From Virginia-
Another equestrian facility in Fairfax County is at risk of disappearing because the property owners are seeking to sell the land on which it sits.Windswept Farm, a 32-acre property near the intersection of Braddock Road and the Fairfax County Parkway, currently is home to an 11-member horse boarding cooperative.The land, however, is owned by the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia — the result of a lengthy legal dispute between the diocese and former Episcopal churches that separated from the diocese because of religious disagreements.The Church of the Apostles purchased the land for $2.5 million in 2001, according to county real estate tax records. The intent was to build a new church there, according to Henry Burt, secretary and chief of staff of the diocese.Church of the Apostles later separated from the Episcopal Church, as did several other Virginia churches. There was a multi-year lawsuit regarding whether the property belonged to the diocese or to the churches.More here-
