651 Mine Ridge Rd, Great Falls, VA 22066

Discreetly tucked away at the very end of one of Great Falls’s most prestigious enclaves, the coveted Cornwell Farms neighborhood, where only a handful of estate homes are dotted across verdant rolling hills, 651 Mine Ridge Road represents an opportunity unlike any other. Situated on 5.92 parklike acres, the grand estate is introduced by a sprawling paver motor court, which augments the façade’s symmetry and grandeur. Intricate detailing frames the gracious entry and arched Palladian window beneath a towering double-height portico supported by substantial Doric columns. Double doors part to introduce a stunning foyer, framed by sweeping double staircases with a shimmering crystal chandelier overhead and classically inlaid marble floors beneath. An expansive floor plan spans over 17,000 square feet of exquisitely detailed living space. Formal living and dining rooms flank the entryway in a traditional center hall configuration. The former features a fireplace and flows into a dignified study, lined with a curved wall of windows and rich built-ins. Both spaces showcase intricate millwork and parquet flooring. The double-height great room is centered within the main level, capped by a stunning coffered ceiling and offering verdant views, as well as access to the rear terrace. It flows into the formal library, a dignified retreat featuring a fireplace framed by built-ins. A transverse gallery, whose arched ceiling is bathed in the soft glow of ambient illumination, spans the entire width of the main level. On one end, the informal areas comprise a generous kitchen and mudroom with access to the attached three-car garage. On the opposite end is the main-level primary bedroom, featuring two walk-in dressing rooms and a lavish bathroom with all expected accoutrements. Dual powder rooms, a coat closet, and a wet bar complete the list of entertaining amenities on the main level. Four large bedrooms, each equipped with a walk-in closet, three baths, and a rooftop terrace, are found on the upper level. The top level comprises a large bonus room, a full bathroom, and a balcony with sweeping views of the Northern Virginia countryside. All levels are accessible by private elevator. Designed for elaborate large-scale gatherings, the lower level’s central ballroom is flanked by two symmetrical salons and opens onto a covered terrace. Two additional bedrooms, two full baths, a billiards room, and a catering kitchen complete the lower level. The grounds, a true highlight of the estate, are a combination of rolling hills, open plains, towering mature foliage, and integrated hardscaping. Set within Cornwell Farms and just over a mile from Great Falls Village, the location offers a rare blend of seclusion and accessibility.
