Meadows at Morris Farm - Homes for Sale - Gainesville, VA

The Meadows at Morris Farm is a serene 660-home community in Gainesville, VA, surrounded by 268 acres of common area and interconnected by over 4,000 square yards of walking trails. It’s a truly peaceful enclave that offers a perfect escape from city life.

The community features a diverse range of single-family homes built starting in 2004 by builders such as Brookfield, Craftmark, and Richmond American.

Unexpected encounters with neighboring cows add a touch of rural charm to this suburban oasis and the entire community delivers a comfortable and stylish living experience.

Morris Farm History 

The neighborhood's history is deeply rooted in its namesake, Morris Farm. The original farmhouse, a striking landmark still standing at the community’s highest point, was constructed in 1857. Its subsequent restoration has preserved a piece of local heritage. Dr. Douglas Morris, a beloved family physician who served the Warrenton community, was the farm’s late owner.

Historical records indicate the Morris homestead originally encompassed 100 acres, including a farmhouse, barn, smokehouse, privy, and outdoor kitchen. The property evolved with the addition of indoor plumbing, a first-floor sitting room, and a second-floor bedroom in 1910. Dr. Morris himself oversaw a major renovation in 1976, which included the creation of a dining room. To this day, this historic farmhouse remains a cherished symbol of the community’s past.

Gainesville History

Gainesville owes its name to Thomas Brawner Gaines, a Welshman who lived from 1814 to 1856. To secure the construction of a train depot on his property, Gaines granted the railroad a right-of-way, stipulating that the station bear his name.

Before becoming Gainesville, the town held two other brief monikers. Due to its position between Bull Run and Broad Run, it was initially called "Middle Grounds." Later, in the early 1800s, a newly constructed stable for stagecoach horses earned the settlement the name "New Stable." However, it was Gaines's name that ultimately stuck, marking the town's place on the map.
