Forty-nine homesites in two distinct lot sizes on the Salamander resort perimeter, inside the Town of Middleburg's corporate limits.
Residences at Salamander is a 49-homesite project on the perimeter of the Salamander resort tract, and unlike most Middleburg-addressed property it sits inside the Town of Middleburg's corporate limits. That single fact changes the regulator: the Town's zoning ordinance governs rather than Loudoun County's AR-2 rural framework, and the lots connect to municipal water and sewer rather than to a well and a drainfield. Groundbreaking was July 21, 2022. All figures as of August 2026.
The 49 homesites are split into two products with very different footprints. The Vineyards holds 28 sites of roughly 0.4 acre; The Stables holds 21 at roughly 1.3 acres — more than three times the land, inside the same development. House plans run about 2,127 to 4,750 square feet, offered from move-in ready through fully custom, with Castlerock building. The project is a joint venture of Salamander Hotels & Resorts and South Street Partners. One correction worth making early, because the assumption is common on resort-adjacent property: the developer states the community is not gated. Whether a homesite carries access to resort amenities, and on what terms, is a contract question rather than something conveyed by proximity — get it in writing before you price it in.
Because the tract is inside the corporate limits, the Town of Middleburg administers zoning here, not Loudoun County. The site sits in the town's MUV district and was approved with proffers. Proffered conditions are binding commitments recorded against the land and they survive the developer, so read the approved proffer statement rather than the sales brochure — that document is where any obligation about form, landscaping, phasing or public improvements actually lives. Town jurisdiction also means town utilities: the municipal system runs on five ground wells, two storage tanks, a wastewater treatment plant at the east end of town and a pumping station at the west end. That is a materially different profile from a rural Middleburg parcel, where a private well and an onsite sewage system are the buyer's to test, maintain and eventually replace.
The tract falls within the Middleburg Historic District, DHR file 259-0162, listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register in December 1981 and the National Register in October 1982. That listing is recognition and a rehabilitation tax-credit gateway; on its own it does not dictate what a private owner does with a wall. The regulating layer is Article XVII of the town zoning ordinance, which defines the Historic Middleburg District as the original town — bounded by Marshall, Independence, Federal and Constitution Streets — plus the area within 300 feet of that perimeter inside the corporate limits. Two consequences follow. If any portion of a lot lies inside, the entire lot is subject. And where it applies, no architectural feature subject to public view from a public street may be altered without a certificate of appropriateness. Confirm with the town's Planning and Zoning office whether a specific homesite falls in the overlay before designing an exterior change.
A partial conservation easement of roughly 190 acres was recorded over the resort parcel on November 2, 2007, co-held by the Town of Middleburg and Potomac Conservancy. Under Va. Code § 10.1-1010(C) a conservation easement is perpetual unless the instrument sets a term, so this is a permanent feature of the land next door rather than a developer promise. Two cautions. It is a partial easement covering part of the tract, not all of it, so what is protected is a question for the recorded deed and its mapped areas rather than for a rendering. And an easement restricting the resort parcel is not a guarantee about the view from any particular homesite. Pull the instrument by number, read the reserved rights, and put a specific question to the holders in writing if a sightline is part of what you are paying for.
Loudoun County's parcel layer still shows the parent tract and labels it SALAMANDER DEVELOPMENT, so county records are not a reliable source for per-lot acreage or assessment here — take lot dimensions from the recorded plat and the survey, not from the GIS viewer. Loudoun County Public Schools assigns the area to Banneker Elementary School, Blue Ridge Middle School and Loudoun Valley High School in Purcellville; verify a specific address with LCPS Planning and GIS Services, since boundaries are redrawn periodically. Finally, Va. Code § 55.1-703 puts the burden on the buyer: the owner makes no representation about whether a property is subject to a conservation easement. On a parcel this close to a recorded one, that is a search to run rather than a question to ask casually.
