It looks like Dan Snyder’s Potomac estate is officially going to hit the market. The Washington Commanders owner will list the 15-acre, Potomac River-facing property called River House for $49 million, according to the Washington Business Journal. If it sells at that price, it will be the highest residential real estate sale ever in the DC area. It will be listed by Heather Corey and Michael Rankin of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty, who confirmed the upcoming listing.
The listing comes as signs point to Snyder potentially selling the Commanders to a new owner and after the team has been embroiled in allegations of a toxic workplace, sexual harassment, and financial misconduct.
Snyder bought the first part of the property from Jordan’s King Hussein and Queen Noor’s estate, and then purchased the surrounding six lots. A French chateau-style mansion sits on the gated property with five bedrooms and 13.5 bathrooms. Inside is a two-story reception hall, a 24-foot-tall limestone fireplace, a chef’s kitchen, a gym, a spa, a wine cellar, and a home theater, according to information provided by TTR Sotheby’s. The third floor is entirely dedicated to the primary suite, with its own private sitting and dressing areas, an office, and two spa-style bathrooms.
There’s also a two-bedroom guest house on the property, as well as a manager’s house with staff bedrooms, a gate house by the entrance, a pool, a motor court, a 12-car garage, a basketball court, and gardens landscaped to resemble 18th-century England.
And if Snyder sells the place for $49 million, he’d be smashing his own record: He purchased a 16.5-acre estate in Alexandria for $48 million in 2021, the area’s highest-ever residential real estate sale.
