“Dragon Wall Estate’s rare authentic Chinese classical garden was designed and constructed by Beijing architect Yong Pan, the creator of the iconic Missouri Botanical Garden Chinese Garden in St. Louis. All material and labor were imported from Suzhou, the UN World Heritage Centre for Chinese Gardens. It is one of… Read More only a handful of such gardens in the US — the only one integrated with a private residence and available for sale.” Designed for privacy, beauty, and refined living, the estate harmoniously unites exceptional architecture, curated grounds, and one of the most extraordinary Chinese classical gardens in the United States. At its heart, the Zen Garden of Contentment & Happiness is a masterfully composed landscape rooted in traditional philosophy—an immersive microcosm of the natural world where water, stone, pathways, structures, and plantings evoke mountains, rivers, forests, and villages in perfect balance. An authentic Chinese cottage and two traditional pagodas are thoughtfully positioned within the grounds, enhancing both cultural significance and visual serenity. The residence spans approximately 7,100 square feet on a single level, designed to accommodate both grand-scale entertaining and effortless daily living. Organized into three distinct wings—guest accommodations, entertainment spaces, and private owner’s quarters—the home offers six bedrooms and nine baths, complemented by expansive indoor and outdoor living areas. A chef’s kitchen anchors multiple gathering spaces, including a theater room, wine room, gym, game room, and sunroom, while a climate-controlled dog suite with direct access to a fenced garden adds thoughtful functionality. Over 150 feet of decks and patios overlook the gardens, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. Architectural highlights include a dramatic double-height atrium with thirteen windows surrounding a living rock planter with its own irrigation system; a welcoming foyer with a ten-foot Zen waterfall and custom-forged metal entry door; a striking 20-foot double-sided fireplace with seven mantels; and a double-height hexagonal dining room featuring a rotating table for twelve. A richly paneled living room further transforms into a private theater, blending elegance with versatility. Wellness and leisure are seamlessly integrated with an endless indoor pool and spa designed for both relaxation and recreation. A four-car garage and three-car carport provide exceptional flexibility, while advanced security, built-in audio, and extensive custom cabinetry enhance everyday livability. The grounds are equally compelling, encompassing landscaped gardens, mature woodlands, meadows, streams, and an arboretum. A serene koi pond with an integrated stream—home to more than 100 koi—serves as a central focal point, supported by a filtered well system providing irrigation throughout the property. Read Less
