Sterling VA Real Estate & Land for Sale

A truly rare opportunity in Sterling, VA - 90 private acres in a location where parcels of this scale no longer exist. Three contiguous parcels, mile of Potomac River frontage with direct river access, and existing infrastructure already in place. Just minutes from the Rt. 28 technology corridor, and approximately 4 miles from Amazon's recent acquisition of the GWU Ashburn campus, this property offers a compelling balance of privacy and proximity to one of Northern Virginia's most dynamic economic centers. This property supports a range of potential uses: PRIVATE RIVERFRONT LEGACY ESTATE: For the buyer seeking land, scale, and long-term significance, this is a singular opportunity with the unparalleled ability to create multiple primary residences across three contiguous parcels. 1/4 Mile of Potomac River frontage, direct access to the water and a private boat launch area, plus the existing infrastructure create an ideal setting for a multi-generational legacy estate. - CORPORATE STRATEGIC HOLDING / LAND-BANKING NEAR RT. 28 TECH: For the buyer focused on land, location, and forward-looking value, this is a rare opportunity to control a meaningful footprint in the core of Ashburn's technology growth corridor. Located approximately 4 miles from Amazon's recent acquisition of the GWU campus, this property sits within the path of continued data center and technology-driven expansion, making it well suited for corporate strategic hold, long-term land banking, or future repositioning as the surrounding corridor evolves. - FUTURE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT: For the builder or developer focused on location, land, and opportunity, this property presents a rare chance to create a residential environment that balances density, land preservation, and lifestyle - within one of Northern Virginia's most supply-constrained and economically significant regions. Public sewer and a second deeded entrance exist. Approximately 17 acres lie outside of the floodplain, creating a defined area for potential homesites, while the remaining acreage provides a natural buffer, well suited for a thoughtfully designed community. Prior engineering and traffic study analysis projected approximately 69 homesites with re-zoning. Hamlet subdivision under current zoning is a possibility. - DESTINATION EVENT VENUE IN ONE OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA'S MOST DYNAMIC & CENTRAL LOCATIONS: For the buyer seeking to create a destination event venue with scale, setting, river frontage, and built-in infrastructure, this is a rare opportunity to create a truly distinctive experience. An expansive bank barn overlooks a spring-fed pond - an exceptional focal point for weddings and gatherings. Surrounding acreage provides flexibility for ceremony sites, tented receptions, parking, and curated outdoor experiences. Existing improvements include a primary residence for on-site management or guest accommodations, and a substantial equipment barn with car lift - well-suited for operations/storage. A former airstrip - cleared and maintained - creates a dramatic approach through the property, leading to a potential event site near the river frontage. Brewery, B&B Inn, Farm Winery are Permitted Zoning. Banquet/Event is Minor Special Exception. - CONSERVATION / LAND TRUST: For the conservation-minded buyer or land trust, this property represents an opportunity to permanently protect a substantial riverfront landscape, while also offering the potential for conservation easements and associated tax credit value - aligning conservation objectives with thoughtful land management. - 90-ACRE PARK with DIRECT RIVER ACCESS: For a county or public entity, this property represents an opportunity to establish a lasting community asset - expanding access to the Potomac River while complementing nearby recreational resources such as Algonkian Park and serving a growing population in one of Northern Virginia's most dynamic regions.
