Timeless. Elegant. Secluded. Constructed in 1997 of stone imported from Israel, this graceful Buckhead chateau sits on 16 acres that overlook the Chattahoochee River from a 100 foot bluff. It is one of the largest privately-held tracts inside the city. It has been given the name-Salubria- which in Latin means “a place of good health and peace”
The architecture combines classic lines with exquisite materials and craftsmanship, giving the property a fairy tale quality. The gated entrance and sophisticated security system insures total privacy.
Along with sixteen acres of land, some heavily wooded with exotic flora, comes a home, a large impeccable lawn, a koi pond with fountain, and lake.
Jerusalam stone, with its beautiful golden hue, is featured in the home’s 20 inch thick exterior walls, chiseled door and window surround and polished stone floors. Custom carved fireplaces, designed for the living room and three bedrooms, were were also quarried in Israel specifically for this residence.
The roof features antique tiles from a French farmhouse. Each piece of wood was salvaged from old homes and farms. All the window panes show the ripples of antique glass. The powder room ceiling and living room chimney piece are hand painted.
The kitchen is reminiscent of the 1930’s with it’s appliances and massive soapstone sink. Hand hewn oak ceiling beams add to the old world look while at the same time concealing air ducts.

Outdoor spaces include a stone and wood beam pergola as well as 900 square foot patio on the terrace level overlooking the river.
