THE HOME

Best value in the Moyaone! This five bedroom, four bathroom home strikes a balance that larger houses often miss — genuinely cozy, with rich wood floors, wood-trimmed windows, and rooms that invite you to settle in, yet spacious enough to live, work, and gather at any scale. It has been lovingly maintained within one family for multiple generations. Roof is architectural shingles (replaced in 2018) with gutter guards. Two cozy fireplaces. Double-paned Andersen windows. Brand new HVAC being installed and septic pumped.

A connected full suite functions equally well as an in-law apartment, a nanny quarters, or a private primary oasis — thoughtfully separated for independence while remaining part of the home. It has also been used as a full artist’s studio. It is the kind of addition that quietly transforms how you can live day to day.

THE OUTDOOR SPACE

The grounds surrounding the home are lush and green with many opportunities for admiring flora and fauna. This home is nicely positioned on one of the paved roads in the community (deeper within the community the roads are gravel) with a paved driveway that winds amongst mature trees toward the home. The attached two-car garage currently serves as a fully equipped carpentry workshop, with flexible potential for vehicles, a studio, or storage. The pavilion carport can house an additional five cars. A separate outbuilding shelters lawn equipment.

The property has been designed — and deeply lived in — as an entertainer's destination. The grand pavilion anchors the outdoor space; large enough to host a wedding on site (which it has), it is equally suited to intimate summer dinners, crab boils, a concert on a crisp fall evening (curtains can quickly be pulled around to keep out wind or rain)— the kind of gathering space that becomes a family legend. It also includes a wind-down staircase and electronic lift with an extensive floored storage space in the eaves. An attached winch helps pull heavy cargo from a truck bed.

Multi-level decks wind through the tree canopy, anchored by a stamped concrete patio and custom tiki bar. A fantasy playground, woven into the wooded landscape, gives every generation a reason to stay outside. Walk into the additional acreage behind the house and play in the beautiful creek.

THE COMMUNITY

The Moyaone Reserve is one of the most distinctive communities in the Washington metropolitan area — a 1,400-acre wooded enclave in Accokeek, Maryland, listed on the National Register of Historic Places just 10 miles south of the beltway. It sits within Piscataway Park, a 5,000-acre national park along the Potomac River, positioned directly across the water from George Washington's Mount Vernon. Federal scenic easements — established by Act of Congress and enforced by the National Park Service — protect every property here in perpetuity, preserving the rural landscape and the historic viewshed from Mount Vernon. This is not a developer's covenant. It is an agreement with the American people.

The Moyaone Association is a voluntary community association, with a purpose that extends well beyond property values: to sustain the Reserve's rural character, historic identity, and local ecosystem. Residents enjoy a community pool, community pavilion, community garden, grill house, basketball court, playground, tiki refreshment hut, an active social calendar, and easy partnerships with neighboring institutions including the Alice Ferguson Foundation at Hard Bargain Farm, the Accokeek Foundation at the National Colonial Farm, and the Accokeek Artists Alliance.

The pace is slower here yet connected and vibrant. Enjoy every creative and nature-connected pursuit you can imagine — with good company. Commuting is easy to National Harbor, DC, Alexandria, Arlington, National Landing, Joint Base andrews, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling
