An exceptional opportunity to build a custom luxury estate in one of Potomac’s most desirable locations, with plans, approvals, and critical groundwork already completed. This offering is ideally suited for a future homeowner seeking to bypass the lengthy and complex pre-construction process and move directly into building a custom residence. Architectural plans have been thoughtfully designed for an approximately 10,080 square foot estate home, tailored to today’s luxury buyer and complemented by a professionally curated interior design vision. Floor plans and design concepts are available for review. For those seeking a more turnkey path, a builder is available for a separate build-to-suit opportunity, at the buyer’s discretion. The proposed residence is not included in the list price, and construction will be contracted separately. Estimated build pricing and timelines may be available upon request. Extensive due diligence and site preparation have already been completed. A Montgomery County Plat Exemption has been secured, along with utility disconnections, completed well and septic abandonment, installation of a temporary electric pole, WSSC water and sewer category approvals and connections, and an approved Grading Plan. Property boundaries and Limits of Disturbance have been professionally staked, allowing the next owner to quickly and easily move efficiently toward construction. The existing home provides flexibility for alternative strategies, including expansion or repositioning for resale, or pursuing new construction. Situated along Falls Road, this location offers convenient access to the natural beauty of Great Falls Park, with the overlook just minutes away. Enjoy proximity to Olmsted Island, the Billy Goat Trail, top-rated Winston Churchill High School, and the shops and dining of Potomac Village, along with easy access to major commuter routes. A rare opportunity to secure a premier home site with a clear and accelerated path to building a 10,000+ square foot custom estate in Potomac.
