River View Estate brings together three things that almost never exist in one property: complete privacy, immediate access to Washingtons centers of power, and true historical significance. Positioned just minutes from the White House, the U.S. Capitol, and the Pentagon, the estate is situated within one of the most strategically located corridors in the country.
Set on 16.5 acres along the Potomac River, the property sits on George Washingtons original Mount Vernon estate and represents the largest privately-owned remaining portion of that land. Accessed by a long, stone-lined driveway and secured by two separate gates, the estate offers a level of privacy rarely found this close to Washington.
The grounds are fully developed with extensive hardscaping, exterior lighting, and established tree groves, opening to approximately 400 feet of waterfront. The property is designed to accommodate large gatherings of hundreds of guests, while maintaining the feel of a private retreat. Multiple balconies, decks, patios, and terraces extend from the home, with every level and nearly every room opening to its own terrace overlooking the river.
The home was designed with a focus on scale, proportion, and its relationship to the water. Architectural details, including custom radius windows and doors, frame the river and carry natural light throughout the interior. The home opens with a wood-paneled reception room, which transitions into a circular room overlooking both the river and the gardens.
