Great Falls, VA Homes For Sale
You can take typical descriptive catch phrases like “expensive homes for sale” and toss them right off the Richter scale when it comes to Great Falls, Virginia. There are literally well over 100 supersized custom mansions listing for over a million dollars, with top end properties sometimes reaching into eight-figure territory. Located in the northern part of Fairfax County, Virginia, this ultra-high end bedroom suburb is home to roughly 17,000 residents and covers 17 square miles.
The community dates back to one of George Washington’s most ambitious plans—a 17-year effort to tame the Potomac River through five canals known collectively as the Patowmack Canal. The most difficult task was creating a locks system to bypass the Great Falls where rushing water dropped 80 feet in less than a mile. The end result was only a partial success but helped pioneer many subsequent efforts. Today, the remains of the canal and a company town that supported it are managed by the Great Falls National Park. To learn more about Great Falls, VA homes for sale, give us a call today!
