McLean VA Luxury Real Estate Tour: Inside NoVA's Billionaire Bunker

"I'm talking about Mlan, Virginia. This area was established in 1910 and since then it has grown into what people call Nova's billionaire bunker. Yeah. And there's a reason for that." (0:15) "Recent data shows the medium sales price at MLAN is around $2 million, up 5% year-over-year. Homes get an average of one offer and selling around 55 days on the market. The market there can actually be really competitive with values rising and inventory moves fast in these top tier neighborhoods." (8:58) "Notable residents have included RFK, Ethel Kennedy, and the Hickory Hill Estate in Dick and Lane Cheney." (1:37) "There was actually a house back in there, and this was kind of like kept secret, but someone paid like $18 million, and then they flipped it 4 months later because the buyer missed out on it, and the buyer ended up paying like an an additional $5 million. So, I would assume most of these people that are buying over here by Chainbridge Road have unlimited income, right?" (8:29) "You can honestly see why this is where Northern Virginia's elite choose to live. Beautiful estates, top ranked schools, and properties that rank among the most expensive in the entire region. It's prestigious and luxurious." (9:17)

(1:25) Woodside Estates: "In 2024, two homes sold at an average of $4.10 million compared to $2.27 million in 2023. That's a big jump yearover-year ... the medium sales price is around 2.8 million."

"First up, we need to talk about Langley Farms cuz this neighborhood is considered the top of Nova and you'll definitely see why. Langley Farm sits between Dolly Madison Boulevard in Georgetown Pike, tucked away in the heart of MLAN. It's one of the most exclusive settings you will find anywhere in the region. The location is unbeatable. You're literally two traffic lights away from DC and you are right next to the CIA headquarters. So, you better be careful if you go by there. You can walk to downtown McLean's dining and shopping." (0:36) "The average sales price for a single family home is a cool $9 million, but in 2025, the median listing home price hit around 3.8 million, up 3.2% yearover-year.

(1:25) "So, the thing is about Langley Farms is you're getting the ultra luxury lifestyle with incredible proximity to everything." (2:09)

"All right, we got to talk about The Reserve. This is one of McLean's most exclusive communities. And when I say exclusive, I mean, check this out. The Reserve has 166 luxury estates spread over 255 acres and MLAN. It's west of 495, bordered by Old Dominion Drive to the south, and Georgetown Pike to the north." (2:22) "The community was developed by Miller and Smith with eight custom and portfolio builders between 1990 and the early 2000s. Each home in the reserve is unique. They're designed with different exterior styles and materials, custom features, and personalized interior finishes. You won't find cookie cutter homes anywhere around here. Properties have Georgian colonial style with elegant columns, dormer windows, and thoughtful landscaping and hardscaping. Many homes exceed 10,000 square ft, including the finished basement." (2:39) "The community has a security gate and a gate house with roundthe-clock security. The HOA handles the yard, common area maintenance, snow removal package receiving services, and property checked while residents are away with monthly HOA fees around $450." (3:07) "Properties in the reserve only see a handful of sales per year, typically around like 1 to five a year. There's hardly any homes that actually go up for sale in here. The community hit the top of the market pricing and sold out in less than 3 years during its initial development. And that's pretty damn exclusive." (3:22)

"So we got to talk about Woodside Estates with private lake living. Okay, so Woodsid Estates is a community that's been around since the late 1950s, and it has something really awesome going on here, especially if you like the outdoor. Woodsides Estate is a community with about 200 homes in MLAN's 22102, and it's ranked number six among the area's most expensive neighborhood. The neighborhood dates back to the 1950s. It has large homes of varying styles on pretty spacious lots. Despite being right off the belt, weighing close to Titan's Corner, and heavily wooded neighborhood, it has a secluded private feel." (4:51) "Now, here's what makes Woodsize Estates really remarkable. The main feature here is the private 7 acre Woodside Lake, which you can actually check out at woodside.org. The lake has swimming, boating, and fishing and serves as a gathering spot for community events. The Woodside Lake Association regularly schedules activities for all members. Residents also appreciate the cool, mature trees throughout the neighborhood." (5:58) "The neighborhood's location is phenomenal. You get easy access to MLAN, Tyson's, Route 267 toll road, and the beltway while obtaining that quiet wooded character. People also have access to the private Hamlet and Langley swimming clubs. This is one of those communities where you honestly really feel like you're completely different world even though you're men from everything." (6:19)

"Students attend Franklin Sherman Elementary School, Cooper Middle School, and Langley High School. Now, Langley High School deserves its own mention here because the rankings on it are actually phenomenal. The school is ranked 146 nationally and number three in the state of Virginia with an overall score of 998 out of 100. This school was established in 1965 and named for Thomas Lee's British estate, Langley Manor." (1:41) The Reserve: "Students attend Churchill Road Elementary, Cooper Middle School, and Langley High School." (3:38)

"Now, Chainbridge Road is one of the MLAN's most iconic roads. Understanding this area helps you understand MLAN as a whole. Chainbridge Roads runs from downtown Mlan to Battoic River, passing through some of the area's most prestigious neighborhoods. I remember I was talking to an agent in Malibu one time and he told me that Chainbridge Road is like the East Coast Rodeo Drive and I was like, 'Wo, I had no idea.' Yeah. So that's it's crazy like how the agents out in the LA luxury market even know like Chain Ridge Road and and MLAN community centers there and the Dolly Madison Library are easy to reach from the quarter of downtown McLean centers around the intersection of Old Dominion Drive and Chainbridge Road." (6:43) "Fun fact, many of McLean's roads used to be horse trails, but of course these are long gone. I mean that would be really weird if people in MLAN were riding horse and buggy around. Nowadays, this area has a mix of independent shops, boutiques, restaurants, and small neighborhood businesses while keeping a quaint neighborhood feel." (7:22) "Recent home values has succeeded 17.5 million. There was actually a house back in there, and this was kind of like kept secret, but someone paid like $18 million, and then they flipped it 4 months later because the buyer missed out on it, and the buyer ended up paying like an an additional $5 million." (8:24)

"Now, there is a brand new development opening on Chainbridge Road that's actually creating a lot of buzz. Let me show you. Chainbridge Estates is opening in 2025 at 1620 Chainbridge Road. It's an exclusive luxury community designed for residents 60 and older. These town homes have three to four bedrooms, private garages, in-home elevators, designer kitchens, and spacious covered balconies. It's priced around 2.9 million for four bedroomedroom units with 3,779 ft. Phase 1 begins delivering this year. The gated community has a restoration hardware furnished clubhouse with a state-of-the-art fitness center, spa with therapy pool, saunas, and a medical office. Honestly, a medical office and restoration hardware uh furniture. You can already tell that's going to be really expensive." (7:39)

"The community sits within walking distance of Scott Run Nature Preserve. And let me tell you about Scots Run really quick because it's one of the best kept secrets in the area. Scotch Run Nature Preserve is 366 acre preserve located at 7,400 Georgetown Pike. It has a wooded hiking trails leading to a waterfall along the Battoic Heritage Trail. The trails have a mix of casual walks and rugged path with uphill and downhill portions spanning around 3.1 miles. The park is very popular, but has limited parking, which keeps crowds really small. So, basically, you're getting this incredible gated community with worldclass amenities, but you're also right next to the natural beauty and hiking trails. That's McLean's life. You know, I'm not a big hiker, but if I was going to buy in here and I did hike, I would. You know, I don't think I'm going to buy in there right now. I got to save up my money a little bit more."

(8:58) "You're literally two traffic lights away from DC and you are right next to the CIA headquarters." (0:51) Langley Farms: "$9 million ... median ... 3.8 million." (1:04) "You can honestly see why this is where Northern Virginia's elite choose to live. Beautiful estates, top ranked schools, and properties that rank among the most expensive in the entire region. It's prestigious and luxurious." (9:17) "Our goal is to match you with the right neighborhood. Not just make a sale." (9:41)
