Faber is a quiet Rockfish Valley community where mountain ridgelines frame daily life and weekend plans revolve around trails, rivers, and local food. Set in Nelson County, it offers easy drives to Charlottesville and Waynesboro while still feeling wonderfully private.
Outdoor time comes easy here. Locals hop onto the Blue Ridge Parkway for scenic overlooks, hike and birdwatch through the Rockfish Valley Foundation Natural History Center trails, or carve turns at Wintergreen Resort when snow arrives. Fans of classic television find a dose of nostalgia nearby at the Walton’s Mountain Museum in Schuyler, celebrating the stories inspired by this part of the Blue Ridge.
Families appreciate access to Nelson County Public Schools, with students continuing to Nelson County High School. Daily needs are covered by country markets and farm stands, with larger shopping, medical care, and university culture a short trip away in Charlottesville.
Housing options range from wooded acreage and riverfront retreats to view-filled cottages and modern builds, all with that hard-to-find sense of elbow room. Whether you’re moving for outdoor adventure, a calmer pace, or proximity to regional job centers, Faber blends convenience with a distinctly Blue Ridge rhythm.
