A masterpiece of modern luxury and centuries-old architectural details stands on the shores of Lake Norman, enchanting all who step inside. At Chateau Lyon, you will walk on stone flooring reclaimed from 600-year-old farmhouses bordering the Mediterranean Sea, gaze through bronze bay windows replicating those adorning the famous Hotel Le Meurice in Paris, and dine surrounded by original paintings, gold-leaf paneling, and antique fixtures taken directly from an early 1900's reproduction of Marie Antoinette's summer home. Chateau Lyon offers not only the grandeur of scale and proportion, but also lavish attention to detail uneaqualed in the Charlotte region. This stunning gem of residential architecture truly embodies the spirit of the grand estate, bringing a sense of exotic wonder to its waterfront setting on the tip of picturesque and exclusive Alexander Island.
Chateau Lyon was inspired by the French limestone, soaring ceilings, and antique ceramic roof tiles that the furniture entrepreneurs Larry and Jane Hendricks admired on their extensive European travels. Costing well over $20 million to build, Chateau Lyon was completed in 2009, artfully integrating a brilliant collection of French and Italian historic artifacts and masterpiece artisan reproductions alongside technological luxuries discreetly incorporated throughout the estate. The home is now offered at $8 million.
"Built of wonder, grounded in history, and abounding in luxury, Chateau Lyon captures the imagination of all who enter its storied halls."
