Designed to Lead: Where Architecture, Performance, and Excellence Converge. Rising quietly at the end of Ballantrae Court, this exceptional east-facing ultra-luxury residence located in Ballantrae Farms, one of McLean's most prominent neighborhoods, is a study in precision, power, and restraint-crafted for those who expect more and accept nothing less. Set on 1.54 private acres with a resort-caliber pool, expansive terraces, and a thoughtfully orchestrated site plan, the home delivers presence and sophistication without compromise. From the moment you arrive, the architecture signals intent. A metal-and-glass entry opens to soaring 11-foot ceilings, a floating white-oak staircase framed in steel and glass, and interiors defined by balance, flow, and light. Every material is purposeful: 7” wide white-oak floors, custom transitional millwork, solid 8' doors, and floor-to-ceiling Marvin windows that pull the outdoors in while maintaining complete control of comfort and performance through a fully integrated smart-home ecosystem. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is engineered for mastery. Taj Mahal quartzite slabs, bespoke white-oak cabinetry, and a full suite of Gaggenau appliances-including multiple cooking surfaces, steam, convection, and induction-create a space that is as commanding as it is refined. A secondary catering kitchen ensures seamless execution for entertaining at scale, while the adjacent great room opens through automated glass walls to a covered outdoor living room with fireplace, heaters, and travertine flooring-an effortless extension of the interior experience. The upper level is devoted to retreat and restoration. The primary suite unfolds as a private residence within the home, complete with sitting room, fireplace, coffee bar, automated shades, and a spa-level bath with heated floors, soaking tub, and dual water closets. Secondary bedrooms are all ensuite, each finished to the same uncompromising standard, while a glass-enclosed laundry suite and upper-level family lounge elevate daily living. Below, the lower level is tuned for performance and play: an entertainment lounge with walk-out access, a wet bar with curated finishes, a gym with steam shower, a dedicated media and golf simulator-ready room, and a private guest suite. Every space is supported by serious infrastructure-Crestron Home Automation and Control System, luxury elevator access to all levels, 800-amp electrical service, 4-car main level garage with EV-charging capability, generator readiness -ensuring the home performs as beautifully as it presents. For future expansion, an optional 5th and 6th garage with apartment has gone through permitting. This is not simply a luxury residence. It is a statement of intent. A home designed to lead. Minutes to DC, Tysons, and 495. 20 minutes to both Dulles and Reagan Airports.
