A luxurious estate listed for nearly $3 million near San Antonio’s Shavano Park is fit for a king — maybe even King Louis XIV.
The 9,666-square-foot mansion comes with six bedrooms and six and a half baths. Each room in the French-inspired estate exudes an air of Versailles in its opulence thanks to soaring ceilings, graceful archways and oversized windows pooling light onto its ornately tiled floors.
Thankfully, it stops short of having an abundance of gilded moldings.
But much like the famed French estates it’s modeled after, manicured hedges and lush landscaping frame the approach to the grand residence.
Even though it’s inside city limits, the property boasts more than 6 acres of land, which includes an array of amenities fit for the Sun King himself.
These include a 2.5-acre lake, a picture of serenity with a dinghy docked on its shores and a fountain in the middle.
“Beyond its beauty, the lake serves as the water source for irrigating the grounds, making the property’s extensive landscaping remarkably cost-effective to maintain,” the listing states.
For those who tire of boating, there’s the property’s tennis court, which is in pristine condition and primed for a match.
After a fierce contest on the court, the private sauna awaits for a little tension release and zen.
It’s good to be king.
