Property Description

Step into Gilded Age grandeur with this iconic French-style chateau, thoughtfully reimagined for modern luxury. Designed and commissioned for the Drexel family in 1929 by renowned architects Polhemus & Coffin, and inspired by 'La Lanterne' at Versailles, 'Champ Soleil'- French for "Field of Sun" - is a masterpiece of timeless elegance. This landmark property is located at the South end of Bellevue Avenue on a privately sited estate and set on close to 5 acres behind wrought-iron gates and specimen trees. The main residence offers approximately 13,428 square feet of refined interiors, the estate features 7 bedrooms and 8.3 baths, complemented by grand entertaining rooms and a custom paneled library that was imported and re-assembled on site. All new infrastructure with state-of-the-art HVAC and systems. The outdoor spaces include manicured gardens designed by landscape architect Unberto Innocenti, a croquet lawn, a 20' 40' pool, FAA approved heliport, large greenhouse, and expansive terraces for entertaining. A separate two-unit carriage house with additional 4 car garage and workshop on Coggeshall Avenue provide additional accommodations, while vacant land offers potential subdivision opportunity. Meticulously restored and modernized, Champ Soleil seamlessly blends historic character with today's luxurious comforts, preserving the splendor of Newport's legendary Gilded Age. A landmark estate representing a rare opportunity in one of America's premier coastal enclaves.
