Chateau Louis XIV, a Mansion Outside of Paris Named After the 17th Century French King, Has Broken the Record for the World’s Most Expensive Home After It Reportedly Sold for More Than $300 Million, Accoridng to Bloomberg, It Was Sold to a Middle Eastern Buyer Who Wished to Remain Anonymous.
At a Glance, the 53,800-square-foot Chateau That Serves as the Centerpiece of the 57-acre Property Might Look Like Something Out of 1800s France, but Actually It Was Built From the Ground Up in 2009. The Goal in the Mansion’s Design Was to Combine the Look of an Authentic Versailles-era Castle With All the Modern Conveniences, Like a System That Lets Users Control the Mansion’s Many Devices, Fountains, Lights, and Thermostat With a Smartphone.
The Mansion Also Boasts a Home Movie Theater, a Wine Cellar, a Squash Court, Two Ballrooms, Two Swimming Pools (One Indoor and One Outdoor), and Even an Underground Nightclub. It Even Has Authentic Historical Touches Like a Moat, Although No 17th Century Moat Ever Had an “underwater Meditation Room” With Fish Swimming Around and Above Visitors’ Heads.
17th Century French Castles Were Known for Their Lush, Expansive Gardens, and the Grounds Surrounding Chateau Louis Xiv Are Undoubtedly in Keeping With This Tradition. Colorful Flowerbeds, Topiary Sculptures, and Immaculate Box Hedges Abound Across the Outdoor Garden Space, and There’s Even a Labyrinth as Well as a Small and Fully Functional Farm and Vegetable Garden.
The Gardens Have Been Designed in Homage to Le Notre – the Royal Gardener Under Louis Xiv – and Feature a Gold Leaf Fountain.
Cogemad the Luxury Developer Behind the Project, Said It Took Three Years to Build the Mansion Using 17th Century Techniques and Materials Alongside Specialist 21st Century Craftsmen, Including Sculptors, Mosaic Artists and Coppersmiths – a Work Force of 200 From Living Heritage Companies.
“the Finished Residence Respects the Heritage Aesthetics and Spirit of a Region and a Country, While Celebrating the True Essence of Modern Luxury Living.
The Record for the Most Expensive Home Was Previously Held by a Penthouse in London, Sold for About $221 Million in 2011, According to Christie’s International.
