The Adventure Begins!
A Castle Like No Other!
​

 Robert Arthur Palmer has always had a secret love of Castles.  He started to build this fabulous estate on his ranch-land overlooking the rolling hills of Olga Missouri in 2005.

They called the estate "Chateau Charmant" - French for "Charming Castle".   By 2011 the hilltop home included a towering main building, connected by a catwalk to the West Wing, and 65 acres of  natural landscaping, an arched bridge over Martins Branch, a winding road up to the castle with a fountain.
