About 8901 Duvall Rd
Situated on over 7 acres of stunning land (with the possibility of additional acreage), Waverly Mansion is a remarkable historical landmark and an exceptional equestrian facility located just minutes away from Washington, D.C. and Annapolis. Constructed in 1855 by John W. Burroughs, a prosperous tobacco grower, this elegant Italianate Victorian home showcases a rare and intact example of the distinctive Big-House two-staircase design popular during that period. The mansion boasts lavish features such as high ceilings, intricate moldings and medallions, timeless marble mantels, original wooden paneling, and exquisite flooring. Upon entering the grand foyer, you are greeted by a magnificent three-story floating staircase, leading to dual formal parlors, a stately dining room, and a gourmet kitchen. The bedrooms are exceptionally spacious, and the luxurious primary suite includes a spa-like bathroom, a walk-in closet, and a utility room. Nestled amidst rolling hills and picturesque landscapes, this private horse training facility offers every amenity desired by equestrian enthusiasts, making it truly top-notch. Waverly Mansion embodies a rare and breathtaking charm. The equestrian facilities and grounds encompass stables with 12 stalls, two of which can also function as run-ins for the horses. Additionally, there is a spacious indoor washing area, an owner's tack room, a boarders' tack room, and an apartment for a tenant or barn manager. Various outbuildings, including a small animal barn, replicate the architectural style of the main house and feature the original smokehouse and summer kitchen. The numerous paddocks are equipped with board fencing and run-ins, while a dressage arena with professional footing and drainage designed to meet USDF specifications completes the ensemble. Situated within the protected Rural Tier, Waverly Mansion shares its borders with the expansive Patuxent River Park, which spans 6,000 acres of wooded areas and offers miles of scenic horse-riding trails. With its extraordinary blend of historical significance, exceptional residence, and outstanding equestrian amenities, Waverly Mansion is a truly unparalleled property in the Washington, D.C. area, providing a unique opportunity to enjoy both city life and the pursuit of equestrian passions. ***Seller also owns additional acreage surrounding the property that can be subdivided.
