"You get in your car, leave the insanity [of the city] and escape to this tranquil hideaway. It appeals to a cross-section of the uber-rich and the uber-creative," said Yohannan, who bought the rundown castle in the early 2000s and renovated it.

Throughout the 13,500 square feet of opulence are imports from 16th-, 17th- and 18th-century Europe that give the castle — formally named "Greystone Court" — a gravitas even beyond its 100-plus years.

Renovating meant "discovering a hidden treasure in every room," Yohannan said. One example: He uncovered 18th-century, hand-carved French Rococo panels in the dining room that had been painted over.

The six-bedroom, seven-bath home boasts 11 fireplaces, a new slate-and-copper roof, and central air conditioning that the original owners could only dream of.
