A magnificent newly built residence, situated on part of George Washington’s historic Mount Vernon estate, has been listed for a staggering $60 million in Alexandria, Virginia. Crafted by architect Jim Rill and expertly constructed in 2018 by West Wing Builders, this expansive 16,000 square foot home occupies 16.5 acres along the Potomac River. “The current owners acquired the property in 2014 for $18.6 million and essentially demolished the previous structure, investing tens of millions into creating a new design,” as reported by Architectural Digest. It is accessed through a grand stone driveway, and the American Federal style home is oriented to maximize stunning river views from all main living spaces, featuring numerous terraces for outdoor enjoyment.
The residence includes an expansive wood-paneled reception room that leads to a circular room with views of the river and gardens, a grand multi-level spiral staircase, and a bright, vaulted kitchen. With a total of 7 bedrooms and over 7.5 bathrooms, the estate also features a large home gym overlooking the Potomac, a spa with an indoor resistance pool, a game room with a full bar, and a 15-seat home theater. The property boasts 400 feet of waterfront, a guest house with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, a fully restored carriage house accommodating 4 cars and a studio apartment, a waterfront dock, and beautifully arranged English colonial-style gardens inspired by historical blueprints from the property. Existing tree groves have been enhanced to establish serene, private wooded areas. The estate is on the market for $60 million with Heather Corey of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty.
