Chateau de l’Imaginaire, located in exclusive Buckhead, Atlanta, Georgia, will auction online next month in cooperation with Debbie Sonenshine of Coldwell Banker. Currently owned by internationally-acclaimed landscape architect Scott Hostetler, most noted for his designs at the Disneyland Hotel in Hong Kong, and formerly owned by three-time Super Bowl Champion Steve Wallace, the home has appeared in countless Hollywood television, film, and music video productions, including filming for networks such as VH1, Bravo, and Lifetime and multiple Grammy-award winning recording artists, including Future and more. The property is currently being offered for $4.5 million and will sell with a $2.7 million Reserve to the highest bidder. Bidding will be held November 17–19th via our digital marketplace, ConciergeAuctions.com, allowing buyers to bid remotely from anywhere in the world.

“We are extremely pleased to be offering this property at auction with Concierge Auctions,” stated Sonenshine. “As the leading luxury real estate market in the world, their proven process and world-class database provides unparalleled global reach, speed, and certainty, ultimately allowing us to close in 60 days. We’re confident that our combined efforts will result in a competitive auction, and ultimately identify the right buyer for this highly sought-after property, be it an individual drawn to the favored and familiar film location or a family looking for the perfect place to call home.”

Conceived for entertaining on a grand scale, the estate features a two-story great room/ballroom that can accommodate up to 75 guests, soaring 10-plus foot ceilings throughout, and sprawling, manicured, European-style gardens. Two commercial-grade kitchens provide function while also acting as art pieces for everyday living. For the avid collector, a 25-car motor court and 6-car garage are ideally-suited for putting a collection on display. Atlanta's temperate climate can be enjoyed from the magnificent outdoor space, including a second-floor balcony and a saltwater pool surrounded by a resort-style sundeck, creating a serene setting for alfresco entertaining. 

“This property has been many years in the making and has offered a one-of-a-kind opportunity for me to design without limits, drawing inspiration from legendary European gardens to create a true masterpiece in the heart of the South,” stated Hostetler. “It’s an honor that so many Hollywood productions have chosen our home as a backdrop to creating art in another form, and being meticulously maintained over the years, the home has become a source of pride in both our family and community. We are excited for a new owner to begin the next chapter at Chateau De L’Imaginaire.”

Additional features include a private gated entry; marble, travertine, and hardwood floors complemented by exquisite chandeliers throughout; floor-to-ceiling windows; custom built-ins and fireplace; master sanctuary with a marble spa bath, double vanities, stained glass window, soaking tub; and additional spaces including an executive office, gym/fitness studio, beauty salon, sauna, home theater, and billiard’s room—all just minutes from Downtown Atlanta and Atlanta Hartsfield International Airport.
