13320 Signal Tree Lane

Potomac, MD 20854

AUCTION: BID 15-30 MAY. Listed for $11.5M. No Reserve. Starting Bids Expected Between $3M-$6M.This magnificent estate is evocative of the Tuscan countryside, with roots that harken back to the Civil War in the form of an old chestnut tree. The "Signal Tree," after which the property is named, afforded Union troops a clear view of Harper's Ferry and the U.S. Capitol. Albero del Segnale's owners modeled the estate after an Italian hillside borgo, with architectural distinction and curated European materials, eliciting a museum-like sentiment that flows throughout the estate. Antique cotto tiles and cobblestone, artisan woodwork, and expertly crafted, hand-forged iron bring the vision of a palazzo to life. The estate is made for entertainment on a grand scale, from concert spaces on two floors, to intimate spaces perfect for conversation, to palatial, two-story rooms with abundant details to draw the eye. Outside you'll discover a functioning workshop, extensive patios, & charming "chapel" ruins. Enjoy the verdant seasonal beauty of the property, with plenty of space to expand.
