Property Description

CHATEAU DE PORTES — WHERE EUROPEAN ELEGANCE MEETS COASTAL LUXURY Some homes are beautiful. Others are unforgettable. Chateau de Portes is both. Tucked within prestigious Craft Farms, this extraordinary Italian-inspired estate is a rare expression of architecture, craftsmanship, and timeless luxury. A breathtaking two-story entry hall, reminiscent of an Italian village street, features 9-foot mahogany doors imported from Italy at either end, creating a dramatic architectural axis. Inside, Old World brick walls, graceful arches, exposed wood beams, 16-foot wood ceilings, new pecan wood flooring, and designer tile create warmth and grandeur. The spectacular turret houses an elegant dining room surrounded by 10 windows, filling the space with natural light and beautiful views. The impressive great room centers around a massive floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, perfect for intimate evenings or grand entertaining. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring a Viking Professional gas range with double ovens, space for two Viking refrigerators, custom knotty-pine cabinetry, oversized island, and expansive butler’s pantry. The private primary suite offers an extraordinary infinity spa tub with cascading overflow and champagne-like bubbles, plus a spacious walk-in shower with five shower heads. A beautifully crafted wine cellar with four terra-cotta racks accommodates more than 500 bottles. The resort-style outdoor living area, completed in 2023, features soaring 18-foot ceilings, expansive travertine decking, a gunite saltwater pool, and 10-person hot tub. Lush, mature landscaping completes the private retreat, with lawn care included. Seven imported mahogany double doors and mahogany garage doors were refinished in 2023. Chateau de Portes is more than a residence—it is a statement of artistry and refined living, all just minutes from the sugar-white beaches of the Gulf of America. A truly rare opportunity to own an exceptional estate in Craft Farms. Buyer to verify all information during due diligence.
