California Castle Worthy of a Disney Fairy Tale Hits the Market for $29.5 Million—Complete With Gold Accents and Shimmering Chandeliers

by Kelsi Karruli

A stunning California castle that was tailor-made for modern-day royalty has hit the market for a staggering $29.5 million—a price that includes all manner of regal design features, from shimmering chandeliers to gold leaf accents.

Though the luxury Thousand Oaks dwelling was built in 2001, it has a truly historical feel, thanks in large part to the extraordinary level of attention paid to every design detail.

Known as Chateau Plaisance, meaning a castle of pleasure or delight, the property—which is listed by Sher Toor of Compass—is described as "the pinnacle of luxury, privacy, and grandeur."

The castle is nestled in the prestigious Sherwood Country Club and boasts six bedrooms and 9.5 bathrooms in 14,113 square feet of living space.

While the luxury—and sheer size—of its interior dwarfs most other homes, the property's exterior cannot be overlooked.

"A serene large infinity pool and spa with a waterfall, a koi pond, and an ornate iron gazebo overlooking the valley complete this enchanting outdoor retreat."

Upon entering the home, guests are greeted by a grand staircase that opens up to a room with tiled flooring, a grand piano, marble columns, chandeliers, and a mural on the ceiling.

"A grand entrance welcomes you into the rotunda, where a dazzling Baccarat chandelier, hand-painted murals, and a sweeping marble staircase with a gold-leafed iron banister set the tone for the opulence within," the listing notes.

Another room in the home features the same hand-painted mural, gold crown molding, and three chandeliers.

There is also a large mirror, which sits atop a sunken fireplace to keep guests cozy.
