Virginia's Most Expensive Home For Sale Is $62M

Take a look inside the state's most expensive home for sale. The guest house was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Virginia’s most expensive piece of real estate for sale is The Falls, a nine-bedroom mansion in McLean. It costs a chunk of change, but it's not even as much as the nine-figure properties in some of America’s hottest real estate markets.

Nestled along the Potomac River, the home is on sale for nearly $62.95 million from TTR Sotheby's International Realty. It ranks as the ninth most expensive home for sale in the country, according to PropertyShark. The real estate website analyzed active listings across the U.S. to identify the most expensive home for sale in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

The Falls went on the market earlier this year, according to The Washington Post. The last owner was the late James Kimsey, co-founder of AOL. Located above Great Falls Park, the home's amenities seem endless: an infinity pool with sweeping views of the Potomac, mahogany library with a wet bar, 3-D media room, master suite with a massage room and private kitchen, and much more. The guest house, known as The Marden House, is a Frank Lloyd Wright creation in the shape of a fish.

Before it became today's lavish mansion, Scott Stupay built the home on the land. According to Washington Business Journal, Kimsey bought the site in 1999.
