Inspired by France’s Château de Givenchy-le-Noble and designed by the nephew of Hubert de Givenchy, this regal estate has an inimitable ambience thanks to numerous refined imported materials, including Pierre de Bourgogne limestone, 400-year-old ceiling beams, and 18th-century parquet de Versailles floors. Among the highlights are a studio above the three-car garage; a pool and pool house with an outdoor grilling area; and a Smallbone kitchen with a custom La Cornue Château range, a solid limestone sink, and radiant-heated 19th-century tile floors.
