A truly rare opportunity in Sterling, VA—90 private acres in a location where parcels of this scale no longer exist. Three contiguous parcels, ¼ mile of Potomac River frontage with direct river access, and existing infrastructure already in place. Just minutes from the Rt. 28 technology corridor, and approximately 4 miles from Amazon's recent acquisition of the GWU Ashburn campus, this property offers a compelling balance of privacy and proximity to one of Northern Virginia’s most dynamic economic centers. This property supports a range of potential uses: PRIVATE RIVERFRONT LEGACY ESTATE: For the buyer seeking land, scale, and long-term significance, this is a singular opportunity with the unparalleled ability to create multiple primary residences across three contiguous parcels. 1/4 Mile of Potomac River frontage, direct access to the water and a private boat launch area, plus the existing infrastructure create an ideal setting for a multi-generational legacy estate. —CORPORATE STRATEGIC HOLDING / LAND-BANKING NEAR RT. 28 TECH: For the buyer focused on land, location, and forward-looking value, this is a rare opportunity to control a meaningful footprint in the core of Ashburn’s technology growth corridor. Located approximately 4 miles from Amazon's recent acquisition of the GWU campus, this property sits within the path of continued data center and technology-driven expansion, making it well suited for corporate strategic hold, long-term land banking, or future repositioning as the surrounding corridor evolves. —FUTURE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT: For the builder or developer focused on location, land, and opportunity, this property presents a rare chance to create a residential environment that balances density, land preservation, and lifestyle - within one of Northern Virginia’s most supply-constrained and economically significant regions. Public sewer and a second deeded entrance exist. Approximately 17 acres lie outside of the floodplain, creating a defined area for potential homesites, while the remaining acreage provides a natural buffer, well suited for a thoughtfully designed community. Prior engineering and traffic study analysis projected approximately 69 homesites with re-zoning. Hamlet subdivision under current zoning is a possibility. —DESTINATION EVENT VENUE IN ONE OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA'S MOST DYNAMIC & CENTRAL LOCATIONS: For the buyer seeking to create a destination event venue with scale, setting, river frontage, and built-in infrastructure, this is a rare opportunity to create a truly distinctive experience. An expansive bank barn overlooks a spring-fed pond—an exceptional focal point for weddings and gatherings. Surrounding acreage provides flexibility for ceremony sites, tented receptions, parking, and curated outdoor experiences. Existing improvements include a primary residence for on-site management or guest accommodations, and a substantial equipment barn with car lift—well-suited for operations/storage. A former airstrip—cleared and maintained—creates a dramatic approach through the property, leading to a potential event site near the river frontage. Brewery, B&B Inn, Farm Winery are Permitted Zoning. Banquet/Event is Minor Special Exception. —CONSERVATION / LAND TRUST: For the conservation-minded buyer or land trust, this property represents an opportunity to permanently protect a substantial riverfront landscape, while also offering the potential for conservation easements and associated tax credit value - aligning conservation objectives with thoughtful land management. —90-ACRE PARK with DIRECT RIVER ACCESS: For a county or public entity, this property represents an opportunity to establish a lasting community asset - expanding access to the Potomac River while complementing nearby recreational resources such as Algonkian Park and serving a growing population in one of Northern Virginia’s most dynamic regions.

Quiet luxury has a new address in Great Falls. At 796 Falls Farm Court, Brush Arbor Homes has composed something rare - a New American Farmhouse of exceptional confidence and presence, sited up on 1.8 private acres with the kind of intentionality that finds its place in the landscape rather than imposed upon it. The façade announces its intention immediately: a refined palette of antiqued brick and board-and-batten siding in deep slate grey, anchored by a charcoal standing-seam roof and oversized black-framed windows that draw the eye and invite the light. Tiered stone retaining walls, manicured boxwood plantings, and a sweeping drive compose an arrival that is understated and impeccable. 11,800+- square feet of thoughtfully designed and light-filled interior space unfolds across three levels with 6 bedrooms, 8 full and 2 half bathrooms and optional elevator — formal entertaining spaces, intimate family quarters, and serene bedroom retreats — creating a warmth and livability that genuinely defies its scale. Wide-plank European white oak floors, soaring ceilings, and walls of glass anchor every room and announce the home's devotion to detail from the very first step inside. The rear of the home is nothing short of a private resort. A sparkling pool and separate raised stone-bordered spa anchor a generous bluestone patio, while an expansive covered outdoor living pavilion framed in the home's signature board-and-batten and finished with a full outdoor kitchen extends the interior's warmth and sophistication into the open air. A second-level balcony with black metal railings overlooks the entire scene. The surrounding lawn stretches generously in every direction, lush and level, offering abundant space for recreation, entertaining, or simply breathing room. This home's magic is found in the minutiae-in the deliberate choices that distinguish the exceptional from the merely impressive. Bespoke millwork and wainscoting, designer fixtures, and furniture-grade cabinetry and built-ins reveal a level of craftsmanship that must be experienced firsthand. Each room carries its own character while flowing effortlessly into the next, a testament to architecture that is as intelligent as it is beautiful. 796 Falls Farm Court is a showcase of the best of everything the market has come to expect from Brush Arbor Homes. The discerning buyer will simply need to see it for themselves. Schedule a tour, and discover that true luxury is not simply seen, but deeply felt.

Ideally situated on the banks of Luce Creek with sweeping views down the Severn River, 1715 Porters Hill Road is a unique heritage property with over a century of history. Set on a 1.7 acre lot with 265 ft of waterfrontage, the property includes a large, hard-to-find boathouse that provides both charm and utility for all your waterfront adventures. The private pier has 7+ ft water depth and can accommodate a large vessel as well as an assortment of smaller boats. The tram makes access to the water effortless, and the entire property enjoys an exceptional privacy. Steeped in its storied past yet thoughtfully updated for modern living, this retreat captures the perfect balance of historic charm and casual elegance. The heart of the home is a sunlit great room with original log walls and quarried stone fireplace, a vaulted ceiling, and expansive windows which frame water views at every turn. An adjoining den, with separate entrance option, is a perfect place to relax. This could easily become another main level bedroom with ensuite bathroom. The kitchen is striking under its vaulted ceiling accented by exposed beams. The custom cabinetry, GE Monogram stainless steel appliances and generous island give the space so much functionality while maintaining the artisanal character. The kitchen opens to the dining area overlooking the water. The table is anchored by a craftsman-style light fixture, and the entire first and second floors have beautiful wood floors. Step outside and you’re embraced by nature: multiple porches and decks overlook lush, manicured grounds that lead down to the water’s edge. The main-level primary suite is a true sanctuary, designed for privacy and tranquility. The bedroom, with a vaulted ceiling, has a screened porch overlooking the water. Two expansive walk-in closets offer custom organization systems that would make a clothing connoisseur smile. The spa-like bathroom gets lots of natural light from the windows that frame the water, and the freestanding soaking tub is situated to enjoy this view. A dual-sink vanity, heated floors, generous walk-in shower with a built-in bench, and a spacious cosmetic area with dedicated seating make getting ready feel effortless and luxurious. A dedicated laundry area just off the hallway makes day-to-day living very easy. Part of the primary suite is a gracious office with gas fireplace and outdoor access. This is a totally flexible space: install a wall of bookshelves and you’d have a lovely library. Upstairs, there are two generously sized bedrooms. One has water views and a waterside balcony; the other overlooks the lush landscaping out front. There is a hall bathroom. A separate guest bedroom suite above the garage, complete with its own living area and luxe bathroom, is ideal for visiting friends and family who desire more privacy. The Historical Context: Originally built in the 1880s, this log house was one of three identical structures used as hunting lodges. The logs of this original structure were re-purposed in the renovation. The construction of the log walls is one of great craftmanship, including sizing each log to be approximately the same diameter as others. Lore has it that around the turn of the 20th century, the Naval academy wanted to acquire more land by the academy and traded this peninsula for land across from College Creek. The Naval Academy superintendent, Admiral David Porter, could be where the name Porter’s Hill derived from. In the 1920’s, the Whitehead family – three brothers known for running bootleg liquor to Baltimore and Washington during Prohibition — used the property as a place to entertain and stop on the way to Baltimore. In the 1940s, the brothers’ exploits caught up with them, and the State of Maryland confiscated the Porters Hill peninsula. Through a unique trade involving the Jones family’s gravel pit (now the site of the 895 Tunnel), this private waterfront enclave found its next chapter.
