Through the private, double gated driveway, Chateau de Cheminees is a spectacular European-inspired estate in the heart of Highlands, set on 3.36 acres and comprising a three-bedroom main residence and two-bedroom guest house with loft. With grand entertaining spaces, exceptional craftsmanship, exquisite gardens, and resort-style amenities, it combines the romance of a French country estate with the comforts of mountain living.
The main residence showcases impressive scale and richly detailed interiors, with six fireplaces across the property. A dramatic double-height living room provides an expansive gathering space, while the spectacular sunroom creates indoor-outdoor living through large disappearing pocket doors. The space includes a grill, oven, beverage cooler, dining area, fireplace, and seating area with Scalamandre upholstery.
The striking gourmet kitchen features a barrelled mosaic-tile ceiling, top-of-the-line appliances throughout, and a seating area with a fireplace. A separate butler kitchen, wine cellar, dining room, office, laundry room, exercise room, and powder room add functionality.
The luxurious main-level primary suite includes his-and-hers spa-style bathrooms and custom cedar walk-in closets. Features include a walk-in shower, a grotto-stone-style shower, and a sunken tub overlooking the gardens. Upstairs are two charming guest suites plus a storage room.
A magical guest house has two ensuite bedrooms, a full apartment-sized kitchen, a powder bathroom, a dining area, a living room, a laundry, and a loft accessed via ship-style stairs. A fireplace, elevator, and covered porch with an additional fireplace complete this retreat. An elegant porte-cochere connects the residences. A three-car garage and an additional guest garage provide parking and storage.
Extensively landscaped grounds feature mature trees, stone walls and paths, a rose garden, a koi pond with a waterfall, an expanded deck, a heated spa, a unique exterior pool bathroom, a stone patio, a private nature trail, and gorgeous flowers at every turn.
Architectural details include handcrafted tiles, reclaimed timber, custom cabinetry, and antique furnishings throughout. Offered furnished, with some exclusions.
A rare blend of European grandeur, in-town convenience, total privacy, guest accommodations, and resort-style outdoor living, Chateau de Cheminees is an extraordinary estate for sophisticated living.

Kitchen
Level - MainDescription - The kitchen is one of the natural centres of the home, conveniently positioned beside the office and equipped for both everyday life and entertaining. Its ceiling was lifted and transformed into a barrelled mosaic canopy lending it an almost ecclesiastical quality, while the walls were tiled in tumbled marble sourced from a design studio in Sarasota. Marble countertops and premium appliances bring contemporary practicality.
Laundry
Level - Main
Living Room
Level - MainDescription - The entrance hall opens towards a dramatic double-height living room, where a commanding stone fireplace rises beneath a floor-to-ceiling mantel, evoking the hearth of a medieval great hall.
Master Bathroom
Level - MainDescription - Her bathroom is particularly indulgent, with a grotto-style shower, sunken soaking tub, vanity, and water closet, all positioned to take in views of the gardens. A second cedar walk-in closet provides additional storage, while his bathroom includes a walk-in shower, vanity, toilet, and bidet.
Master Bedroom
Level - MainDescription - Away from the entertaining spaces, the primary suite offers a quieter kind of luxury. Positioned on the main level, it includes separate his-and-hers bathrooms and custom cedar walk-in closets, creating a private retreat within the house.
Office
Level - MainDescription - Conveniently positioned beside the kitchen.
Sunroom
Level - MainDescription - The sunroom is perhaps the clearest expression of Château de Cheminées’ indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The owners added the entire space to what had previously been an outdoor area stepping down from the living room. Original rock was retained on the walls and lightly stained, giving the new room the appearance of having always belonged there. Then there are the windows. With the press of a button, the enormous sliding windows disappear completely into the walls, opening the room onto the garden. A remote-controlled screen can descend over the opening when required, while the space itself incorporates a grill cooktop, oven and beverage cooler.
