Nestled within a 7.7-acre gated estate, Chateau Lumier in McKinney has hit the market at just under $10 million.

The picturesque abode is located at 1201 Gray Branch Rd in a city boasting some of the region’s hottest ZIP codes for home price appreciation, according to the Dallas Business Journal.

Judging by current demand, a potential buyer should expect to pay 98% of the $9,995,000 asking price, with listings staying an average of 13 days on the market.

Cindy O’Gorman of Dallas-based Ebby Halliday Realtors is the home’s listing agent, and if an in-person tour with her cannot be arranged, there is a virtual option.

Built in 2009, the home features meticulous architectural nuances, such as gold leaf touches, French doors, and a marble staircase with iron rails conjoining the two stories.

While originally listed at $5 million, the bidding for the 14-acre estate will open at $1.5 million. The home is equipped with its own personal Brunswick bowling alley and offers an array of luxurious finishes from Westchester Custom Homes.
