Unfortunately the French state has made it impossible for that to happen. Unless you have a multinational company bringing in truck loads of money the French state make sure they empty your pockets.
5.5 mil!? Maaan!! Here in Chicago, for that price all you get is a small, 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath bungalow house right next door to a smelly White Castle fast food restaurant! The closest you'll get to an actual castle lol.
I am like a child longing and dreaming of living in a real french castle since a teenager. I just want to go somewhere cooler and if it snows would be nice too. I could travel and have a few grand small palaces in my fantasies! I love some of the old chateaus that are abandoned in eastern Europe. They are just great but imagine all the work. I think I better work hard if I want that. :) lol. such is life!
Very beautiful however the tax scheme in France will destroy you the cost of this beautiful property seems great but wait for all the taxes and the cost of all the required upkeep.
Agreed... but this is not for people who have the money to buy, it is for those who 5 million dollars means nothing. for those who property taxes will never be a problem
@@Samana009 Well said.. funny thing is California’s homes cost more than Castles anyway ... hahaha. And If the upkeep and taxes are a problem they shouldn’t buy it
@@rmatakovich Sur ce type de propriété rurale les taxes sont très basses (moins cher qu'un appartement à Paris). Le problème c'est l'entretien et le personnel nécessaire pour y vivre au niveau du lieu. Ça c'est très cher. Il est parfois rentable d'en faire un hôtel ou un autre usage commercial...
It looks like the *Fairy Palace* of my dreams. And it has an Orangery!! I was wondering what to do with my orange trees during the winter months LOL!!! Well it's beautiful... and my servants would get leg cramps carrying trays in the long hallways so that's fun. LOL!!
Holy smoke - this is the castle they used in the 1970 horror film, "Dr. Orloff's Invisible Horror!" The movie uses another castle for the interiors (I think). At least, I don't recognize any of the rooms. At $5.69M, it's a steal - in the US there are hundreds thousands of homes far more costly (and they're so ugly compared to this one)!
I'd be curious if it has moisture/water seepage problems because of that moat, particularly if it has a dungeon. Is the moat a low ground drainage basin? Lots of questions about that.
these castles were very well designed, there is no problem if it is still maintained. For drainage, the foundations are very deep and very solid. At the time, they knew how to anticipate any problem, and everything was done to last over time. This is why hundreds of medieval and renaissance castles are still standing and in good condition today. In the "PAYS DE LA LOIRE", a region of France, there are around 3000.
Needs a dry moat with a gorgeous garden in place of the wet moat which causes mold and rot while attracting mosquitoes. But a gorgeous building and property with great potential. What fun it would be to have the interior design contract and landscaping.
Lols I would LOVE to live there. But knowing my luck it would be haunted. I'd get lost in there. I've always wanted a castle with a Moat. I would make it into a. Luxury Bed and breakfast hotel, (gite?)
So much money to run them, not many people want to. Lots in various states of repair, more on the market than demand, so prices are low. You can get a decentish one for $500k depending where you want to be.
The thing everyone has missed, NO bathrooms! 1500's did not have indoor plumbing and it is National historic property, which means no modernization. Notice the kitchen is a separate building
Indoor plumbing was added in the mid 17th century and has been constantly updated and upgraded since and there are multiple kitchens it’s not like no one has been living in it or made any changes to it since it was built.
What a shame these beautiful old works of art have to be neglected! Look at the workmanship involved. You could not built this today for any amount of money. Too bad someone like Bill Gates does not buy and restore it. The place would make a beautiful European retreat for some billionaire.
This castle oroginary of the XVI° century was completely restaured in the ideal gothic renaissance style during the XIX° century like Pierrefond near Compiègne in North of Paris...
As a Dane from the Kingdom of Denmark I can tell you that heating this monstrosity is a nightmare. Maintaining it is an even bigger nightmare, and fixing it up to 20th century standards of living a yet bigger nightmare. Yes it looks bewitching. It's not although it probably is haunted!
welcome to classified historic monuments and you have to hire qualified contractors and manage it closely. I am French and have several friends from noble origin that would take any deal to off-load their castle. The upkeep is steep but if you have deep pocket, this is very rewarding to own a piece of history and preserve it. if you can turn it into a Hotel & Restaurant of high standing... but the tourisme recovery is a long way away... In any case, taxes and other obligations are not pocket change...
Is there any political party in France willing to lower the taxes to make these castles more affordable to foreign buyers? Seems like a problem Congress could easily fix
The French government needs to buy these one by one as they go for sale, renovate them, employ a staff to create a money maker ! As long as you have paying visitors, no chateau will ever deteriorate again. Seems like there is a healthy interest in French chateaus recently and these estates could support themselves and all involved forever.
@@jody024 And 5.5 million is just the beginning. The taxes and maintenance costs would be outrageous. Anybody for heating all those rooms in the icy cold European winters?
@@jackmorgan1677 FYI there is no such thing as "European winters" since the temps vary a lot from northern Europe to southern Europe. Winters in central france are cold but managable. A rich owner can afford it anyway though.
Cheryl, you probably are right. A home like this would not last long, as we are seeing many millionaires coming along now with winning lotteries and often huge amounts when they do.
Erm… all that water at the foundation is troubling. Depending on how much the waterline fluctuates and where it seeps in, that could get really smelly and gross. That may be why it's so cheap for being so well maintained on the upper levels.
This castle is over 500 years old with walls that are several feet thick. They were made to withstand all sorts of conditions. I'd say it has stood up to humidity very well.
@@GODSLUV4UNME: Actually, I have visited several castles, including castles surrounded by moats. As I mentioned, castle walls are several (many) feet in thickness and were built using different types of stone material, both for purposes of fortification and water resistance. Take Chateau de Chenonceau, for example. That's one of the castles I saw, and it's surrounded by a moat (water). It was built over 500 years ago and still stands today looking pretty spectacular. Water has not affected it. But speaking of water, you can also check out some ancient Roman bridges in southern France made entirely of stone. Some of these bridges were built over 1,000 years ago during the reign of Julius Caesar.
If money is no problem the fact is you would have to move in every inlaw to fill the blooming thing, and their friends and family's too. Me and the cat would be lost amongst that fabulous architecture.
Love, love this home. Wish I were rich and could afford it and to keep it as it needs to be and have some help cooking and cleaning. Also for outside work. Really would be very comfortable, if it were affordable though for someone like me. Then it could be kept up nicely and taken care of as it should be, as it is only ours temporarily, (as we must leave this earth at some point) and then we must be ready to pass it on to someone else, who truly will love it also! The only drawback would maybe be the fact it is in the water and wonder if this has caused problems in the architecture at lower levels and maybe more? Hope it can pass inspection for the one who buys it though? As that might be a problem? Wonder if that makes it damp? Otherwise, it would be perfect for some lucky owner. But you would need to be rich, as of keeping it heated etc, and keeping it up with some help as some may need to help with various workloads. What nice dance and smaller parties one could have one in a while. This home is worth showing to people to some degree without showing off, just sharing and allowing people to feel the love you have for it.
What would someone do with all those rooms? And keep it warm? With all those high ceilings and long hallways and damp stone in the winter and fall? I can't imagine. 🌬
You would have to drain the mote and do some serious modern waterproofing. Then have to look into heating. This is a 10 million $ +++ property. But would be cool none the less.
@@carolhutchinson7763 These places are avoided like the plague by wealthy French people. They're horrible money pits in terms of upkeep and utilities and French property taxes are brutal. That's why there's always a glut of French country houses and chateaus on the market for dirt cheap prices......but there's always more starry-eyed foreigners to dupe into buying.
The French government would tax the hell out of you, not only local, state, federal taxes but bribing the local inspectors, they would tax your wealth no matter where your money is located at in any country of the world. The upkeep is dictated by France and only certain contractors, building supply businesses can be used on the castle. But is a very beautiful property and grounds and cheap to first purchase. Please believe me I looked it up.
We are not taxed as much as you say! Then we don't have federal taxes because France is a republic without a federal system like the USA or Germany. But what you say about upkeep is true, it is so that the historic buildings remain as they were built. In France, castels are not expensive because we have a lot (about 45,000, including 3,000 just the region "Pays de la Loire")
Even if I had the money I would not purchase a castle like that. It would be cold to live in and just lacking warmth or comfort. One needs a court or retinue of staff to live somewhere like that which sounds fabulous and amazing but I imagine the reality is far from fabulous and would be extremely isolating.

Very beautiful and stunning chateau, but I think it's too dark inside and too expensive to buy and maintain! Dream on!
Look at the kitchen, great for a historical 5 star hotel, with wedding and other high profile events. The money will come back.
Being that close to Paris means there's a good chance it would
Nice joint!! I'm ready to move in.
I need a headquarters, alright. Why, I can't even imagine all of the trouble I could hatch out and devise, here.

And it has an Orangery!! I was wondering what to do with my orange trees
during the winter months LOL!!! Well it's beautiful... and my servants would
get leg cramps carrying trays in the long hallways so that's fun. LOL!!
That could be an amazing wedding and events venue. Close to Paris and a huge hall, likely bedrooms to B and B.

Thank you
how big are the grounds??? That castle looks superb!!!
It is set up as a hotel, might be a good investment.
I wonder how much it would cost to build an exact replica out in the in woods somewhere here in the U.S.A.. Fifty or Sixty million?
You can only make a hotel of it, the kitchen is not Castle like at all, to modern and to industrial.
Nothing like in the old days.
Is that price correct? It doesn't seem right. I would think that could sell for more like 50 million not 5mil
