A mansion labelled as the Californian ‘Palace of Versailles’ is up for grabs – and you’ll have a bunch of celebrity neighbours including Harry and Meghan.
The Chateau-style estate is situated in the Birnam Wood community, in Montecito, near Santa Monica, a place popular with stars including the royal couple, Oprah, Ellen Degeneres and Adam Levine.
The stunning five-bedroom, 10-bath mansion spans 12,000 square feet and sits on two manicured acres.
Filled with rare and luxurious features, the home boasts imported French marble on the kitchen countertops and throughout the estate, as well as gold bathroom fixtures and historic chandeliers.
The brickwork comes from Italy and the marble alone is worth millions of dollars.
The woodwork design and craftsmanship of the lower-level large closets were inspired by the movie Titanic.
Other unique features include a Swiss bank vault in the butler’s pantry to protect any valuable kitchenware, and an underground tunnel leading to a cellar that can accommodate 200 bottles of wine.
You’ll also find plenty of places to wind down and relax, with a full-service bar, spacious home gym, sauna, steam room, swimming pool, putting green and plans to create an impressive theatre room.
Outside, a 1,000-year-old Carrara fountain enriches a formal garden with roses patented exclusively to the property itself.
The close-knit community provides the highest level of privacy with a full-time security service and two gates.
And when you want to explore the area, the French Chateau-style estate is also a short distance from Montecito Upper Village’s many luxury shops, fine dining locations, the famed Butterfly Beach, and the renowned celebrity-studded Miramar Resort.
The property also sits on the 14th hole of the Birnam Wood Golf Course with direct access to the links, where there are views of the Pacific Ocean, Channel Islands and Santa Ynez Mountains.
The property is being marketed by Berkshire Hathaway Luxury Collection for offers in excess of $295 million (£222 million).
