A gated entrance introduces this exceptional Langley Farms estate which spans over 3.1 acres, making it one of the largest estates in this storied McLean enclave. A gracious driveway winds through meticulous gardens and specimen trees to reveal the 22,000 square foot, stone and brick mansion prominently positioned on the top of the hill. Wrought-iron doors introduce the elegant interiors which connect seemlessly to the spectacular natural setting. An impressive plaster dome presides above the foyer and hints at the elegant molding and custom finishes found throughout the home. Adding to the timeless finishes, Italian marble blends seamlessly with contemporary white oak hardwoods and forged iron railings. Throughout the estate, custom crystal chandeliers illuminate throughout the expansive and open floor plan. A richly paneled library is located just off the entry hall to welcome visitors or to provide a perfect retreat for work. Just beyond, the grand ballroom is appointed with floor-to-ceiling mirrors which reflect the impressive natural beauty which surrounds the estate. Upstairs, the primary suite spans a total of 3,300 square feet and boasts panoramic views of the pool and the gardens beyond. Not to be overshadowed, the primary closet encompasses 1,100 square feet and spans two levels with the finest Italian cabinetry and custom lighting throughout. The nine additional bedroom suites are also gracious and include ensuite baths featuring stunning mosaic work and beautiful views of the gardens. Separate guest or staff quarters are discretely positioned above the garage. The list of amenities continues elsewhere in the mansion: a spa with a massage room, sauna, fitness center, private hair salon, safe room, three wet bars, four kitchenettes (in addition to a main and catering kitchen) a wine cellar, card room, and a professional home cinema are among the amenities in this luxurious retreat. A full-service elevator accesses all four levels of the mansion. Outdoors, expansive terraces overlook a modern lap pool surrounded by dancing fire bowls, fountains and a dramatic waterfall. A fire pit, separate cabana, and a 200-inch outdoor television provide yet another dramatic venue for outdoor entertaining. Extensive landscaping, jogging path, and a French garden inspired by palaces in Normandy. Behind the scenes, commercial-grade equipment allows the entire estate to be self-sufficient and secure; a full-house generator ensures continuous power. Smart home technology equipment controls lighting, sound system, HVAC, and security systems and can be controlled via voice activation anywhere in the world. Ten HVAC zones provide separate thermostats for each bedroom, and 30 cameras around the fully-fenced and gated property provide an additional layer of security. After the sun sets, 350 landscape lights illuminate the estate, and a full irrigation system keeps the landscaping lush and verdant. For the car enthusiast, five stacked parking spaces provide room to house a collection of ten automobiles. Situated just a mile from the George Washington Memorial Parkway and the Capital Beltway, convenience is part of the equation as the estate is only 15 minutes from the White House, embassies, fine dining, and entertainment venues in Washington. World-class shopping at the Tysons Galleria is less than ten minutes away. The mansion is fully complete and ready to host the next generation of gracious living. Unquestionably, Chateau du Soleil is a rare example of uncompromising luxury and one of the finest properties ever to be offered in the region. For added flexibility, the adjoining lot capturing .62 acres is available for separate purchase. Developed by The Building Group, Inc. Mike Mafi, President, Mandy Mafi, Vice President of Design Operation, and John Mafi, VP of Development.
