where should the house sit to catch the morning light and the best view across the fields? How long will the driveway run, and where will the well and septic go? We answer those questions with you on site before a plan is finalized, so the home is placed for how you will actually use the property.
From there, you can start with a Don Gardner, Frank Betz or Lifestyle Series plan and tailor it, or work with us on a fully custom design. A classic farmhouse with a deep wraparound porch suits the countryside around Orange and Gordonsville, while a lake lot may call for a walk-out lower level and a wall of windows. Every Spartan home is NGBS Green certified at the Silver level as a starting point, which means a tighter, more efficient house that stays comfortable through hot Virginia summers and cold winter mornings.
Our team brings 45 years of combined building experience to every home, whether it rises on farmland, in town or beside the lake.
We have built green since 2009 and have been named an NGBS Green Partner of Excellence four years in a row.
Our Spartan Standard features come included, and your home is delivered turn-key with no hidden fees.

Plenty of Orange County homeowners love where they live and simply want the house to keep up. Our remodeling team handles projects of every size, from a single bathroom to a full renovation and a new wing.
When a home has good bones and a great location, a whole-house renovation lets us rethink the layout, refresh the finishes and update the systems in one well-planned project. You keep the land and the character you chose, with a home that works for today.

The Town of Orange and Gordonsville are its historic centers, each with a downtown worth spending a Saturday in, and community names like Locust Grove, Barboursville and Rapidan are woven through the countryside between them.
History is close at hand here. Montpelier, the lifelong home of President James Madison and Dolley Madison, sits on a 2,650-acre estate in the county and is open to visitors. The county is also part of the Central Virginia wine region, with well-known names such as Barboursville Vineyards and Horton Vineyards near Gordonsville, so it is common to find vineyards and horse farms sharing the same back roads.
In the county's northeastern corner, Lake of the Woods is a private, gated lake community of roughly 2,600 acres, with a main lake, a golf course, pools, parks and walking trails. Building in a planned community like this usually means working within its own rules for design and site work, and we build that review time into the schedule. On rural land, we look closely at slope, soil, driveway access, well and septic before design begins, so your plans and budget start on solid footing.
We walk your property or lot with you, talk through how you want to live, and get a feel for your budget and timeline.
Pick a proven plan to adjust or design from scratch, then review a detailed price with no hidden fees.
We line up approvals, community review where it applies, and site work such as clearing, driveway, well and septic.
We build with regular updates and NGBS Green verification, then hand you the keys to a finished, turn-key home.
We truly love our house and we enjoy it everyday. Eric & Ed Thank You so much for all you have done for us. It was a real pleasure to work with both of you.
Cathy and I are so pleased we chose Spartan to build our home! What a pleasurable experience. Spartan built it with pride from our plans as if it was their own. The Standard package included so many items that were extra with other builders. The Price was turnkey … No Nickel and diming with change orders, etc.
We would be confident referring any family or friends to Spartan and their team. Spartan Homes did a superior job on our new home. The quality and craftsmanship was outstanding and exceeded our expectations. They were always very responsive on every email or phone call we had.
