It took a while, but in this case, patience was definitely a virtue as we sold our beautiful raw five-acre land lot in the desirable Carrwood Estates community of Great Falls, Virginia last week. The lucky buyer is, we understand, planning to build a unique custom home; we can't wait to see it! This sale, at a closed price of $1,550,000, demonstrates the high value associated with this location, close to Tysons Corner, Riverbend and other fashionable and popular places to visit, yet utterly rural, and a stone's throw from the Potomac River. We still have the amazing Deckhouse listing opposite the lot, also on five acres, and ready for it's next custodians to stamp their own personalities on this wonderful post and beam construction house, which boasts around 6,800 square feet - check out the website and video tour below. Priced at $2,400,000, the house represents great value when one analyzes the 'comps', particularly the most recent one described above!
Don't hesitate to call me to set up a tour, or have your agent schedule it at your convenience. The spring market is about to start, and with low inventory all over the region, properties like this will be snapped up. Happy (property) hunting!

I am thrilled, and honored to be the listing agent of a 1980 Deckhouse in Great Falls, Virginia. What is a Deckhouse, you might well ask. Trust me when I say that it's a movement, as well as a wonderful product, a home which will stand for ages and which, thanks to its post and beam construction, allows the homeowner to play about with internal wall locations as they are essentially non load bearing. My colleague, Andrea and I made an on the fly video walk around of the property, 9560 Edmonston Drive, Great Falls, VA 22066, which can be watched below: I'm planning more open houses of this Deckhouse so let me know if you wish to be alerted to upcoming dates, subject of course to the property remaining unsold!
Land in Great Falls, Virginia is scarce, making our latest listing on Edmonston Road even more desirable. The 5-acre lot was recently 'perc' approved by Fairfax County for a 6-bedroom home, and is a short walk to the Potomac River - check out the video... The term 'perc' refers to how well the soil percolates and therefore how well it will absorb waste water from a house in to the septic drain field. The better it percs, the more bedrooms are allowed to be included in a new build - it is assumed that each bedroom will accommodate two people using the waste water system. It's not always easy to properly show raw land in a video, but we were fortunate timing-wise in that spring greenery was coming in, but not yet fully in leaf. Also, with the Potomac so close by, drone video nicely demonstrates the proximity of the river. And literally down the road, 2.7 miles away, is one of my favorite restaurants, the famed L'Auberge Chez François, the perfect place for haute cuisine anytime! Take a look at the listing information page and give me a call if it might be of interest. But be quick - properties such as this one, which is priced at $1,800,000, don't last very long.
Every now and again, a remarkable property comes up for sale. I was fortunate enough to have been engaged by the owners of an 11.7 acre parcel in Great Falls last year which closed this week. It is in fact two spectacular parcels, located in Cornwell Farm just off Georgetown Pike. My clients have owned these properties since 1972 and built a family home on one of the lots in 1978.
