Relocating to the DC metro area? Before you assume Northern Virginia means Fairfax County prices and a 15-foot backyard, see what $1,250,000 buys you 30 miles south of DC in Potomac Shores, one of Prince William County's most sought-after master-planned communities on the banks of the Potomac River. This is the newest and youngest luxury pool home listed under $1,300,000 in Prince William County, Virginia. Five bedrooms, five and a half baths, a custom heated pebble-bottom pool with built-in waterfall and hot tub, and a backyard bordered on three sides by permanent wooded parkland that cannot be developed, with no visible rooftops. A private gate opens directly onto 10 miles of community trails that will eventually connect to the 900-mile Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail. Twelve miles from Quantico. Practical commuting distance to the Pentagon, Fort Belvoir, and Amazon HQ2 via I-95 and Route 1. Future VRE commuter rail station within the community. Rippon Landing and Quantico VRE are accessible now. The main level includes a private bedroom suite with a full bath, completely separate from the main living areas. Functions as an in-law suite, au pair suite, guest wing, or private office. For multi-generational families navigating a relocation together, this floor plan solves a problem most homes cannot. Inside: ten-foot ceilings, rich hardwood floors, craftsman millwork, and a great room with a dramatic wall of windows framing the pool and parkland, no window coverings needed. Gourmet kitchen with white cabinetry, granite countertops, double wall ovens, cooktop, built-in microwave, and large pantry. Primary suite with soaking tub, oversized river-rock shower, private water closet, and a walk-in closet that ends any storage argument. Lower level: custom wet bar, recreation area, flex room, full bath, and walk-up yard access. Potomac Shores amenities: Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, resort-style pools, 13,000 sq ft Social Barn, canoe launch on the Potomac River, future Town Center, and 1,000+ acres of protected trails and green space. Neighborhood schools. HOA $190/month includes high-speed internet, trash, snow removal, pools, fitness barn, and a full resident social calendar. Virtual walkthroughs available for out-of-area buyers. Flexible closing timelines. This is the value that does not exist anywhere else in Northern Virginia at this price point.
