Jet-setter David Neeleman’s French chateau-style in New Canaan, Connecticut, is one of this month’s finer additions to the open market. The JetBlue founder has priced the property at $8.3 million.

Part of the pleasure of owning a better East Coast estate is the size of the grounds, and this house sits on nearly three and one-half acres of land. Landscaping incorporates lawns, gardens and mature trees for a classical country-home living style.

The roughly 15,000 square-foot house features a fieldstone exterior. For a 2008-built home, that’s an exotic approach; when combined with a four-floor layout, the result is a home of unusual perceived substance.  Herringbone brick walkways, a varied roof line with a hipped main section, a wealth of leaded French casements, and a recessed main entry also distinguish this house.

The interiors err on the side of traditional. Craftsmanship-rich details begin with the front doors, which are inset with what appear to be hand-blown panes. A carved wood fireplace mantel, ornamental ceiling trussing, and raised paneling are other features of this unusually interesting newer build.

Neeleman founded JetBlue Airways in 1999 under the name NewAir.
