Commercial/Industrial - POTOMAC, MD

Albero del Segnale is a never-been-replicated Tuscan-style sprawling villa located on ten acres in the Potomac countryside on historic Civil War property. The property was custom-built to be a center for creativity with artists in mind. Every detail was meticulously crafted with European materials, including reclaimed cobblestone, limestone columns, and over 100 uniquely intricate handcrafted wood doors. The villa's design evokes a traditional Tuscan hilltop village, featuring multiple courtyards, garages, and a three-story bell tower. The varied spaces across the vast estate beckon artists to retreat for creative work and gather together again for inspiration. The main level of the property includes many spaces perfect for both intimate conversations and gathering large groups. The heartbeat of the property in the center is built for entertaining groups showcasing musical genius, including a wood floor built specifically to draw out the sounds of an orchestra and the grand piano. A two-story library with impeccable sound gives artists space for research and contemplation. A professional-grade kitchen allows events to be catered seamlessly and flow easily indoors and outdoors. Storage and office areas on this level of the property are neatly tucked away to allow events to run flawlessly. The indoor lap pool and Turkish baths allow for artistic inspiration, relaxation for potential artists-in-residence, and a beautiful focal point for large events. Eight bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, including a rustic apartment potentially available for a property caretaker, allow for the possibility of artists-in-residence to retreat for longer periods of time at the estate. These eight rooms are also alternatively able to be used as offices or studios, with multiple other spaces across the estate also able to be utilized as individual or group creative spaces, including the garages which are both heated and cooled. The lower level offers practical amenities including a design studio, several large gathering rooms perfect for lectures, presentations, and/or seated dinners, along with a secure 1,600 square foot vault. The ten-acre estate also features outdoor attractions like a workshop, pond, and chapel ruins, ideal for larger group artist retreats, weddings, conferences, showcases, or other gatherings. Albero del Segnale can only be described as perfect for creative souls-chefs, musicians, historians, writers, and visual and performing artists-seeking inspiration in a breathtaking, historically rich environment. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a creative retreat center that can never be duplicated. Let it be the Signal Tree for your institution for generations to come.
