LUXURY PROPERTY AUCTION: 5–18 DECEMBER. Accepting Starting Bids Through 4 December. Starting Bids Expected Between $7.5M-$11.5M. Earn an incentive by 4 December. Anchored along the Potomac River on over 13 private acres, this magnificent French Chateau-inspired estate exemplifies the pinnacle of architectural refinement and luxurious living. Approached by a half-mile tree-lined drive beyond an arched gate, the residence unveils breathtaking panoramas of the river and protected parkland. A masterful collaboration between architect John Ike, designer Geoffrey Bradfield, and Horizon Builders, this limestone and slate masterpiece comprises over 40,000 square feet across three meticulously crafted structures.

A thoughtfully designed three-level guesthouse with 11 garage bays transforms effortlessly from automotive showroom to glamorous event space, while a 4,500-square-foot staff residence ensures seamless property management. Every amenity speaks to uncompromising luxury—commercial chef's kitchen, elevator access, heated pool, generator backup, automated snow-melt systems, and reverse osmosis water throughout.
