Washington Commanders Owner Dan Snyder Lists Maryland’s Priciest Home for $49M

Dan Snyder, owner of the Washington Commanders football team, has listed his Potomac, MD, mansion for a whopping $49 million. At the current asking price, it’s the state’s most expensive residential listing.

But Snyder doesn’t have to worry about having a place to stay in the D.C. area. He also owns an enormous property on a historic parcel of land in Alexandria, VA. Snyder paid $48 million for his Virginia spread in October 2021. When the this property came onto the market for $60 million in October 2020, it was the priciest property for sale in Virginia.

The Maryland mansion boasts five bedrooms, 6.5 baths, and loads of living space, arranged over a staggering 30,000 square feet and set on nearly 10 acres.

This home is lavishly regal, thanks to its chateau design and limestone exterior. And the property even comes with an actual royal pedigree: It was once owned by Jordan’s King Hussein and Queen Noor.

The astonishing property includes a half-mile-long, gated driveway; guardhouse; manager’s house; and guesthouse. With such amenities, the estate is nearly unmatched in its magnificence. In fact, the only person living larger in the D.C. metro area, is likely the U.S. President himself.

A 24-foot fireplace sits prominently in the entry, which leads to massive living and dining rooms, a library, kitchen, den, and more. Another wing houses a gym, spa lounge, and office, while the lower level features a wine cellar, home theater, and a club room with a bar and televisions.

The main bedroom offers views for miles, along with a sitting room, dressing space, and two spa-inspired baths. The guesthouse has a large kitchen and living and dining rooms. A 12-car garage, with polished floors and a grand spiral staircase, rivals the world’s fanciest auto showrooms.

The Snyder family has owned the Commanders since 1999 and has been involved in a series of controversies, lawsuits, and name changes. Snyder has been unable to lead his NFL team to any sort of sustained success. The Commanders have only advanced to the playoffs six times in more than two decades, never making it beyond the divisional round.
