    WOW, That's amazing. In Southern California a million bucks will get you a 2 bedroom, 1 bath cracker box on a postage stamp of land conveniently located between two busy major highways and at the end of the runway of a busy national airport.

      Exactly! I own a 1425 Sq ft 3bed home on 6500 ft lot just outside L.A. in So. Cal. valued at just over $1M. A straight tradeoff would be more costly, more work, but in beautiful France 😍 only able to visit alas due to visa needs

    I have several friends here in France who own this kind of properties. No insulation in walls, very height ceilings (the temperature is really comfy at 3,50m hight 😅 but not so much at 1,50m where you live), if you are fortunate you have double glased windows, the roof is not insulated at all and often to renovate, wich costs another fortune in France.
    Most of my Friends don't live in these big houses in winter, but in cosy and confortable appartements in town. So the big mansions are not heated in winter.
    Don't forget that fuel prices are waaaaay higher in France than in the US. And most of these properties have ancient heating systems, not very efficient in combustion.
    Habitation taxes are brutal, and they are to pay every year...
    And last but not least, you have to love a VERY VERY rural life, because there is absolute NOTHING around. Next town is Laval, and it is not a big one.
    In this particular château the road is an issue, very nearby. And the farm next to the château (at 50 m distance) is a cow-farmer, so there are noises and smells, depending from where blows the wind. And big machinery passing by very early in the morning. No problem if you like rural life.
    And I don't even mention the parc around, if you like to spend days and days and days gardening it will not be an issue. But if you need a gardener, be prepared to spend another fortune to pay his/their services.
    It's nice to show these beautiful places, but think twice before buying this kind of property.
    There is a reason why they are so long on the market...
    Oh, and I forgot: be aware if the building is under historical classification, if so, even the slightest modification is a nightmare. I know what I'm talking about...

      Nightmare in the making. You need help to maintain and if they get sick of is sick of you you pay and pay and if he never comes back to work you pay for life. If somebody with bad intensions just moves try to get them out. Heating is a problem $$$ you never get it warm even if you spend a fortune, no isolation omg nightmare, 2 type of taxes year in year out, indeed lovely and the neighbors have smelling pigs and nothing you are going to do about it. Terrible location thats why its for sale for ever. If this in the South of France or South of Spain, Portugal.

    Quite lovely chateau! Sometimes if you get trees and bushes along the perimeter of the grounds, it can soften or deaden the traffic sounds. It would be nice if the estate realtor can let you inside and it's another way of advertising the chateau in its raw form. I hope it is like the photographs shown and probably dusty from inactive residents in the home.

      The different friends of mine who own this kind of properties, even if they have serious income, have one thing in common : EVERY CENT they have goes into the maintain of the château. And it never ends: You just finished (after 15 years of never ending repair and renovating), you can start again on things you began with many years ago...
      Some of my friends are very attached to the building, because the family line is related since hundreds of years to the place, but more than one wish he never got the heritage of the château.
      So many people are blinded by the beautiful outside, or like in the video, by the splendid interior shown on pictures. But then you discover that the whole electric system is from the seventies (or earlier), that the walls take humidity from the soil, that the cold is coming up from the ground....

    It does appear that the land is being kept up. The overhead shots are great and do show that the front lawn / garden is well maintained. I was surprised that the outbuilding were outside the gate as they don't look like they are from the drone shots. I did wonder if the inside was staged, and pictures taken quite a while ago and the interior and furnishings look great and being abandoned for a long time is not good. However, the shutters are closed so no sun light can damage the fabrics on the furniture and drapes. When I was watching Chateau DIY there were couples that had that kind of money looking for chateaus. I'm a little surprised no one has bought it. But possibly that was pre Covid as I haven't watched that for quite a while. Thanks Ryan that was fun. Absolutely beautiful interior and not bad exterior as well.

      Even if you could the french administration would certainly not let you see it all re-done and spruced up at your taste because it's old and most likely protected. Therefore any change has to go through the ministry of culture to be approved by their architects and they will ask you to redo it he way French used to work 200 yeas ago. Meaning no (much) modern comfort, no pool, no modern materials. Every concession the architects will give you has its cost in time, stress and money. That and the taxes are the reasons why those properties are much less expensive that one expects.

    But you could get a wonderfull chateau with 15 bedrooms next to Nantes too, because french people are to poor nowadays to afford this kind of homes!

    If it has 11+ hectares I think it’s a steel. I’d love to buy it. Let me see if I can scrounge up the measly $1,000,000 needed. 😊

    Not that it's necessarily relevant to this property but a wealthy family in my area built several homes in the chateau style...they were originally French. One that comes to mind was built in the 1920s. The grounds were expansive and beautiful with gardens, large stables and other out buildings, etc. The chateau itself was as one would expect: Very large, palatial but somewhat cold. Though at first glance, it could have been livable but a large staff would be needed. The heating system was state of the art...in 1920, no AC, antique wiring and plumbing to beautiful marble baths, etc. After a LONG time on the market, the owner wound up offering to give it to a local church. The church agreed to accept the donation but only if the grantor set up a fund to assist in its uptake!! The grantor eagerly agreed.

    I live in a semi next to a railway line and under a flight path to the nearest airport. A million dollars seems a bargain as my house is worth half that.( Prices are crazy in the UK.) The road noise wouldn't bother me. I'd put in triple glazed windows

    In California (where I live) $1,000,000 may buy you a 2-bedroom, 1-1/2 bath bungalow on a crowded street. To be fair, that's in any area surrounding SF Bay.

    Purchase price seems quite reasonable. I would love you to take it one step further: what would the annual taxes be? The estimated annual living costs? Might be able to buy it, but could one afford to live in it?

    When i first moved to France from the UK over 20 years ago, you could get 8 to 12 bed chateau in my region, cote dor for around 250k euro, back when it was around 1.45 euro to the pound , i was tempted but in the end bought a big fermette

    Taxes are HIGH in France, thats why so many castles are left to rot or “cheap”!

    • @flojolivet512
      @flojolivet512 Рік тому

      Property tax is decided locally by city/village department. So property tax for an apartment in Paris could be higher than for a chateau in rural France. It is very expensive to live, restore, maintain, heat such a place not mentioning the garden. In old days they had servants, gardeners etc. Who cost less than today

    • @mamig3216
      @mamig3216 Рік тому

      There’s not only property tax, there’s income tax, inheritance tax, prestige tax, tax if the castle is not lived in and so on. On top of running costs like you mentioned.

    A new listing in San Fransisco, CA with no land, four story single dwelling 6,990 sqft $16,900,000. Single dwelling- 3 bds, 2 ba, 1,922 sqft $1,795,000. That Chateau would be a steal at $1m.

  • @catherinefromchristchurchn6508

    $1,000,000 NZD gets you a standard family house with minimal outside space in Auckland New Zealand. If you are talking US dollars thats probably about 2 million NZD, which still seems like a good deal.
    In summer when the trees are leafy, the road noise probably goes down.

    The chateau looks quite nice, but I would have no need for so many outbuildings. Having to repair and keep them up for no useful purpose would be a greater disadvantage than the traffic noises.

    Ok you should get your real estate license so when Michael buys you can get the commission 🤣 but seriously you should. That said, I was in love with that property just needs a couple tweeks very tastefully done! Why would anyone buy one that needs rehabbed when you can pay that and get a finished product. Great work on finding that one. Noise or not, great find for sure!

    High five-digit maintenance p.a., if not higher, if you don't want the buildings going to rack. Home and garden care and for the land around seems not being feasible by 1 or 2 persons full time. Although work force in France is quite cheap (if you get some in the countryside), this sums up to the costs. Purchase price is just one aspect, even if it sounds very low. The photos from inside the buildings seem to me very optimistic. Rather a cloud-castle or a castle for someone willing to spend many millions.

    Incredible. Comparing it to my million dollar home in California, and trust me it's an average 3/2 1800 sq ft on 4 acres, nothing special at all, there is simply no comparison, this is an incredibly beautiful Chateau. I would happily trade if I had the funds for upkeep and maintenance which would be a bloody fortune I'll bet.

  • @Libertaro-i2u
    @Libertaro-i2u Місяць тому

    The initial purchase price is really the only attractive cost. You've then got to be prepared for major gut renovations and restorations to the exacting standards of the French government and historical restrictions. With all of those rules, it can cost up to 5x the purchase price to get the chateau to be usable again.
