“Hollywood loves this house. Chateau de l’Imaginaire is where the deep south and the south of France converge in an opulent, yet charming way,” said Sonenshine.

“While grand in scale, the home is still very livable, comfortable and ideal for families. It has formal areas and breathtaking gardens, but it also has the coolest playroom I have ever seen,” said Sonenshine.
