In a very quiet real estate negotiation, the Potomac River-front property of Queen Noor and thelate King Hussein of Jordan has reportedly gone under contract for $7.5 million to a young dot.comfamily, who prefer not to be named.

Also on the over-12- acre property is another home, which was used as a residence for the royal family'sstaff. It is currently on the market for $1.2 million. Sitting on two acres of the property, the Frenchchateau-style home has nine bedrooms and seven bathrooms.

Interestingly, the main house was purchased in 1984 for $1,799,800, and the guesthouse was purchased in1992 for $1,050,000. The extensive security system certainly accounts for some of the appreciation.

Apparently, their 60-acre estate in England has also been put on the market. Next to the British royalfamily's Windsor Castle, it is listed at about $25 million. Queen Noor and King Hussein had celebratedtheir 20th wedding anniversary there, surrounded by many royals, plus stars like Harrison Ford.
