About Saddle Ridge

With 4 homes sold in 2025 at a $1.39M median, Saddle Ridge is a distinctive enclave of mid-century modern and colonial homes set on large wooded lots in Potomac's horse country. Homes along Spur Wheel Lane, Highland Farm Court, and Tack House Court date from 1978 through 2002, and the neighborhood's architectural character leans toward mid-century ramblers with open floor plans, walls of glass, and deep connections to the surrounding landscape. The wide price range in 2025 — from $1.25M to $4.17M — reflects both original-condition mid-century homes and a single estate-scale colonial that pushed the upper end. There is no mandatory homeowner association.

Saddle Ridge sits in one of Potomac's quieter pockets, where two-acre lots and mature tree canopy create a secluded feel despite being only a few miles from Potomac Village. The equestrian-themed street names — Spur Wheel, Tack House — hint at the area's rural heritage. A Realtor familiar with this part of Potomac can help buyers understand the range of home styles and conditions found here, from well-preserved mid-century originals to fully expanded estates.

The neighborhood is zoned for Potomac Elementary School, Herbert Hoover Middle School, and Winston Churchill High School. Travilah Road and Glen Road provide access to I-270 and the broader Potomac road network, while Great Falls National Park and the C&O Canal towpath are a short drive away. For buyers drawn to mid-century architecture on acreage in a premier Potomac location, a real estate agent who knows Saddle Ridge can identify the right opportunity in this low-turnover community.
