The entire market of western loudoun and adjacent areas is filled with large houses on large pieces of land and owned by people who have lots of money and don’t have to work in the same way DC-centric office drones need to, if they have to work at all.

But to all the inside the beltway drones, these people can’t possibly be spending much on real estate because where does their money come from if they don’t work in a building in DC upstairs from a Chopt?

Wait till you learn there are properties that cost 10x this much.

The real money in the region lives in western Loudoun and they don’t care if you think they live far away and they’re unconcerned with what your commute would be if you lived where they do. To them, the people who are tied to their offices have the lowest quality of life and they can’t understand why anyone would pay millions to be on a 2000sf lot.

My DH and I both work fully remote and we still chose to be inside the beltway in a walkable neighborhood close to metro. Lots of my neighbors are the same. There’s plenty of money close-in and we’re not tied to some office building in DC (hence the dwindling commercial real estate market).

I can’t understand why anyone would pay to live in a McMansion on a plot of land in exurban sprawl (I am someone who needs mature trees and a good coffee shop to walk to).

To each their own, tell all the people in $3M+ homes in Arlington, McLean, Georgetown, CC, Bethesda etc. that the “real money” is practically out in WV.

We get that you "don't understand it." It's clear you don't understand a lot of things. But it's amusing you think your opinion is valid. This is often the case with people who are usually wrong but rarely in doubt, however. Stands to reason.

BTW, the house posted isn't a "McMansion." That's an actual mansion. A lot of the properties out here are.

This is where the old money is. People here aren't wage slaves. We also have mature trees and ... shhhhh ... cawfee. We also have wineries, breweries, mountains, axe throwing venues, charming towns with old fashioned main streets. We have ethnic restaurants and professional sports. All the things. And many things you cannot find closer in.

This house is a mcmansion despite your words to the contrary and you'd better believe people who live in this neighborhood are "wage slaves", what a disgusting term btw, just like everyone else. Ask me how I know dearest pretentious one.

You'll get over it. I'm sorry you have raging insecurity about where you live. Maybe deal with that character defect?

No thanks.

Ha! Didn't even realize that. Beyond me why the developer carved the land up like that.

Probably because the house that has the easement didn't want to pay for it. Wouldn't surprise me at all if that house is part of the original family that owned the farmland before it was carved up into McMansion McFarmlets. That is a spite property line.

What is a spite property line?

Being wealthy because your mee-maw and paw-paw made some money by virtue of being among the first white settlers in the area and enslaving a bunch of black folk is not something to feel proud and grand over. Then again, that is probably exactly what Trumpsters feel grand over.

Oh sweetie, all the slaves were in Alexandria, including the part that it is now Arlington, Fairfax County, especially along the Potomac River, Maryland and DC. The old money in Loudoun County is from the people who made their money elsewhere and moved to Loudoun County to get away from people like you.

I'm not the poster above but just have to point out what a vile person you are. You sound like a lowly re agent.

The real money does not live in a $1.5M home. Please. Middleburg, sure, but this ain't it.

Yes. $1.5M is not real money. Probably at least $5M and more like $8-$10M

As one of the posters who said this was a dog shit house/property but it would sell near asking, I have to laugh at all the sanctimonious dcum posters who have no idea what is going on west of Route 15 but are convinced it’s deep in Appalachia poverty and no one wants to pay millions to live there.

Lots of people moving here from Arlington/Alexandria since COVID. You'd think Hamilton was a gay pride parade with all the LGBT flags.

It sold for approximately $950k in 2015 and now they want over 2.2million for it, absolute insanity for a home that far out! I know the market is radically different than 2015 but that's an insane increase in price!

Do you all think it's a fair price?

Turns out it was a fair price.
