CHATEAU HERBE is a reproduction of an authentic 17th century French Normandy chateau. A gated, tree-lined allée leads you across bridge and pond to beautifully manicured grounds. The setting is a very private 25 acres along Bear Creek with irrigation rights and spectacular views of Mt Ashland.
The Chateau’s design is an enduring classic. The two towers add visual balance to the central foyer and two wings. A solarium in the center opens to one of seven terraces or balconies overlooking the gardens. 17 rooms on three floors are laid out in a flexible floor plan.
An unsurpassed attention to detail is evident both inside and out. Over a thousand trees, a rose garden and 250 grape vines have been planted to define and enhance the property. Dramatic dimensions is the description for over 8,000 sq/ft of living area with individually hand-cut and placed hardwood floors on the first level, soaring ceilings throughout, 3 faux fireplaces, HVAC systems, a 10kw solar power system, 4 separate laundry facilities; even an elevator in one wing!
A gazebo with a reflection pool and marble statuary grace the formal gardens. Expansive lawns and gardens are maintained by sprinklers and drip systems for watering. The excavated stone-faced hillside wine cave could double as an extra garage.
After studying French and taking several business trips and vacations to France, the owner was attracted to the remarkable architecture of the old chateaux. As he says, “many people strive to create enduring artistic works. To me a beautiful building is such a work”.
Take this unique opportunity to explore beyond the ordinary. C’est magnifique!
