You could be Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s neighbor if you have $30M to spend on California’s ‘Palace of Versailles’
YOU could end up living next to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry if you manage to snag the $29.5million “Palace of Versailles.”
The incredible five-bedroom, 10-bath mansion is located in the Birnam Wood community in Montecito, which has become popular among other celebs such as Oprah, Ellen Degeneres and Adam Levine.
The mansion spans 12,000-square feet and sits on two acres of land.
The home comes with imported French marble countertops in the kitchen and all throughout the estate as well as gold bathroom fixtures and chandeliers.
The marble alone is worth millions of dollars, along with brickwork from Italy. There is also a woodwork design inspired by the Titanic movie for the lower-level large closets.
Snagging this estate also means being the owner of a Swiss bank vault in the butler’s pantry to protect valuables. There is also a wine cellar that can hold 200 bottles of wine that you can get to via an underground tunnel.
Other amenities include a full-service bar, a large home gym, sauna, steam room, swimming pool and putting green.
Outside the property is a formal garden with a 1,000-year-old Carrara fountain.
There’s also an outdoor kitchen with a television, grill, pizza oven, refrigerator, fire pit and conventional oven.
The property also has caretakers’ quarters, five fireplaces and three elevators.
For those worried about safety, the estate boasts an advanced security system and the community has the highest level of privacy with full-time security service and two gates.
Tech lovers will enjoy the home-media system that controls nearly everything in the house from the outdoor light to the built-in surround sound.
The French chateau-style estate isn’t too far from Montecito Upper Village’s luxury shops, fine dining locations, Butterfly Beach and Miramar Resort which is always full of celebs.
The property is also on the 14th hole of the Birnam Wood Golf Course, offering direct access to the links where you can view the Pacific Ocean, Channel Islands and Santa Ynez Mountains.
The estate is being marketed by Berkshire Hathaway Luxury Collection for offers exceeding $29.5million.
