Located less than ten minutes from both Washington, DC and Tysons Corner, Virginia, this estate's location is second to none.

Easter Hill is the ultimate Washington riverfront estate encompassing two lots and 3.8 acres overlooking the most captivating, 270 degree views of the Potomac River. The site provides countless opportunities to create one of the region's finest estates. The existing residence provides a reference point for the opportunity which this exceptional site presents. The estate is ideally positioned on a gentle knoll which offers sweeping views in both directions along the river. In addition to the distant views, the estate affords privacy rarely available inside the Capital Beltway.

Granite boulders punctuate the river in this location creating vibrant natural waterfalls and energy in the water as it flows towards the Chesapeake Bay. Abundant wildlife also seeks refuge here from the nearby city, and a wide range of Bald Eagles, Peregrine Falcons, and Red-Tailed Hawks are often visible overhead and along the water's edge. These natural wonders are clearly visible from the protected vantage point at Easter Hill. The estate is strategically located less than one mile from the District of Columbia and just over five miles to the White House. Offering extraordinary views, privacy, security, and two buildable sites, Easter Hill is the finest opportunity for a world-class estate along McLean's coveted Gold Coast.
