Leone has spent more than ten years designing and developing the castle with the goal of creating “something completely different than what’s been done in America.” With more than $7 million worth of 22 carat gold leaf, Le Palais has 13 water features—one of which is a 27-foot-tall waterfall— custom marble stairssurrendered with hand made solid wroughtiron railing with 22 carat gold leaf thatcost over $3 million and over $1 million on Trompe L’oeil and murals. More than 2 million man-hours have been required to build Le Palais Royal and over half million leaves of 22 carat gold leaf have been used in the gold leafing throughout the Palais.
“Le Palais Royal represents nearly a decade of hard work,” said Leone.“When we originally put it on the market, we were prepared to see what the response would be.I have toured many of the world’s top estates, and there is truly nothing quite like it anywhere in the world. It offers that rare combination of a palatial estate set on five acres on the oceanfront and all that SouthFloridahas to offer. Many of the world’s great estates or chateaus are remote – far from major cities.They may have Old World charm, but they don’t offer modern conveniences.Le Palais Royal has the best of both worlds. Nothing in the world compares.It is, quite simply, impossible to recreate this masterpiece. It’s one of a kind.”
