Square Feet: $8.8 Million French Chateau Near L.A.
After admiring a European-style home in Florida that interior designer and general contractor Gail Claridge built for her daughter Linda Hogan, the homeowners of this 10-acre estate just north of Los Angeles tapped Gail to fashion their magnificent French chateau. With panoramic vistas of the Santa Monica Mountains, the residence boasts a three-story garden room, pavilion for outdoor entertaining, infinity pool and caretaker's cottage.
