California on the outside, palace of Versailles inside. See this opulent home for sale
A massive mansion with an interior that you don’t see very often has landed on the real estate market in Rancho Santa Fe, California for $19.995 million.
While the outside might look like it belongs in the rolling hills of Southern California, the inside appears to be a completely different story, plucked from a totally different time and place.
“Welcome to our exquisite brand new construction inspired by the grandeur of the Palace de Versailles,” the listing on Compass says. “This opulent mansion located just under 5 miles from the ocean, spans an impressive 11,000 square feet, and 2.7 acres of land offering unparalleled luxury and sophistication.”
This home was inspired by Chateau de Versailles, the French palace and residence of King Louis XIV, who built it himself. These days, it’s a tourist attraction.
Its mini version in California can be somewhat of a shock when walking in as it’s so unexpected.
“With seven lavish bedrooms and nine bathrooms, every aspect of this European-style home exudes elegance and extravagance,” the listing boasts.
“As you step into the foyer, you’ll be greeted by the finest interior decoration materials, with marble imported from Italy and Turkey adorning many areas throughout the home, showcasing the epitome of high-grade stone craftsmanship.”
Other features, per the listing, include:
Dramatic kitchen
Media room
Wine cellar
Walk-in pantry
Patio
Fireplaces

Come and experience the epitome of luxury living in this exceptional home that echoes the splendor of the Palace de Versailles while providing all the modern comforts and amenities of contemporary living.”
