Tom Clancy’s Maryland Estate Hits Market for $6.2M

Tom Clancy’s sprawling 537-acre Maryland estate 45 miles outside of Washington, D.C.,  has come onto the market for $6.2 million. The author, known for his best-selling novels such as Clear and Present Danger, Patriot Games, and The Hunt for Red October, owned the estate for decades until his death in 2013 at the age of 66.

The estate encompasses 11 deeded lots, and includes a 17,000 square foot main house, a three-bedroom guest house, a 1,000-square-foot playhouse and a stretch of private beach. Within the main house is an underground two-lane shooting range, an indoor pool with a retractable roof, an elevator and a dramatic wood-paneled office with a built-in writing desk made of petrified wood and floor-to-ceiling bookcases – a writer’s dream office!

The size affords the property multiple uses, which range from a large family retreat to a development opportunity, but the real estate ad warns that the sport facilities on the compound need extensive rehabbing.
