Dan Snyder, the former owner of the Washington Commanders, reduces the price of his Maryland home by $14 million

Former Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder’s Potomac, Maryland mansion has seen a $14.1 million price reduction. Now listed at $34.9 million, the 30,000-square-foot residence remains the most expensive property in the Washington, D.C. suburb based on listing records. Initially priced at $49 million when first listed in February, the mansion, styled after an 18th-century French château, was designed by architect John Ike, interior designer Geoffrey Bradfield, and Horizon Builders. Despite its grandeur, it now holds second place in the metro area’s priciest listings, surpassed by a newly built $50 million home in McLean, Virginia. According to Michael Rankin and Heather Corey of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty, the reduced price presents a rare and enticing opportunity for the next owner of this extraordinary estate.

According to property records, a portion of the estate was acquired from the estate of Jordan’s King Hussein and Queen Noor in 2001 for $8.64 million. Since then, Snyder has purchased several adjacent parcels of land, expanding the estate to a total of 15 acres, as indicated in the listing.

The 30,000-square-foot megamansion features a 24-foot limestone fireplace.

The primary residence boasts a grand foyer with coffered ceilings and a 24-foot limestone fireplace, leading into the double-height living room offering picturesque views of the Potomac River. It connects seamlessly to the dining room and library, as well as a balcony overlooking the water. Additionally, the residence features a chef’s kitchen, a breakfast solarium, a gym, a spa, an office, a mahogany-paneled club room complete with a wet bar and billiards, a wine cellar, and a home theater, according to the listing.

The home features a commercial kitchen.

The residence features five bedroom suites, with the primary suite occupying the entire third floor. Additionally, the estate comprises a two-bedroom guest house complete with a spiral staircase, kitchen, living and dining rooms, as well as a gate house, a six-car garage, and a manager’s house.

Surrounded by meticulously manicured lawns and English gardens, the property offers a tranquil setting.

Former Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder, who founded Snyder Communications, a marketing company sold for $2.5 billion in 2000, held ownership of the team from 1999 until earlier this year. He sold the franchise to a group led by private-equity magnate Josh Harris for $6 billion, as reported by The Wall Street Journal. Harris, co-founder of Apollo Global Management and co-owner of the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers, now heads the team’s ownership group.

Following unanimous approval from NFL owners for the sale, Dan Snyder was promptly fined a record $60 million after an investigation substantiated allegations of sexual misconduct made by a woman. Additionally, another former employee accused the team of improperly withholding around $11 million meant to be distributed among the league’s other 31 teams. This fine comes after a previous $10 million penalty in 2021, following an investigation into the team’s hostile workplace environment, as reported by The Wall Street Journal.
