11656 SANDAL WOOD LANE, MANASSAS, VA 20112

$1,300,000

Perched like a sculpture high above the banks of the Occoquan River, this one-of-a-kind postmodern masterpiece is unlike any other residence in Prince William County. A triumph of architectural artistry, the home was designed by its owner-architect as an homage to the river that flows below it - its sinuous… Read More facade gracefully echoes the curves of the waterway. This 5-acre retreat feels worlds away, resembling the untouched beauty of the Shenandoah Valley, yet it's located just minutes from the VRE Manassas and Manassas Park Stations, offering a seamless connection to the energy of Washington, DC. Wake up to the mist rising from the river and end your days with the golden wash of sunset on the water. With direct river access down a gently winding path, mornings can begin with a quiet paddle or the symphony of birdsong from over ten native species. Here, wild turkeys and red foxes are your neighbors, and tranquility reigns. Step inside, and you're greeted with an interplay of form, function, and fantasy. Angular geometries meet fluid lines in a space that breathes light and texture. Walls curve and bend as if alive, dissolving the barrier between inside and out, and drawing your eye to the panoramic views of the river and woods. The 2,700 sq ft floor plan is masterfully designed with a focus on flexibility, flow, and seamless integration with its natural surroundings. The main level features a serene primary suite with its own private deck, a well-equipped kitchen, convenient laundry area, formal dining space, and a striking sunken living room warmed by a wood-burning fireplace - perfect for cozy evenings. Upstairs, a spacious bedroom with a private deck is accompanied by a full bathroom, a sunlit study that offers inspiring views of the trees and river beyond and a large storage room. The on-grade lower level offers exceptional versatility and can serve as a fully independent living space, complete with a full bedroom, two full bathrooms, a multipurpose room ideal for a guest suite or media lounge, and a second kitchen for added convenience. The interior is a celebration of postmodernism - elegant yet bold, blending natural elements with sculptural precision. Floor-to-ceiling glass and warm wood tones create a harmony that is both calming and inspiring. This is not just modern living - it is elevated living, where design intention meets livable beauty. Beyond the walls, the vision continues. A heated lap pool offers rejuvenation nearly year-round, while multiple decks and a stunning multi-level screened porch create dynamic outdoor experiences in every season. These architecturally expressive spaces extend the home's rhythm outward, framing unforgettable vistas of the Occoquan River from many angles. Whether enjoying a morning coffee or an evening cocktail, these outdoor environments merge serenity with spectacle. And when you're ready to explore beyond your riverside haven, Old Town Manassas awaits with vibrant culture, dining, and historic charm just moments away. Nearby Prince William Forest Park invites you to wander through 15,000 acres of untouched nature. This home isn't just a place to live - it's a retreat from the ordinary, a rare fusion of art, architecture, and nature. Welcome to a home where postmodern brilliance meets riverfront serenity, and the everyday becomes extraordinary. Read Less
