About the Listing EXPY5 - 3331240
8471 Great Lake Lane is the kind of home that rarely comes along — a peaceful retreat tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac where nature, privacy, and convenience all come together in one unforgettable setting. Over the past 20 years, the current owners have thoughtfully transformed the property into a true botanical sanctuary designed around beauty, wellness, sustainability, and year-round outdoor living. Mature perennial gardens have replaced traditional turf grass, creating a naturally low-maintenance landscape filled with vibrant color, texture, and seasonal blooms while supporting pollinators and biodiversity. Established plantings include an extraordinary collection of Jackson & Perkins roses, magnolias, camellias, hydrangeas, iris, lilies, perennial hibiscus, hollies, flowering ground cover, and climate-resilient gardens intentionally designed to naturally manage rainwater and direct it away from the home. The outdoor spaces feel more like a private park than a suburban backyard. Relax beneath the screened steel pergola, gather around the fire pit with friends, cultivate plants in the tempered-glass greenhouse, or simply enjoy the quiet beauty of the winding garden paths and fully fenced yard. There’s even a large luxury pet retreat thoughtfully integrated into the landscape. Inside, the home continues to feel warm, comfortable, and timeless with hardwood floors throughout, beautiful tile work, spacious living areas, and a layout designed for everyday living. The oversized one-car garage offers additional room for a workbench, storage, motorcycles, bikes, or other recreational equipment. Beyond the property itself, the location is equally special. Situated within a sought-after Fairfax County school pyramid and surrounded by community trails, a neighborhood pool, and mature trees, the setting feels calm and tucked away from the pace of Northern Virginia life — yet you’re still just minutes from Metro, major commuter routes, Reagan National Airport, Washington DC, shopping, dining, and several major employers. This is more than just a home. It’s a place designed to slow you down, reconnect you with nature, and create the kind of everyday peace that’s hard to find this close to the city.
