The home’s centerpiece is a breathtaking two-story GREAT ROOM with new red oak floors and an arched natural rock backdrop with an efficient soapstone stove. The wood stove easily converts to a charming fireplace. Opening to a newly updated deck, is a cozy, screened porch with a stone-front wood burning fireplace that overlooks the forest below. The gourmet eat-in kitchen features custom quartzite countertops, updated GE Café Series stainless steel appliances including a 5-burner range, refrigerator, built-in microwave and dishwasher. Abundant natural light is provided by a dramatic two-story wall of windows. The PRIMARY BEDROOM is located on the main level and features new hardwood floors and an ensuite renovated bathroom with dual sink vanity and refinished shower. The basement offers an updated full bathroom and fabulous laundry room with granite countertops and plenty of shaker cabinets. A large FAMILY ROOM with wood-burning Franklin stove completes the basement.
Continuing upstairs to the third level, a 4th bedroom with skylights and a separate living area makes an ideal guest suite, art studio, or private retreat.
Additional highlights include solid wood doors, custom beams in the ceiling, skylights, three wood-burning fireplaces (family room, basement, and screened porch), a two-car side-load garage, covered pavilion/carport, two sheds, and a deck with a retractable awning. Seasonal Potomac River views allow you to see the Washington Monument, National Harbor and festive fireworks from Mount Vernon.
With 10+ acres (well above the 5-acre minimum in Moyaone), the property may allow for subdivision or construction of a second home—providing unique long-term value.
The Moyaone Reserve is a historic, conservation-focused community preserving the Mount Vernon viewshed and offering unmatched access to nature. Residents enjoy boardwalks, kayaking in Piscataway National Park and community amenities such as an outdoor swimming pool offering a swim team, community garden, playground, covered pavilion, grill pavilion, tiki bar, and gathering spaces. Voluntary HOA membership keeps dues very low while supporting amenities and road maintenance.
Despite its peaceful seclusion, the property is ideally located near Joint Base Andrews, National Harbor, Old Town Alexandria, the Pentagon, National Landing, and Washington, D.C. Only 30 minutes outside of Washington, DC, this is more than a home—it’s a mountain-like retreat and an opportunity to own a rare piece of one of Maryland’s most sought-after communities.
