Pleasantdale Chateau

Pleasantdale Chateau
The Pleasantdale Chateau is once again the site of RENEW International's Annual Dinner Gala. The exquisite Pleasantdale Chateau is a former family country residence. The Nichols family of New York was looking for a weekend refuge from city living, and discovered this spot in the hills of West Orange.

Originally, they lived in what had been a farmhouse, but then in the 1920s decided to build the Chateau: the exterior is in the style of a French Normandy house; inside, rooms are an eclectic mix of differing styles: Spanish entry hall with 17^th-century tiles from Seville; swimming pool with Portuguese inspiration; music room with Scandinavian roof; Georgian library among other features. Surely, you and your guests will enjoy the landscaped grounds and gracious ballroom of the beautiful Chateau.
