A captivating country estate in Biltmore Forest has entered the market for $6.75 million. Reminiscent of refined chateaus in France, England and Spain, this remarkable residence was designed by renowned architect Robert Griffin. Featuring five bedrooms, four full and two half-baths, the home’s expert appointment of materials strikes the perfect balance between art and design. Located at 9 Brooklawn Chase, the property is marketed exclusively by Marilyn Wright of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Asheville office; listing details can be viewed here.
A Venetian portico — topped by four 25-foot arches and large cast stone columns — welcomes guests to this three-level gated estate surrounded by breathtaking foliage. The elegant interior design showcases pillowed limestone, imported tile and hardwood flooring as well as leaded glass windows and custom plaster moldings. Stunning ironwork and railings were designed like fine jewelry by metalsmith George Dixon. The magnificent living room boasts 20-foot ceilings while the kitchen is crafted with honey-toned maple cabinetry and a glass English conservatory breakfast room. The private owner’s suite features a conservatory bath that overlooks a private garden with an “Old Ruin Wall” for privacy.
Additional luxury appointments include cast stone fireplaces; a Renaissance-style, custom cherry English library by Carl Giesenschlag that accommodates 3,000 books; formal office with views of the gallery; spacious art studio; wine cellar; a two-level rear terrace with built-in commercial grill; and a private rooftop terrace overlooking the property.
