Inside the Most Expensive Listing in Northern Virginia Right Now — Is It Worth the Price?
by Saad Jamil
Right now, one estate stands alone at the very top of the Northern Virginia luxury market — the undisputed most expensive active listing in Loudoun and Fairfax Counties in 2025. Priced north of $20 million, this brand-new, fully custom-built estate just redefined what “ultra-luxury” actually means in the DMV.
From the half-mile private driveway to the resort-grade infinity pool and 10-car collector garage, every inch was executed with a level of detail and scale that simply cannot be replicated at today’s construction costs. This isn’t just the priciest home for sale in Northern Virginia — it’s the new benchmark.
You don’t drive up to this house — you arrive. A private gated motor court, half-mile lighted driveway, and a stone-and-stucco façade that looks like it was lifted from the hills of Tuscany and perfected with modern symmetry. The landscaping alone is maintained by a full-time crew.
Step inside and the scale hits you immediately. A two-story foyer with floating marble staircase, hand-laid herringbone floors, and a 30-foot domed ceiling with custom plasterwork you normally only see in European palaces.
Dual 18-foot islands, La Cornue range, full Sub-Zero column refrigeration, two dishwashers, coffee station, and a hidden 400 sq ft catering/scullery kitchen. Morning coffee for two or seated dinner for 80 — it handles both effortlessly.
The owner’s wing is its own luxury apartment: fireplace, morning bar, two boutique-style dressing rooms, spa bath with steam shower and heated Italian marble, and a private balcony overlooking the entire estate.
27-foot coffered ceilings, four sets of French doors opening to the terrace, and a limestone fireplace you can stand inside. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame sunset views over the pool and rolling lawn.
Negative-edge infinity pool with sunken fire lounge, full summer kitchen, pizza oven, pool house with bar and bath, and a 1,000 sq ft terrace that feels like Santorini in Loudoun County.
Lower level: 20-seat tiered theater with 8K projector, glass-enclosed 2,000-bottle wine cellar and tasting room, full gym with sauna, golf simulator, and a bar that rivals anything downtown D.C. offers.
Climate-controlled 10-car showroom garage with epoxy floors and hydraulic lifts, plus a separate two-bedroom guest house with full kitchen — perfect for staff, in-laws, or VIP visitors.
This is currently the most expensive home for sale in all of Northern Virginia.
And no — it’s not overpriced.
Replicating this level of land, scale, materials, and finish quality today would cost considerably more than the asking price. For the buyer who demands the absolute best the DMV has to offer in 2025 and beyond, this estate is the new gold standard.
