Through the private, double gated driveway, Chateau de Cheminees is a spectacular European-inspired estate in the heart of Highlands, set on 3.36 acres and comprising a three-bedroom main residence and two-bedroom guest house with loft. With grand entertaining spaces, exceptional craftsmanship, exquisite gardens, and resort-style amenities, it combines the romance of a French country estate with the comforts of mountain living.
The main residence showcases impressive scale and richly detailed interiors, with six fireplaces across the property. A dramatic double-height living room provides an expansive gathering space, while the spectacular sunroom creates indoor-outdoor living through large disappearing pocket doors. The space includes a grill, oven, beverage cooler, dining area, fireplace, and seating area with Scalamandre upholstery.
The striking gourmet kitchen features a barrelled mosaic-tile ceiling, top-of-the-line appliances throughout, and a seating area with a fireplace. A separate butler kitchen, wine cellar, dining room, office, laundry room, exercise room, and powder room add functionality.
The luxurious main-level primary suite includes his-and-hers spa-style bathrooms and custom cedar walk-in closets. Features include a walk-in shower, a grotto-stone-style shower, and a sunken tub overlooking the gardens. Upstairs are two charming guest suites plus a storage room.
A magical guest house has two ensuite bedrooms, a full apartment-sized kitchen, a powder bathroom, a dining area, a living room, a laundry, and a loft accessed via ship-style stairs. A fireplace, elevator, and covered porch with an additional fireplace complete this retreat. An elegant porte-cochere connects the residences. A three-car garage and an additional guest garage provide parking and storage.
Extensively landscaped grounds feature mature trees, stone walls and paths, a rose garden, a koi pond with a waterfall, an expanded deck, a heated spa, a unique exterior pool bathroom, a stone patio, a private nature trail, and gorgeous flowers at every turn.
Architectural details include handcrafted tiles, reclaimed timber, custom cabinetry, and antique furnishings throughout. Offered furnished, with some exclusions.
A rare blend of European grandeur, in-town convenience, total privacy, guest accommodations, and resort-style outdoor living, Chateau de Cheminees is an extraordinary estate for sophisticated living.
