A Timeless Waterfront Estate. A Legacy Unlike Any Other. Set along one of the most breathtaking stretches of the Potomac River, 9514 Lynnhall Place is an extraordinary Seven-bedroom waterfront estate offering a rare combination of privacy, scale, grandeur, history, and natural beauty. Positioned on more than two beautifully manicured acres, the residence captures sweeping panoramic views extending for miles down the Potomac, with an exceptional orientation looking along the river rather than simply across it. The property's story is equally remarkable. The estate was built on one of President George Washington's five original Mount Vernon farms, The Union Farm, connecting it to the history of one of America's most significant estates. A plaque near the front entrance recognizes the property's historical significance. Originally commissioned by the late Major General Guy L. Hecker Jr., a decorated United States Air Force fighter pilot and two-star general, the residence was constructed over nearly three years by builder Ty Chambers. The entire residence was featured in Veranda Magazine, a fitting recognition of its distinctive architecture and exceptional design. Beyond the stately entrance and circular driveway, soaring columns introduce interiors of impressive scale and artistry. A dramatic dual floating staircase is complemented by hand-painted frescoes, a striking rose quartz hallway, crystal chandeliers, graceful archways, rich millwork, soaring ceilings, a beautifully crafted built-in mahogany library, and seven fireplaces. Expansive windows and thoughtfully positioned living spaces capture spectacular Potomac views from nearly every principal room. Four staircases and an elevator serving every level provide seamless access throughout the residence. The chef's kitchen features premium Thermador appliances and flows naturally into the surrounding living and entertaining spaces. The walkout lower level is anchored by a spectacular custom mahogany bar and a dramatic double-sided fireplace. A private movie theater, fitness room, sauna, steam room, multiple wet bars, and expansive recreation spaces create the experience of a private resort. The residence offers seven bedrooms in total, including a separate upper-level au pair suite with its own bedroom, kitchen, living room, and private staircase. The primary suite is a serene waterfront retreat with beautiful river views, spa-inspired baths, generous dressing areas, and exceptional privacy. Outside, extensive excavation and landscaping created a graceful transition from the residence to the water's edge. Expansive terraces overlook the resort-style pool and spa, while a private deep-water dock provides direct access to the Potomac River. Additional features include a heated three-car garage, laundry facilities on every level, multiple HVAC zones, and exceptional custom craftsmanship throughout. Ideally located minutes from George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate, Old Town Alexandria, National Harbor, Reagan National Airport, and Washington, D.C., this remarkable property combines the serenity of a grand waterfront retreat with exceptional access to the nation's capital. Rare in its scale. Remarkable in its craftsmanship. Rich in history. Irreplaceable in its setting. 9514 Lynnhall Place presents an exceptional opportunity to own one of the Potomac River's most distinctive waterfront residences.

5 Beds ⋅ 4 Baths
It’s rare that a home with such rich history, distinctive architecture, and an exceptional location becomes available to the public. Today, you're in for a special treat--a chance to explore an extraordinary residence that blends American history, timeless craftsmanship and endless potential! Once the boyhood home of General Winfield Scott--the legendary general who served in the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, and the Civil War--this remarkable home began its story in 1762 in Sussex County, VA, known then as The Mitchell House. In 1946, it found new life when Carl W. Porter, Fairfax County's Director of Public Works and a retired U. S. Navy Captain along with his wife, Beatrice, carefully relocated it piece by piece to its stunning new site--a serene two-acre setting on the Potomac River, just below George Washington's Mount Vernon. They lovingly renamed it Carlby. Washington’s 1793 map of the Mt Vernon Estate shows Carlby as “Field Number 1” and the water in front of the home as George Washington’s fishery. Set back from the road and only 200 feet from the water's edge, this secluded 2.18 acre property is approached by a graceful lengthy driveway which is perfectly situated to reflect the symmetry of the home and its outbuildings. This elegant residence follows the grand tradition of Southern plantation design--with a wide central hall and front and back doors perfectly aligned to invite cool river breezes. As you step inside with both doors open, the view of the water unfolds before you in breathtaking fashion. The riverside facade can be admired from the stately portico, reminiscent of Mount Vernon's grand lawn. Whether hosting gatherings or savoring tranquil mornings by the water, the setting offers breathtaking views, timeless serenity and radiant sunsets. With 151 feet of beautiful water frontage and a pier extending into the river, the property presents endless possibilities for relaxation and recreation, all surrounded by a natural landscape that serves as a thriving habitat for local wildlife. Inside, the craftsmanship speaks for itself. The first floor showcases original wide-plank pine floors, soaring 12-foot ceilings, and beautifully preserved moldings and paneling. To one side of the main hallway lies the grand living room, adorned with intricate wainscoting and elegant woodwork restored by the Porters themselves. Expansive nine-over-nine windows fill the space with natural light and frame sweeping river views. Across the hall, the formal dining room features a stately fireplace and a custom chandelier designed by Captain Porter and inspired by one found in George Mason's home at Gunston Hall. A cozy den with its own full bath offers the versatility of a first-floor bedroom; each of these rooms features a beautifully detailed period fireplace. The galley kitchen, half bath, laundry area and a private staircase leading to an upstairs room complete the main level. Upstairs, the owner's suite spans the full width of the house--a peaceful retreat with original floors, an elegant wood burning fireplace and an en-suite bath. With views of both the front lawn and the river, it captures the quiet grace of the home's 18th century origins. Two additional bedrooms, a full hall bath and custom built-in closets round out the upper level--each space filled with charm and history, from river views to cozy fireplaces. A detached double garage with upper-level storage, a historic smokehouse, complementary shed complete the outside structures on the property; all arranged with balance & purpose. Carlby is more than a home---it's a living piece of American heritage. A place where history, architecture and nature converge in perfect harmony. For historians, architects, preservations and lovers of nature who are looking for a waterfront, private retreat on over 2 acres of land, the possibilities are endless. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own something truly irreplaceable.

River View Estate brings together three things that almost never exist in one property: complete privacy, immediate access to Washington’s centers of power, and true historical significance. Positioned just minutes from the White House, the U.S. Capitol, and the Pentagon, the estate is situated within one of the most strategically located corridors in the country. Set on 16.5 acres along the Potomac River, the property sits on George Washington’s original Mount Vernon estate and represents the largest privately-owned remaining portion of that land. Accessed by a long, stone-lined driveway and secured by two separate gates, the estate offers a level of privacy rarely found this close to Washington. The grounds are fully developed with extensive hardscaping, exterior lighting, and established tree groves, opening to approximately 400 feet of waterfront. The property is designed to accommodate large gatherings of hundreds of guests, while maintaining the feel of a private retreat. Multiple balconies, decks, patios, and terraces extend from the home, with every level and nearly every room opening to its own terrace overlooking the river. The home was designed with a focus on scale, proportion, and its relationship to the water. Architectural details, including custom radius windows and doors, frame the river and carry natural light throughout the interior. The home opens with a wood-paneled reception room, which transitions into a circular room overlooking both the river and the gardens. The layout is built to perform for entertaining, with both a commercial-grade chef’s kitchen and a separate family kitchen. An elevator services all four levels, providing seamless access throughout the residence. A dedicated entertaining level is anchored by a full bar and finished with handcrafted stonework and a billiards table, with radius doors opening directly to the river. A temperature-controlled wine cellar supports formal entertaining, while a 15-seat private theater has been upgraded with a new 15 x 9 foot Stewart screen, DCI-compliant projection systems, and Dolby Atmos audio. A large fitness center with radius windows overlooking the Potomac is complemented by a private spa area featuring an indoor resistance pool, steam room, infrared sauna, and full spa amenities. There are multiple supporting structures. A guest house offers 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and approximately 2,600 square feet. A carriage house includes four garage bays and a studio apartment. The grounds also include a private waterfront dock and a recreated English colonial boxwood garden, based on original estate plans. From an infrastructure standpoint, the property reflects a high level of planning and execution. A centralized smart estate system manages security, utilities, information, and entertainment. Systems include geothermal heating, advanced well water systems, and 150 kW backup generators capable of powering the entire property. The estate’s private dock offers direct access to the Potomac, allowing for travel by boat to the waterfront destinations of Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia, with the river functioning not just as a view, but as a direct and navigable extension of the property. Multiple nearby regional airports further support seamless private air travel, reinforcing the property’s access to Washington while preserving its sense of separation. Properties that combine this level of privacy, proximity to power, and historical significance simply do not come to market. River View Estate is the exception.
