The Shakespeare Chateau Is Now Featured on Mansion Global — A Wall Street Journal Publication

When we launched the Shakespeare Chateau Inn & Gardens at 809 Hall Street in St. Joseph, Missouri, we knew this was not an ordinary listing. What has happened since has exceeded every expectation.

Today the Shakespeare Chateau was featured on Mansion Global as a Top Story — a Wall Street Journal publication reaching high net worth buyers across the globe. This follows a national feature in Dwell Magazine published May 27th, 1M+ organic TikTok views, and tens of thousands of Zillow views and saves since the property came to market.

About the Shakespeare Chateau

Built in 1885 by architect Edmund Jacques Eckel, the Shakespeare Chateau is one of the most architecturally significant and intact Gilded Age estates in America. The property sits on nearly two acres along historic Hall Street in St. Joseph, Missouri, once known as Millionaires' Row, and includes three structures: the grand main residence at 809 Hall Street, a carriage house with three income-producing apartments, and the historic Kirkpatrick/Garth House at 819 Hall Street offering compelling redevelopment potential.

Among its most extraordinary features:

47 original stained glass windows present in every room on the first and second floors. Rare Zuber panoramic wallpaper "Eldorado" installed circa 1920 — a counterpart hangs in the White House. Hand-carved woodwork in cherry, mahogany, oak, and walnut. Encaustic tile floors. Original period chandeliers. Eight fireplaces. A commercial kitchen. Wine cellar. Six guest suites each named after works of Shakespeare.

Named Best Bed & Breakfast in St. Joseph 2026, the property has operated as a destination inn, wedding and event venue, and cultural tour home for 14 years under the meticulous stewardship of current owner Isobel McGowan.

Two Distinct Offerings

The Shakespeare Chateau is available as a residential acquisition at $1,500,000 conveying the real estate only, or as a commercial acquisition at $2,000,000 which includes most furnishings, FF&E, business assets, website, and brand.

What This Means

Two national press placements in Dwell and Mansion Global. 1M+ organic TikTok views. Tens of thousands of Zillow views. This is what happens when an extraordinary property meets an extraordinary marketing strategy.

If you are thinking about selling and want to know what this level of attention could do for your listing, I would love to have that conversation.
