Then you probably know the Huge White Mansion I refer to as the "Miniature White House". It's in Great Falls right before you get to the Great Falls Park, on the left (Coming from 495). I think it was selling of few years back for about 15 Mil.

 

You can have this one in Great Falls for only $6.95 Million.



$5.69 Million in Great Falls, VA

 

hahahahahaha i know EXACTLY what you mean! I drive by it every other day.

 

Its not just the shear cost of those homes that really gets you. The maintenance and utilities are rediculous. Then just add that oh so wonderful property tax. Hahahaha What an absurd amount of money to spend on all that extra space that you may use once every 2-3 months, if ever. People who live in those have all these rooms that mostly go unused. Very sad.

 

I know that house too. Went to an estate sale last week in Mclean. The house was 12k sq ft. Everything in the house was priced at over $1000. I went there hoping to get a good deal. Nope! They even had a Picasso painting for sale. I think it was a copy though, even though they tried to convince me otherwise.

 

oh...also the back roads in great falls are very fun to drive in. Many twisty roads. Andy, You know what I am talking about.

 

Check out some houses down deep in seneca rd.
Also, chain bridge rd. near the potomac has some crazy hidden mansions

 

The red house in the attached pic is my parents house in great falls. I was thinking of having a wash detail day there when it gets warmer. Its also a good area for pics. Plenty of parking in the dead end part of the street too.

 

What do your parents do?

 

I think the "Mars" (chocolate) family live in Great Falls or at least they used too. That house is massive.

 

My friends went to school w/ the "Mar's" son, he drives a Lambo that he happened to break - his dad prochased him a new Lambo, i think he was 16 at the time

 

They own their own government contracting company.

 

Let's setup a "Twisty Roads" meet/drive/cruise through great falls, no newbs that will fly into ditches allowed!

 

Sounds good to me. It would be fun to do it late night when its dark, and there are absolutly no cars on the roads. Granted we also have a problem with driving fast on twisty roads, and LOTS of deer. Could = problems.

 

perhaps a 11 or 12 midnite meet, deers arent a problem, all they are are obstacles that need dodging, that equates to even MORE fun!! =D

 

i like this one, pretty far south of nova - old civil war era plantation house

 

Man that must be the thing to do in the NOVA/MD/DC area. I met a few guys over the past few summers down at our boat who do the same thing - and thier boats were WAY larger than ours

 

Thats crazy - lucky kid!!

I have a buddie who grew up in the next largest house out there. His father used to own several dental practices's

 

That's awesome because I recently started an IT company that we hope to start getting into gov. contracting in 2 years or so.

 

These are 2 of my favorite house's in the Great Falls/McLean area;






The first house belongs to Ian Landy who now works with Pure Exotics, and yes...he has a man-made lake on his property. I had pics before my computer crashed, it's the biggest house i've EVER seen. The GoogleEarth pic does no justice. Some of his car collection;

1.1927 Bugatti Type 35B
2.1929 Bentley 4.5
3. 1939 Jaguar SS100

(If you have an address of a house you'd like to know property value or info about who owns the house, and it's located in Fairfax County...i can get you that info no problem. Please PM me.)
