"The event was an "end-of-year" sale of luxury real estate by Concierge Auctions, and the property in question was the house formerly owned by Dan Snyder. For those who have followed the saga, the outlines are familiar: Snyder built the estate in the early aughts, after buying the main plot of land from King Hussein and Queen Noor of Jordan, and first tried to sell the property privately in 2018, not long before his ownership of the Washington football team began to founder."
"In 2023, Snyder listed it publicly, for $49 million-which would have made it the most expensive sale in Washington-area history. After finding no takers, he donated the property to the American Cancer Society, which decided to take it to auction. Exactly 1,046 days after it was publicly listed, the question of whether Dan Snyder's onetime home would ever sell had, at long last, reached a climax. "There's strong interest," said Trunzo, calling the acquisition "an extraordinary legacy opportunity." "Let's start the bidding.""
An end-of-year Concierge Auctions event in Manhattan offered a French-chateau–inspired estate in Potomac formerly owned by Dan Snyder. Snyder built the estate in the early 2000s after buying the main plot from King Hussein and Queen Noor of Jordan. He attempted a private sale in 2018 and listed the property publicly in 2023 for $49 million, then donated it to the American Cancer Society when it failed to sell. The auction occurred 1,046 days after the public listing, with the auctioneer reporting strong interest. Snyder's ownership drew controversy after he removed a 200-foot-wide cluster of trees in a scenic easement, prompting a whistleblower complaint and an inspector general investigation; he had offered the Park Service $25,000 for an exemption, which the organization rejected.
