Dan Snyder $49 Million Mansion Alexandria, VA FOR SALE

The Snyders sold the Washington Commanders in July 2023 to a group led by Josh Harris for $6.05 billion. They bought River View in 2021 for a reported $48 million and put it up for sale in June 2024 for $60 million. That listing came down around the end of February 2026. The estate returned to market May 20 at $49.9 million, where the asking price still stands nearly six months later.

Michael Sobhi of The Sobhi Group at Real Broker, LLC, now has the listing. The estate is next to River Farm in Fairfax County and has an Alexandria mailing address.

The grounds were once part of George Washington’s Mount Vernon estate. The brick, Federal-style house went up in 2018. Its 16,000 square feet include eight bedrooms, nine full bathrooms, six half baths, and a 15-seat movie theater. It also has a spa with a resistance pool, a three-bedroom guesthouse, and a private dock along roughly 400 feet of Potomac shoreline. If the movie’s a dud, there’s always the river.

Before Snyder, Robert Stevens, former chairman and CEO of Lockheed Martin, owned the property. Mansion Global reported that the $48 million sale set a Washington-area record in 2021. Five years later, even with $10.1 million off the original asking price, the Snyders are asking $1.9 million more than they paid.
