700 Bulls Neck Rd, MCLEAN

Rugged granite cliffs and panoramic views of the Potomac River set the stage for this exceptional estate which merges extraordinary views with a thoughtfully designed residence, creating an idyllic place to experience a lifestyle of health and well-being. A gated entrance reveals the understated, French Provincial architecture. Native materials including Vermont Slate, copper, and limestone blend seamlessly into the landscape. A pair of majestic Bald Eagles also call this location home and can often be seen overhead, further emphasizing the unique natural elements found here. All major rooms of the residence feature sweeping views of the river. Custom iron doors introduce guests to a circular rotunda with unobstructed views to the river and beyond. Galleries extend both direction to the public rooms including the main salon, dining room and soaring great room with sweeping views of the river. A world class kitchen by Lobkovitch with design input from renowned chef, Jose Andres, captures every luxurious amenity. A separate catering kitchen will satisfy the most discerning host, and the dining room will easily accommodate 24 guests. On the opposite end of the main level, a spacious salon captures unmatched views of the river and leads to the Collector’s Garage/Sport Pavilion. This finely finished annex accommodates 18-22 automobiles and doubles as a ballroom space for large indoor gatherings. The Pavilion will also accommodate a multitude of sports and entertainment uses, from pickleball to bowling. Upstairs, the primary suite with extraordinary river views features a spa-quality, double bath featuring Rohl fixtures, fireplace, coffee bar, and an expansive closet and dressing room. Four additional bedrooms on this level, all with beautifully detailed, en-suite baths, capture stunning views. The lower level introduced by two separate staircases will surprise and delight. A game room adjoins a dramatic wine room with an expansive cellar, wet bar and fireplace. With a quartz crystal backdrop, the cellar accommodates 3,000 bottles. The nearby media room features dual retractable screens. An exercise suite captures sweeping views outdoors and overlooks the indoor basketball court outfitted with official NBA Spaulding hoops, professional flooring, and a separate exterior entrance. Just a few steps beyond, an indoor swimming pool and spa are equipped with an LED lighting system, adjoining bath and shower, and a separate de-humidification system. Two additional bedroom suites complete this level. An ADA compliant elevator services three levels of the residence, and a Smart-House system by Savant controls Lutron lighting, music, HVAC systems, fireplaces, entrance gates, and security systems. A full-house generator, geothermal system for heating and air conditioning, and dual well and septic systems for water and sewer insure self-sustaining operations throughout the estate. Over the daily garage which accommodates four cars, a separate staff suite with a separate entrance provides further accommodations. Outdoors, a covered veranda with built-in heaters, a firepit, and an outdoor kitchen overlook the lawn and gardens. Discrete electronic screens built into the veranda arches provide comfort year around. The central lawn area will easily accommodate a large tent for 200+ guests.
