5 Waterfront Estates and Wine Country Luxury in Virginia and Maryland

Along the water’s edge in McLean, 612 Rivercrest Drive doesn’t just look to the Potomac—it meets it, with approximately 85 feet of private river frontage and panoramic vistas that shift by the hour. Beyond the stone façade, three-inch-thick solid stone walls and a castle-inspired silhouette lend a sense of permanence across four levels, refreshed and ready for immediate occupancy. Principal rooms orient toward the river, while the ballroom level opens wide to sweeping water views for entertaining on a rare scale. The chef’s kitchen is anchored by an oversized island and premium appliances, all aligned to luminous sightlines. Upstairs, the primary suite reads like a private observatory, complete with fireplace, seating area, expansive windows, and a spa bath. A glass-and-wood elevator connects it all, with an indoor pool, spa, sauna, steam room, fitness center, and two theaters—including a poolside cinema—below.

Beyond private gates in McLean, 658 Live Oak Drive commands more than three acres where elevation brings cinematic Potomac River views and remarkable privacy. Crafted by BOWA, the stone estate pairs grand scale with restraint: a soaring two-story great room, wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass, turns the river into living art, while French doors open to a terrace suspended above treetops and water. The kitchen is equal parts showpiece and workhorse, with professional-grade appliances, granite surfaces, a walk-in pantry with added Sub-Zero refrigeration, and a hidden bar. A main-level owner’s suite offers windows on three sides, dual dressing rooms, a marble spa bath with jetted tub and steam shower, and a private balcony over the river valley. Downstairs, a lounge with stone fireplace, billiards, wet bar, wine cellar, fitness room, and skylit indoor pool flow to patios and terraced gardens, ending the day in quiet, panoramic light.

Surrounded by 350 acres in Easton, this glass-walled residence is designed for a life that moves easily between refined interiors and open sky. Soaring expanses of glass set the tone, while heated limestone floors bring a quiet sense of comfort underfoot. The gourmet kitchen anchors the main living spaces, and separate owner and guest wings create a thoughtful rhythm of privacy and togetherness; an elevator connects it all with ease. Outdoors, multiple decks extend the day from coffee to late evenings. Resort-style amenities include an infinity pool with a fully equipped outdoor pavilion, plus a tennis/pickleball court. For equestrian pursuits and hosting alike, the property adds a 9-stall barn and a 4-bedroom guest house. A private pier with lift, floating dock, and two slips (4′ MLW) pairs naturally with the surrounding farmland, vineyards, and hunting grounds.

Along the water’s edge at Ship’s Point, this completely private 13+/- acre estate occupies one of the country’s finest residential parcels. A deep water pier extends the home’s relationship to the confluence of Trippe’s Creek and the Tred Avon River, where 270-degree views unfold in every direction. Nearly one-half mile of shoreline wraps around the setting, creating a rare sense of immersion—more peninsula than property. The south-west facing manor house has been meticulously renovated by renowned builder Winchester Construction, balancing the ease of a refreshed residence with the quiet permanence of an estate. Here, days naturally follow the light across open water, with changing skies and tides shaping the rhythm of life in Easton.

Set on 120 rolling acres in Purcellville, 868 Estate Vineyards presents a rare chance to steward one of Virginia’s premier wine estates. Twenty-one acres are already under vine, supporting a broad, thoughtfully planted mix of varietals—Chambourcin, Chardonel, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Tannat, Sauvignon Blanc, Petit Manseng, Merlot, Viognier, and Nebbiolo—anchored by a track record of top-tier recognition. The estate earned the 2020 Virginia Governor’s Cup for its 2017 Vidal Blanc Passito, followed by a string of more recent honors, including best in class at the 2025 Loudoun Wine Awards and multiple Gold distinctions at the Virginia Governor’s Cup and from the American Wine Society. With substantial additional acreage, the land offers clear potential for future vineyard expansion and the continued evolution of its award-winning portfolio.
