THE MAIN RESIDENCE: The living area, spanning more than 35,000 square feet, unfolds in a captivating tapestry of architectural brilliance. Balconies overlook palatial yet endlessly inviting spaces. Floors of lustrous oak and marble lead through dramatic archways and stately French doors. In the central wing, a formal two-story foyer with dual staircases leads to the grand hall exemplifying the home’s gracious elegance and symmetry of scale, while beyond, the formal great room, bayside parlors, and 14-seat Art Deco cinema are perfect for entertaining guests. A well-placed custom kitchen fully equipped with commercial-grade appliances serves the formal dining room. Dressed in Ann Sacks tiles, hand-painted murals, and MacKenzie-Childs furnishings, the morning room charms all who enter, while the two-story library, enriched by leaded- and stained-glass windows, is a bibliophile’s dream. A pub room, a garden room complete with full kitchen and bar area, and a sparkling indoor pool and whirlpool round out the main-level’s offerings. Château du Lac’s stunning sense of visual harmony is on impressive display in the private quarters, situated on the second floor. No space is truer to the notion of ultimate luxury than the master suite featuring a gallery entry and comprising more than 5,000 square feet—its seven rooms graciously appointed with exquisite detail and handsome furnishings. Another gallery connects the master suite with the northern wing, which offers a fully furnished guest parlor, a galley kitchen, and three additional private bedroom suites with full baths.
ADDITIONAL AMENITIES: Offering further accommodations are the two-story, three-bedroom and two-bath guest house; a second guest house containing two kitchens, three bedrooms, and two baths; and a beach house on the shores of Lake Michigan. Château du Lac is offered completely furnished with art, antiques, furnishings, and accessories.
THE SETTING: Nestled within acres of verdant forest and surrounded by glorious formal gardens, Château du Lac is a triumph of tranquillity and aesthetics. Emphasizing an effusive opulence that is harmoniously at one with its glorious setting, Château du Lac is truly a sensory achievement.
THE LOCATION: Unrivaled splendor has earned Wisconsin’s Door County the deserved title of the “Cape Cod of the Midwest.” Numerous lighthouses stand vigil above Green Bay and Lake Michigan. The allure of numerous lakes and golf courses, as well as hundreds of acres of protected land, has made Door County a serene escape for more than a century. Two nearby private airports provide ultimate convenience—Ephraim-Gibraltar Airport is only five miles away, and Door County Cherryland Airport, just 36 miles away, can accommodate G5 landings
