Welcome to a French-style chateau estate hidden amidst 24.5 acres of rolling hills reminiscent of serene Provence, as it beckons the most discerning buyer. Built, by industrial architect Robert Downey, the estate is adorned with dramatic sculptures and native plantings, offering unparalleled privacy and luxury. Accessible through a gated, tree-lined winding private drive that culminates in a circular driveway, The Chateau is both discreet and inviting, providing seclusion in the 8 bed/6 bath 13,628 sqft. The estate's timeless elegance is showcased through its four stately chimneys, each anchoring a grand fireplace. The home features multi-pained glass French doors, high ceilings and herringbone brick-laid and knotty pine floors for a rustic-refined ambiance. Arched balconies, adorned with wrought iron railings, overlook the lower-level views. For those seeking a life of self-sufficiency/sustainability, the estate offers the unique opportunity to live off-grid, cultivate a hobby vineyard, or create your own Provence like-hills of lavender fields all while surrounded by the unparalleled beauty and tranquility of bucolic east side Petaluma. The Chateau is not just a home; it's a lifestyle, a retreat, and an artistic sanctuary waiting to be discovered.
