Enberg, who died in December 2017 at the age of 82, purchased the land in 1999 for $850,000. He then built a French-style chateau, which he filled with period-appropriate architectural elements and antiques, including pieces that date to the 16th century.

The 8,576-square-foot chateau has five bedrooms, five bathrooms, and three half-baths. There are also four fireplaces, two offices, and a four-car garage.

But those are mere stats. The real story of the home is its extraordinary craftsmanship. There are a variety of ceilings, including ones with murals, ones made of brick, and ones featuring antique wooden beams.
