Once in a lifetime opportunity to own a fairytale castle with your own, private ski slope! Situated on over 14 acres overlooking the Chagrin River Valley, this exceptional chalet provides the epitome of distinguished living in an unmatched natural setting. Originally designed by Tony Paskevich, this magnificent manse is an architectural triumph with astonishing details and over 12,000 square feet of living space. The property is complete with every possible amenity catering to every possible desire, from a two-lane professional bowling alley to a private ski slope wired for your own chair lift. Beautifully set back from the road by a gated drive, the front entrance is evocative of a romantic fairy tale. A cobblestone paved porte cochere and motor court wrap the property and provide multiple points of entry into the main residence. The front door beckons with stained glass accent windows and opens to the dramatic great room and kitchen. Two stone fireplaces and large windows frame both spaces. The entertaining wing includes a spectacular vaulted game room which opens to the two-lane bowling alley and lounge with a full kitchen. Step out to the multi-level stone terrace to enjoy multiple outdoor fireplaces, full court basketball court, or the exceptional serenity of the beautifully wooded setting. Six bedroom suites can be found on the second floor, including an exceptional owner’s suite. The 5 car tiled garage is heated with custom 10’ solid chestnut doors and a complete guest apartment upstairs. This estate is truly a trophy property for the most discerning buyer.
