Life at The Clairmont Estate unfolds between water, gardens & beautifully scaled spaces designed to bring people together. Set on 4.5 manicured acres across 2 lots in a private gated enclave near St. Louis, this nearly 12,000 sqft waterfront retreat feels worlds away. Beyond its commanding brick & stone exterior, soaring ceilings, dramatic vaulted rooms, rich millwork & imported Italian tile reveal craftsmanship rarely seen today. At the heart of the home, a Viking-equipped chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry, expansive granite surfaces & sunlit breakfast nook invites everything from quiet mornings to unforgettable celebrations. The main-level owner's suite is a private sanctuary with dual walk-in closets & a spa-inspired bath featuring an onyx steam shower with multiple heads. Outside, days move effortlessly from the saltwater pool & hot tub to waterfront terraces overlooking a stocked 7-acre lake. Evenings belong beside the fireplace on the covered porch, surrounded by lush landscaping & reclaimed brick. The lower level extends the experience with a custom bar, fitness area, steam room & private theater. A fully independent 2-bedroom, 3.5-bath guest house with full kitchen, laundry & powered lift offers exceptional flexibility for extended stays or multigenerational living. Geothermal efficiency, heated floors, whole-home automation, steel-reinforced construction & a composite slate roof complete an estate created for privacy, connection & an extraordinary way of life.
