A 1930s neglected French château was restored with the help of Newberry Campa Architects and decorator Kara Childress. This stunning limestone 30,000 sq ft home is about as luxurious as it gets but still maintains some elements of history and has some comfortable spaces that aren’t overly fussy. Modernized château living at its finest. (Photos from Kara’s website and there are more in this AD feature)
