The largest residential undertaking in Evergreen, Colorado, on 35 gated mountain top acres, is now available for purchase. Modeled after the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, this limestone masterpiece is nine years in the making and a true marvel of craftsmanship and design. “Chateau V is for us a dream realized. To take inspiration from the Biltmore Estate and create a mirror reality of it here in Evergreen is a pinnacle in our life’s experience,” said the owners of the exclusive estate.
With approximately 20,000 square feet, the home is completely unique in design details and finishes. A community of craftsmen have worked closely with the homeowners and the architect to insure that each piece of stone, stained and diamond cut glass, wrought iron and the 126 chandeliers were all individually created to suit the Castle’s design.
25’ ceilings in the great room, dining room and kitchen turret, all with expansive windows, compliment the 14,000-foot peak of Mount Evans that is showcased throughout the home. Bubble balconies and stone decks abound to invite all who enter to linger and soak in the beauty of one of Colorado’s most majestic peaks. White porcelain and black granite flooring are patterned in each room to match the individual style of the space.
The kitchen is a culinary work of art with two granite center islands, lit etched glass panels, a hammered pewter sink, refrigerator / freezer towers and a fabulous walk-in pantry with a handmade wood framed iron rail door. The La Couture French stove/oven and commercial pizza oven are wonderful cooking advantages for a grand party or family gatherings.
As one approaches the estate, the drive through the porte-cochere is awe inspiring. Twelve dormers face into the motor court/courtyard and each are surrounded by carved limestone figurines. An elegant, oversized balcony is the focal point of the motor court, while the green grass center of the cement driveway plus the nearby lawn add a soft touch to the stone’s stateliness. Topped by a French-style Chateau roof, manufactured by Da Vinci, the finishing touch of the estate is the handmade laser cut metal crest that tops the home.
Three completed master suites all enjoy magnificent views of Mount Evans and St. Mary’s Glacier, 10’ to 12’ ceilings, luxury five-piece baths with “in-mirror” TVs, unique etched glass designs on seamless glass shower enclosures, huge walk-in closets each with washer/dryer, access to stone decks and one-of–a-kind stone gas fireplaces. The main level master, especially sumptuous for the homeowner, also features a sitting area, automated blinds, an oversized retractable TV screen, step-down bubble tub and safe room for glass case jewelry display and other valuables.
The two-story main floor study / den features old-world elegance with its rich dark walnut flooring, double sided stone fireplace and upper level balcony with handmade wood and iron railings. Located off this upper balcony is a “hidden room” for children’s play or reading plus a Cinderella balcony that opens over the main entry foyer.
Twin circular limestone staircases are in perfect symmetry, exuding solidness and light. An ingenious winch is designed to lower the central chandelier for easy cleaning, and an ideal space is provided at the bottom of the north tower for a substantial art sculpture piece. Forward thinking has provided an elevator shaft that is framed out for service to all four levels of the home.
The family room invites fun with two TVs and plenty of room for a billiard table. A bonus area, left unfinished, can accommodate a library, gym or secondary play room. A personal chapel, meditation room or studio is also ready for a buyer’s personal enhancement.
Other features of the estate include: In-floor radiant heat plus central air-conditioning; a wine room with intact natural rock formation; a roof top deck for practicing a golf swing or supreme sun-bathing; oversized garage doors plus a custom powder coat material with rubber matching baseboards in the two, two-car heated garages; 25,000-gallon reservoir; fenced dog area with dog-height windows and shower; main level laundry room.
600 Chateau V Road, Evergreen, CO is offered at $17,500,000.
