A CHATEAU WRITTEN INTO THE LANDSCAPE

You don’t arrive at this estate so much as enter its world.

The drive bends, the trees part, and a rose-covered archway frames a home that feels transported from another time. Limestone, slate, soft light—the quiet confidence of a European chateau set against open Indiana sky.

 

Inside, the house reveals itself slowly, like a story choosing its pace. Pearlized hallways shimmer as you pass. Leaded glass scatters fractured light. Hand-scraped beams carry the weight of a hundred imagined histories.

 

Every surface whispers of intention—Italian marble, Brazilian hardwood, the glow of French chandeliers.

 

A set of French doors opens to a courtyard where silence feels curated.

 

The kitchen, anchored by its La Cornue range, holds the warmth of daily ritual.

 

Beyond it, a sunroom of heated marble becomes a sanctuary where seasons drift by in slow motion.

The primary suite overlooks the pool—mornings soft, evenings unhurried. Upstairs, Juliet balconies turn the gardens into living paintings.

 

And tucked beyond the hedges, the pool house glows like a lantern at dusk, ready for gatherings that stretch long after the sky darkens.

More than a home, it’s a retreat where time moves differently.
