Chateau Artisan is one-of-a-kind castle positioned in beautiful settings, in the middle of a private lake surrounded by regal gardens which create utter seclusion. The chateau follows the archetypal of medieval castles, accessed via wrought iron gates with huge bronze Griffins anchored on either side; a long tree-lined gravel drive winds past the glorious views of the surrounding landscape and leads to a striking obelisk in the center of the driveway. Set on 14 acres in Miami, Florida, the residence enjoys a dramatic setting, appearing as if it is afloat on the surrounding lake. A coral stone labyrinth with rose garden further complement the fairy-tale like surroundings of this remarkable estate.
Built using only the highest quality materials and furnishings available, Chateau Artisan offers impressive interiors matching the palatial surroundings outside. The interior is split in three levels offering eight bedrooms, five bathrooms and five powder rooms. High vaulted ceilings, arched doorways, and white marble-tiled floors create a decadent impression upon entry to the foyer. Further down a spacious kitchen, well equipped with cherry wood cabinetry is adjacent to an expansive wine cellar featuring stone floors, built-in wine racks, and a wet bar.
The property’s focal point is the great room with its forty-foot ceilings decorated with iron chandeliers and white marble flooring. Gorgeous tapestries, draperies, a fireplace, and formal yet comfortable furnishings soften the mood in this enormous room, which opens to a large terrace through mahogany French doors. A state-of-the-art movie theater and a game room with a built-in wet bar provide numerous in-house entertainment options for guests, both rooms are richly appointed with stone floors and timber-framed doors.
"The Chateau Artisan is so perfectly unique, such an artful vision. All of it, from the big picture to every last detail has been designed and carefully chosen for its fit of shape, color, size, material. I am honored to know the architect and to represent this exceptional, one-of-a-kind property," says listing agent Judy Zeder of Esslinger-Wooten-Maxwell, Inc., Realtors.
The estate’s delightful outdoor amenities include a black granite-tiled swimming pool, a covered black-tiled Jacuzzi, a barbecue and a dining gazebo while a mountain has been created to resemble the ruins of ancient times complete with multiple levels ascending to the summit with a huge fire pit.
