Revisiting Chateau Du Lac

I covered this one a year ago but since it has had a $4 million price reduction and there are new pictures I figured it was worth a second look. Chateau Du Lac is far and away the most lavish property in Ellison Bay, Wisconsin. In fact when it hit the market it instantly became the biggest and the most expensive home for sale in Wisconsin history.

The 35,000 square foot chateau is located on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. Jaw-dropping features include the grand parlor, two story library, plush red art deco theatre, the indoor pool and spa with Jerusalem pavers and the 5,700 square foot, seven-room master suite. It comes furnished right down to autographed first edition books, and multiple sets of china, silver and crystal. The 100-acre estate also includes a guest house, a separate studio house, and a separate beach house with steps that lead to a sun pier on the shores of Lake Michigan. It is now listed at $25 million but that may still be an ambitious price unless there is the perfect buyer out there with a love of faux finishes and floral wallpaper.
