The over 6,000 square foot Chateauneuf property features a 40-foot barrel-vaulted entrance, suspended staircase and geometric walkways.
In addition to its impressive aesthetics, the home comes with a long list of amenities, including a two-story fireplace, gourmet kitchen, and a master suite bathroom with soaking tub and sauna.
Perhaps most impressive, however, are its outdoor amenities - there are multiple terraces and decks with views of four landscaped areas, as well as a pool and tennis court.
The villa is conveniently located within a 50-minute drive to New York City.
