This New Orleans inspired custom estate in guard gated Lake Butler Sound is a true masterpiece of a timeless French Chateau. The property is situated on close to one acre of impeccably manicured grounds, and the circular drive, 10 Bevelo gas fired exterior lanterns, copper details, and front porch all add to the allure of this stunning home. As you enter the home through two fabulous custom glass and wood doors, your eyes are immediately drawn to the two-story grand foyer with sweeping staircase and a triple set of French doors leading out to an incredible courtyard terrace. The foyer is simply breathtaking with de Gournay hand-painted wallpaper and sets the tone for the rest of the home. Just off the entry are 12ft European etched glass doors leading to a study with custom millwork, built-ins, and ornate ceiling details, providing the perfect space for quiet pursuits. On the opposite side of the entry is a fabulous seating area with gorgeous details and an abundance of natural light. This area is separated by a double-sided fireplace that leads into the formal dining and wine room, both of which feature more detail and quality finishes than you can imagine. Down a small formal gallery that is beautifully lit by the open courtyard, you will find the spacious kitchen which boasts a vaulted tin ceiling, two islands, prep area, top-of-the-line appliances, walk-in pantry, Busby cabinets, and stone tops. The kitchen opens perfectly to the parlor with its entertaining bar, family room with 16ft vaulted pecky cypress ceiling, and custom built-ins. The family room is surrounded by light with the outdoor living on one side and the courtyard terrace on the other, making it the perfect space for entertaining. The outdoor living area features tongue and groove ceilings, a fully equipped summer kitchen, fireplace, and motorized screen. The backyard is massive and features a large pool, spa, and pavered deck area. There is plenty of space for a future sports court or other outdoor quests. Back inside, a secondary primary suite runs along the west side of the courtyard with a spacious bath, bedroom, and living area. There are two staircases that lead upstairs where you will find the primary bedroom suite with stunning details throughout including a morning bar, spa-like bath, and his and her closets with custom built-ins. Three additional bedroom suites, a loft, gym space, theatre, and game area with bar and full bath complete the second floor. This New Orleans inspired custom estate in guard gated Lake Butler Sound is an absolute gem that seamlessly blends timeless French Chateau architecture with exquisite details both inside and out.
