Situated on over 7 acres of stunning land (with the possibility of additional acreage), Waverly Mansion is a remarkable historical landmark and an exceptional equestrian facility located just minutes away from Washington, D.C. and Annapolis. Constructed in 1855 by John W. Burroughs, a prosperous tobacco grower, this elegant Italianate Victorian home showcases a rare and intact example of the distinctive Big-House two-staircase design popular during that period. The mansion boasts lavish features such as high ceilings, intricate moldings and medallions, timeless marble mantels, original wooden paneling, and exquisite flooring.<br />
Upon entering the grand foyer, you are greeted by a magnificent three-story floating staircase, leading to dual formal parlors, a stately dining room, and a gourmet kitchen.

The equestrian facilities and grounds encompass stables with 12 stalls, two of which can also function as run-ins for the horses. Additionally, there is a spacious indoor washing area, an owner's tack room, a boarders' tack room, and an apartment for a tenant or barn manager. Various outbuildings, including a small animal barn, replicate the architectural style of the main house and feature the original smokehouse and summer kitchen. The numerous paddocks are equipped with board fencing and run-ins, while a dressage arena with professional footing and drainage designed to meet USDF specifications completes the ensemble.<br />
Situated within the protected Rural Tier, Waverly Mansion shares its borders with the expansive Patuxent River Park, which spans 6,000 acres of wooded areas and offers miles of scenic horse-riding trails. With its extraordinary blend of historical significance, exceptional residence, and outstanding equestrian amenities, Waverly Mansion is a truly unparalleled property in the Washington, D.C. area, providing a unique opportunity to enjoy both city life and the pursuit of equestrian passions.<br />
