If they were alive today, America’s founding fathers would own some very valuable real estate. George Washington’s Mount Vernon, with 11,000 square feet on the Potomac River and 7,600 acres, might be the most expensive home in the country, worth as much as $483 million. Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, with 11,000 square feet and 2,500 acres, near Charlottesville, Virginia, might be worth about $400 million. And Alexander Hamilton’s Manhattan townhouse with 5,000 square feet and a prime location would probably sell for about $20 to $35 million.
