Hey Alexa, play “Where the Green Grass Grows.” Leave six lanes of Northern Virginia traffic behind and watch the scenery change as you make your way down the tree-lined roads of Mason Neck to 5963 Evergreen Trail. Just a block from the Potomac River, 0.83 acres offer the opportunity to build a home that feels like an escape from the pace of Northern Virginia without giving up the convenience of living in Fairfax County.
The mostly flat lot offers an appealing potential homesite without requiring you to start by clearing an entire wooded property. Instead, large, mature trees line much of the perimeter, creating natural privacy and the kind of established landscaping that can take decades to grow around a newly built home. A septic drain field application has already been approved by Fairfax County for a four-bedroom home, and the seller also has plans available for the home they originally envisioned building on the property. Use them as inspiration or bring your own vision and create the home you've been imagining.
Picture a home surrounded by mature trees with space for a porch, backyard, fire pit, garden, or whatever your version of getting away looks like. Spend weekends on the water or exploring nearby Mason Neck State Park, with trails, paddling, fishing, picnicking and opportunities to spot the bald eagles the area is known for. Pohick Bay Regional Park is also nearby, offering boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, hiking, camping, a marina, boat launch and seasonal waterpark.
And when you're ready to leave your little country bubble, shopping, restaurants, groceries and coffee are still only about 15 minutes away. Trade traffic and tightly packed neighborhoods for trees, water and room to breathe, and come home to a corner of Fairfax County that feels a world away from Northern Virginia while keeping everything you need within easy reach.
