Mulberry Fields, situated on just under 500 acres of fertile land with a mile-long view of the Potomac River’s white sand shoreline, is truly one of a kind. As you drive along the cedar-lined driveway, you are transported back in time as the magnificent manor house appears in front of you. It is the only remaining Georgian manor house in St. Mary’s County today. From the south façade, the magnificent mile-long “Avenue Field,” lined with trees stretching to the Potomac River provides a breathtaking panoramic view downhill to the white sandy riverbank. The interior of the manor house is of simple and educated taste. The grand center hall and the 2 front (south) rooms (the great room and dining room) have walls of rectangular raised panels to the ceiling, making it one of the most completely paneled 18th-century houses in Maryland. Throughout the house, many original moldings, doors, and mantels are intact. Air conditioning and heating were added to all rooms. The owners retained an architectural firm and have plans - approved by the Historic Trust - for a renovation that would enlarge the kitchen, the bathrooms and adding another wing to the house on the west side. Flanking each side of the north entrance are 2 historic dependencies, both similar in design. Each is of brick, 2-story in height. They were placed symmetrically north of the mansion, forming a rectangular court with the Kitchen Garden, Bowling Green and Orchard separated by a row of large boxwoods. These buildings were used as service buildings with the East dependency as “The Kitchen” and the West dependency as the “The Weaving House.” These structures were used to house slaves, such as cooks, stable hands, waiters, and housekeepers who were tasked with running the household and gave the mansion and outbuildings the appearance of a busy village. “The Kitchen” has been remodeled and now serves as a guest cottage, while the “Weaving House” retains its original historic riven clapboard partition walls, floors, doors, and hardware. Next to the 2 dependencies flanking the Manor House are numerous other historic buildings, such as the “Dairy” and the “Meat/Smoke House” (both east of the Manor House). Other historic buildings include a Carriage House, a Garage/Tool Shed, an Art Studio, a Pole Barn, a Horse and Cattle Barn, a Tobacco Barn, a remodeled Sheep Barn, 2 Equipment Barns, a Farmhouse, and an old dwelling that could be remodeled and turned into a rental unit. Several buildings were added in the 1930s. These include 6 occupied rental units, incl. 3 units in what was previously the Sheep Barn, a 4-BR Farmhouse, a 1-BR Cottage in the renovated “Kitchen" and a 1-BR Trailer. Taken together, these currently produce an income of $70,000. Add'l income is provided by leasing the fields for farming and from the U.S. Navy that keeps a navigation signal on the Potomac River. More income can be obtained by renovating some of the existing buildings. With that Mulberry Fields could have a total of twelve rental units. Mulberry Fields was added to the National Registry of Historic Places in 1973. The Maryland Historical Trust Deed of Easement ALLOWS LIMITED INDUSTRIAL OR COMMERCIAL activities to be conducted at Mulberry Fields if the external appearances of its buildings are not altered (please ask for more info). Owners of Mulberry Fields must abide by a Conservation Easement, a Historical Preservation Easement, and three Rd Easements. Appr. 100 acres of land is leased out for farming and 300 acres is forest. This unique historic property is close to Leonardtown, Lexington Park and Solomon’s Island with numerous historic sites, wineries, antique shops, art galleries and restaurants, Deerfield Airport (private jet) as well as St. Mary’s County Regional Airport. 1h15 min drive to Washington DC and its major airports - Dulles Int’l Airport, and Reagan Nat’l Airport.

Sited along revered Foxhall Road, at the highest point in Washington, sits one of the finest residences ever constructed in the Capital Region. Inspired by the Château du Grand-Lucé in central France, an undisputed all-star team of artisans — interior designer Thomas Pheasant, developer Michael Banks, architect David Jones, and landscape architect Richard Arentz — have collaborated over the course of three years to create an estate whose unrelenting splendor harkens back to an era of handcraftsmanship extremely rare in contemporary times. The discreet walled and gated entrance opens to reveal a meticulous front garden and paved cobblestone motor court, centered by a bubbling marble fountain. Indiana Limestone punctuates the stucco on the masonry facade, topped by a handsome slate mansard roof. In perfect symmetry and proportions, tall windows and arched dormers above replicate the home’s inspiration in the most exacting manner. Entering the property is an occasion in and of itself. Beneath the limestone portico is a set of arched double doors, parting ways to welcome guests into a breathtaking, double-height rotunda with a curved floating stair that serves as a functional work of art. Underfoot, imported Italian Niro Marquina marble radiates toward the formal rooms. The living room spans almost the entire width of the property and features a custom bar balanced by a floor-to-ceiling temperature-controlled wine display, lined with French doors framing breathtaking views of the terrace and rear garden. Countless artisans from across the country were enlisted to create the custom-cast bronze metalwork and plasterwork found throughout the home. This exacting level of detail extends to every aspect of the property. The kitchen is a textbook example of minimalism, with its continuous European cabinetry and slabs of marble only accented with brass hardware. Miele, Wolf, and Subzero appliances with Waterworks hardware come together in a harmonization of form and function. Ascending the rotunda stair reveals the principal bedroom. A private limestone terrace overlooks the grounds with unobstructed westward views beyond. A marble corridor traverses the space, bridging the two primary baths and expansive dressing rooms. Each wing has a distinct theme, boasts heated floors, and is drenched in marble. Additional ensuite bedrooms are found on the third level, tucked under the mansard roof. The lower level showcases equally impressive outdoor views with its sweeping wall of floor-to-ceiling windows framing the verdant tree line and private rear grounds. Absolute black granite on the floors, walls, and ceilings adds a striking touch, while the plush cinema, spa, and fitness facilities more than befit a home of this caliber. A professional two-story indoor sports court and golf simulator complete the space. Landscape architect Richard Arentz wanted the landscaping to be as important as the home itself. As such, he spent years meticulously engineering, hardscaping, and installing countless mature plantings from all over the country that evoke a rare sensation of total privacy and tranquility, a feeling intensified by the beautiful simplicity of the estate grounds. The tiered garden reveals a fifty-six-foot heated pool, and just beyond the pool, a private chipping and putting green. Internal systems are all of the highest capacity. Highlights include a whole-home seventy-two-kilowatt generator, eight geothermal wells providing twenty tons of cooling capacity, and twin three-car garages. Strategically positioned mere minutes away from the White House, embassies, upscale dining, and vibrant entertainment hubs, this estate offers unparalleled convenience. Undoubtedly, 2400 Foxhall Road stands as an extraordinary testament to unwavering quality, representing one of the most exceptional properties ever presented in the Mid-Atlantic.

Browne, the manor boasts of 22 bedrooms, which include 12 dedicated staff quarters. Grand living, dining, and ballrooms make it an ideal setting for entertaining, while the estate’s design prioritizes privacy and offers breathtaking views. The extensive primary suite includes adjacent sitting rooms and a kitchenette, complemented by a stunning terrace overlooking the rolling hills and pastures. North Wales features eight residential tenant dwellings, including an exquisite carriage house with a five-bedroom apartment, horse facilities, tranquil ponds, and sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Protected by a conservation easement with the Virginia Outdoor Foundation, the estate allows for the creation of additional private recreational facilities, such as a world-class equestrian operation or a nine-hole private golf course. As one of America’s great estates and a national treasure, North Wales is proudly listed on both the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register.

Chateau du Soleil was inspired by the traditions of 18th century French architecture. A gated entrance introduces the estate which spans over 3.8 acres in the heart of the revered Langley Farms neighborhood, distinguishing it as one of the largest estates in this storied enclave. A gracious driveway leads through meticulous gardens and specimen trees to reveal the 22,000 square foot, stone and brick mansion discretely positioned on the top of the hill. Massive wrought-iron doors introduce the interiors which are both grand in proportions and finishes. An impressive plaster dome soars above the foyer and hints at the intricate plaster molding and custom finishes found throughout the home. Italian marble blends seamlessly with contemporary white oak hardwoods and forged iron railings. Throughout the estate, dozens of custom crystal chandeliers illuminate throughout the expansive and open floor plan. A richly paneled library is located just off the entry hall to welcome visitors or to provide a perfect retreat for work. Just beyond, the grand ballroom appointed with floor-to-ceiling mirrors was inspired by the opulence of the Palace of Versailles. Upstairs, the primary suite spans a total of 3,300 square feet and boasts panoramic views of the pool and the gardens beyond. Not to be overshadowed, the primary closet encompasses 1,100 square feet and spans two levels with the finest Italian cabinetry and custom lighting throughout. The nine additional bedroom suites are also gracious and include ensuite baths featuring stunning mosaic work and beautiful views of the gardens. Separate guest or staff quarters are discretely positioned above the garage. The list of amenities continues elsewhere in the mansion: a spa with a massage room, sauna, fitness center, private hair salon, safe room, three wet bars, four kitchenettes (in addition to a main and catering kitchen) a wine cellar, card room, and a professional home cinema are among the amenities in this luxurious retreat. A full-service elevator accesses all four levels of the mansion. Outdoors, expansive terraces overlook a modern lap pool surrounded by dancing fire bowls, fountains and a dramatic waterfall. A fire pit, separate cabana, and a 200-inch outdoor television provide yet another dramatic venue for outdoor entertaining. Extensive landscaping, jogging path, and a French garden inspired by palaces in Normandy. Behind the scenes, commercial-grade equipment allows the entire estate to be self-sufficient and secure; a full-house generator ensures continuous power. Smart home technology equipment controls lighting, sound system, HVAC, and security systems and can be controlled via voice activation anywhere in the world. Ten HVAC zones provide separate thermostats for each bedroom, and 30 cameras around the fully-fenced and gated property provide an additional layer of security. After the sun sets, 350 landscape lights illuminate the estate, and a full irrigation system keeps the landscaping lush and verdant. For the car enthusiast, five stacked parking spaces provide room to house a collection of ten automobiles. An additional, separately deeded building site within the estate provides room for a separate guest house, gatehouse, and 30 additional parking spaces. Situated just a mile from the George Washington Memorial Parkway and the Capital Beltway, convenience is part of the equation as the estate is only 15 minutes from the White House, embassies, fine dining, and entertainment venues in Washington. World-class shopping at the Tysons Galleria is less than ten minutes away. The mansion is fully complete and ready to host the next generation of opulent living. Unquestionably, Chateau du Soleil is a rare example of uncompromising luxury and one of the finest properties ever to be offered in the region. Developed by The Building Group, Inc. Mike Mafi, President, Mandy Mafi, Vice President of Design Operation, and John Mafi, VP of Development.

Standing as Bethesda's premier estate offering, 6699 Macarthur Boulevard is amongst only a handful of world-class waterfront properties within the entire Capital Region. Towering over the Potomac River, old-world elegance meets contemporary luxuries in an enchanting intersection of craftsmanship and art. Designed by an all-star team of acclaimed artisans comprising architect Franck & Lohsen and master builder Leonard Nurmi of CDC Builders, the estate's nearly 12,000 square feet of interior space has been meticulously transformed by the current owner through a three-year renovation by BOWA Builders. A private road discreetly winds up to the main entrance, where motorized gates part ways to reveal a regal motor court, all nestled behind mature landscaping that keeps the home hidden from the street. Immediately, the facade's red brick, dark shutters, and turreted entrance evoke impressions of the storied country estates of the Northeast, concealing a comprehensively modern and thoughtfully designed interior. Beyond grand double doors, the sophisticated entry vestibule is flanked by a bifurcated staircase gracefully sweeping up to the upper-level landing while mesmerizing views lay ahead. Herringbone flooring is a testament to the level of craftsmanship, as are the palatially scaled and exquisitely detailed formal rooms. Striking chandeliers make a statement throughout the dramatic living spaces. In the library, a soft glow emanating from the lighted built-ins and roaring fireplace sits against a backdrop of the river below. The chef's kitchen has an oversized marble island, furniture-grade inset cabinetry, and a commercial-grade 60-inch Wolf range. Immediately adjacent, the breakfast nook's curved wall of windows enables both panoramic views and droves of natural light. Upstairs are five ensuite bedrooms, including a stunning primary suite, occupying an entire wing of the home, with sweeping views, twin marble baths, and triple dressing rooms to create a sumptuous oasis. A transverse gallery spans the entire width of the lower level, whose centerpiece is a circular wine cellar reminiscent of a hidden Tuscan grotto. A chic bar, representative of the trendiest metropolitan restaurants across the globe, anchors the recreation room, while a fitness center, billiards room, guest suite, and laundry facilities complete the lower level. Every inch of the rear lawn is as exquisitely finished as the interiors. A full-width upper terrace gracefully descends to the lower terrace and its focal point — an infinity pool and bubbling hot tub whose edge seemingly vanishes into the expanse beyond. An English garden perfectly complements the historical essence of the home's exterior. Irreplaceable like the world's rarest collectibles, 6699 Macarthur Boulevard is truly like no other.
