For $39 Million, You Can Own Virginia’s Most Expensive Home

VIRGINIA — If you’re deep-pocketed enough to afford it, a $39 million mansion in McLean could give you the opportunity to purchase the most expensive home for sale in Virginia.

The most expensive homes on the market in the U.S. range in value from $225 million in California to $3 million in Nebraska, according to the real estate platform Point2Homes.com, which put together a list of the most expensive homes in for sale every U.S. state.

Movie theaters, gyms, tennis courts and waterfronts are often the norm for pricey homes, and some include private parks, private docks, horse barns and even underground tunnels.

In Virginia, the most expensive home sits at the end of a private lane in McLean. With its French provincial architecture and panoramic views of the Potomac River, the home was made for entertaining. There are multiple guest or staff accommodations — one with a kitchen on the lower level of the home, and another above the garage.

The kitchen was designed with input from Maryland chef José Andrés, and a separate catering kitchen and wine room with a quartz crystal wine cellar and wet bar provide all the space and storage needed for entertaining guests.

There's also an indoor swimming pool and spa, with an adjoining bath and shower, along with a separate de-humidification system.

The luxuries don't stop when you leave the home. Outside, there's a covered veranda with built-in heaters, retractable screens, a firepit and an outdoor kitchen.

"Designed for outdoor entertaining, the central lawn area was designed to accommodate a large tent for 200+ guests," the listing agent said. "Beyond, an infinity edge pool captures sunset views, and multiple terraces provide ideal vantage points for the truly spectacular views in all directions of the river, abundant wildlife, and the city of Washington beyond."
