Le Grand Chateau

THE Estate ENTRANCE is announced by a bridge and an elegant stone gatehouse. The winding private roads connect eleven estates on 44 acres. Each home has been precisely situated so that there is minimal impact from other homes and all views are protected. The all stone exterior, steep roofs and regal turret are reminiscent of a French Chateau, yet unlike the dark interiors of the past, warm and livable spaces with a contemporary touch have been created. Primary among the many exquisite features of The Estate are the 100 year old timber trusses which were obtained from barns and mills in Vermont and Pennsylvania.

Of equal interest, is the majestic fireplace made of seven large stone blocks which were carved in place by a master craftsman. And, not to be overlooked, is the 600 gallon saltwater cylindrical aquarium.
This stately retreat is complimented by top-of-the-line mechanical, entertainment and communication systems. The gentlemen’s pub features cherry wainscot as well as a cherry coffered ceiling. The walls are in green suede to match the felt on the billiard table. The wine room is located behind the granite wraparound bar. The theater adjoins the pub and offers a 110º screen and Crestron-controlled audio visual equipment.

Special guests will feel welcome in the large elegant guest master suite and bath which are highlighted by onyx vanity and bar countertops as well as by a hand-carved marble fireplace. The exercise room is framed by large doors which open up to a heated porch so that you can exercise indoors with the feeling you are outdoors. The opening onto the porch is over 10 feet wide.

The state-of-the-art kitchen is highlighted by a large butcher block island and top-of-the line appliances including two Sub Zero, a 60” Viking range with two ovens, two copper sinks, pot filler, microwave and of course a large walk-in pantry.
Surrounded by the beauty of protected forests, a large heated patio meanders between six ponds and three waterfalls. There is an outdoor Jacuzzi, a fire pit and a meditation area. These elements surround a large grassy area which is sized to accommodate a large tent for social functions. The Falls is more than the sum of its parts, it’s a home to be enjoyed and lived in.
