Chateau de Vie

What a place!! I can't believe this is just down the road from me. Beautiful grounds the cake has a great story. It is not old so the history is very short compared to other castles. The detail to each carving, picture and fabric chosen is quite beautiful. The tour guide, the staff in the shop and even some people we chatted with while walking the grounds were all so friendly and knowledgeable. We will go back for the full tour one day! Can't wait to see more.

Tour was good for what they allowed us to see. Really wish they let up go upstairs to the third floor and down to the basement (even if it's not decorated I still think it would be nice to see). The tour guide was a young kid, made some weird jokes. Shop was cute. Kind of pricy. Parabens in lotions - so read ingredients before you buy. Cookies barely tasted of lavender or lemon. And not worth the $5+ they cost. Also this is not a farm, so kind of misleading. They have a couple patches of lavender growing on the property. Overall it was a nice weather day and a unique outing. I'd recommend going once, but you probably don't have to go back.

Had a great time exploring Chateau De Vie. What a great tour. Go do it. The art work, the massive size, the restoration efforts, just so impressive.I highly recommend.

Chateau de Vie means "house of life". Chateau de Vie is a 15,000 square foot mansion and is located in Chandler off of Kyrene and Ray roads.The chateau was built in 1984 with beautiful stained glass, murals and ornate wooden carvings.Not only can you tour this magnificent mansion Thursdays through Saturdays, but now you can also explore the Lavender Farm and gift shop. This Valley architectural gem is constantly being restored as the Goodman family hopes to keep this treasure shining for many more generations to enjoy.Guided Historic Farmhouse Mansion Tours $20 and are purchased at the gift shop. Your purchases go to restoration and preservation efforts.

After driving by this beautiful home for many years we were excited to read that Chateau de Vie "The Lavender Farm" opened for tours. Chateau de Vie provides guided tours at $20 per person which goes towards the renovations and preservation of the home & property. The tour is approximately 45 minutes. Our tour guide was excellent and provided a fun and fascinating history of the property. Each room has its own interesting story. Personally I don't feel this tour is for small children as I think they would be bored. There were two small kids on our tour and they lasted about 10 minutes before the parents had to take them outside. There is a gift shop where we purchased delicious lavender lemon cookies, soaps and lotions. I'm glad we were able to finally see this property up close and learn about the build and preservation history.

A friend heard about this tour at the Chateau De Vie so we had to go. This mansion has lots of interesting history. The tour is well organized and our guide answered many questions for us. It's a beautiful place to visit at least once. Perfect way to spend couple of hours here. Tours were only $20 and can be purchased at the gift shop. The gift shop had many lavender items including cookies, soaps, lotions and candles. It would be a perfect spot to take out of town guests too. Highly recommend!!

Beautiful home. Fun history. Cute gift shop. The lavender lemon cookies are amazing. Not really fantastic for kids. Maybe older ones. The grounds are stunning. Pack a little picnic and relax by the water before or after your tour. Perfect place to do outdoor wedding photos

Driving by this home for many years, I've always been curious about its history and design. It was a great experience to find out about the family who built and lived in the home and all the intricate details of its design. I love that it's right around the corner from me too. When we have out of town visitors, I can point them to Chateau de Vie. Thank you for restoring the home to its original state and opening it up to the public.

I found Chateau de Vie on Instagram and it looked like a fun thing to check out. Did not disappoint! We decided to do the tour , $20 per person but you can walk the front grounds and gift shop at no charge. The tour was so worth it, minimum 40 minutes of history and seeing so many rooms in the mansion. It was beautiful! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and answered so many questions. The gift shop has candles , lotions, soaps , sachets and more. I purchased a candle , 2 sachets and a wonderful lemon lavender sugar cookie . If you're anywhere near the Chandler Az area this is a must see.

Thank you for a nice tour today Daisy ! We really enjoyed learning about the property. The cookies are very good . Can't wait to try the soaps and body scrub . We hope to return to make soap and possibly candles . Everyone was very delightful:)
