Leesburg WOW House: $30M Buys Estate Once Owned By Lord Baltimore

LEESBURG, VA — Who among us hasn't contemplated the all-too-familiar problem of having an extra $30,000,000 lying around and wondered what to do with it? Hmmm. Got it! Buy a house sold by Lord Baltimore in 1729 to some dude named V. Hollyfield. Oh, and with your $30,000,000 payment, you also get 173 acres of adjoining cleared land.

The aforementioned Lord Baltimore actually was Frederick Calvert, the 6th Baron Baltimore, who died in 1771. The English nobleman was the last in line of the Barons Baltimore. And if you act now, we'll send you a Lord Baltimore bobble-head figure absolutely free! (Actually, no. We won't.)
