Potomac River Castle Outside Washington, D.C. Seeks $22 Million

Large and stately homes in the Washington, D.C., area sometimes come with a historic pedigree. Not so for a luxury landmark property on the Potomac River in Virginia that may look more at home in Europe than the nation’s capital.

The sprawling castle-like house at 612 Rivercrest Drive in McLean, Virginia—a stone’s throw from the border with Maryland and the D.C. area—was built in 2008 on 1.2 acres. The eight-bedroom home on four levels is being sold by the owner who lovingly built it.
