The entrance to the Chateau is just as grand as the residence. You enter through a gated entry and start your slow beautiful climb up to the Chateau. You travel a short way on a gravel road and then turn into the Chateau's private drive, which is paved. The road is tree-lined with beautiful, fenced grounds and lots of pastures and pines. Once you reach the top of the driveway you have a very large, paved parking area and a paved road around the Chateau. The views are stunning all around. The grounds are landscaped with the hot tub area and viewing deck to the left of the Chateau and a fire pit set up to the right of the Chateau.

The San Juan River runs through the town, with its generous trout population, making for great fishing experiences.
