Extravagant Tour of a $23.8 Million Nashville Mansion Featuring a Fanciful Moon Gate
=====================================================================================================
In the world of high-end real estate, two remarkable properties have caught the attention of potential buyers. One, a car collector's dream home in Vail, Colorado, priced at $27,000,000 USD, and the other, the Truxton Place residence in Nashville, Tennessee, located in the affluent community of Belle Meade.
The Vail Estate
The Vail estate, designed by Edwin Keeble, the architect of the Life & Casualty Tower, boasts a $20 million jump in asking price, primarily due to the addition of new water-based amenities to its grounds. The residence, built in 1970 by John Ramsey and meticulously renovated by Pfeffer Torode Architecture and Phipps Builders in 2015, features an elevator and a spiral staircase connecting the two floors.
The main residence, pool, and pool house, along with idyllic gardens with a whimsical stone moon gate, make up the property. Inside, the primary suite on the upper level boasts a circular-like geometric design, a fireplace, and three sets of doors that open out to a serene view of the grounds. Four other bedrooms and eight bathrooms are spread across the upper and lower levels of the home. The chef's kitchen is outfitted with an upscale gas range, cabinetry in shades of light blue and taupe, and a breakfast bar. A stone patio offers space for alfresco lounging and dining with a view of the expansive lawn.
The Truxton Place Residence
The Truxton Place residence showcases Georgian and Classical architecture with an elegant white-brick facade, symmetrical details, and refined proportions. Landscape designer Gavin Duke and renowned arborist Tom Powers created a private oasis with over 350 tree specimens from various states.
Inside, the formal dining room has an eight-seat table, a wood-burning fireplace, and a trio of French doors that fill the space with natural light. The sunroom on the ground floor is equipped with heaters and another fireplace. The primary suite includes dual bathrooms, one with a massive soaking tub and a marble-lined shower, and two walk-in closets.
The moon gate, built on-site from Texas limestone boulders, links the main backyard to the pool and pool house. The estate is on the market for $23.8 million, and Lisa F. Wilson and Laura Putty Stroud of French King Fine Properties hold the listing. The moon gate symbolizes good fortune and renewal, and swing chairs out front make this a truly relaxing Music City retreat.
