A friend from Belgium (who was a software pioneer, and made many, many millions) purchased a French castle/chateau about 15 years ago. The annual upkeep of the aging structure turned out to be more than the original asking price, so he abandoned it two years ago. Many of us dream of living in a castle, but when structures are literally hundreds of years old, they are far from self-sustaining. Don't let the asking price fool you, living in a castle can be _very_ expensive.

No doubt. Like older yachts, upkeep, repairs and maintenance costs are excessive. I guess there is a reason the purchase prices are so reasonable.

Fun fact, the kitchens were small in those castles due to the fact that medieval castles didn't have them, due to the liability of fires. Kitchens were separate buildings located adjacent to the castle. And more than a few kitchen houses burned down through the centuries. So those kitchens were added after the fact.

So I guess France is good in particular due to their low property prices in rural France. I have seen some beautiful chateux there and one here was in Limoge I think which is known for extreme good value. I think one of the cheapest areas in France.

It's a lovely romantic idea to own a nice chateau in France but having know a few people that have the practicalities are not so nice. Maintenance costs are crazy but even more so getting building work done in France even more crazy (you sensibly need to import the builders) Then there are the legal restrictions and you are dealing with the local authorities who make the rules dependant on what they had for breakfast. Then once you have everything done and renovated you realise they are terribly badly insulated a pain to keep the heat in and a fortune to make that heat in the first place.

jaya gajjar I hope that by haunted you mean demon infested. Demonic entities love to inhabit large homes. I once had a nightmare about living in a big three or four story mansion and I was on the first floor in the middle of the night and the demons were making loud noises and breaking stuff on the third floor and when I went up to check I saw a dark shadow and immediate ran downstairs and was huddled in the corner of the first floor looking at the other end where the dark staircase was. I wasn’t alone though. But anyways I think about this too when it comes to big houses.

Do the fireplaces need cleaning? Who will do the cleaning and the gardening work? How much will that cost a year? Then there is the big expenses...heating, electrical and water....plus furnishings. WAY over 1.7 million just to move in.

320sf master bedroom. An entire tiny house could fit in. I think this would be great as a Bed & Breakfast. A castle nearer villages, cities would be the ideal place along with weddings, receptions, photo shoots so on.

I'm glad they picked the second castle. I think they will ultimately get the most use out of it if they opt to rent it out as a wedding/ private event venue on weekends. The beautiful grounds and historical aspect--the fact that Kennedys visited there--will certainly be a draw for tourists (particularly Americans) and with 19 bedrooms, they could even turn it in to a seasonal B&B to bring in more income. Pity the kitchen was so tiny but hopefully they can renovate and relocate the kitchen to another part of the house where they can expand and make the kitchen more functional and larger. I hope they were able to buy this place. A follow up episode would be great!

because they want the OLD furniture that goes with the house. you can't replace that. Renovation is for stained wall paper and those tiny kitchens.

Tbh, wanting to buy a castle (and the huuuuuuge terrain going with it) for a million USD in France, especially around Paris... It's absolutely no surprise every castle they visit is above budget! Not even taking the maintenance costs into account, of course.

I love a castle~like houses.. with 5 bedrooms 3 bathrooms, fairly ~sized dining, large kitchen, balcony, small sized cinema room, fairly~sized yard, (I wished for a pool but maintenance is hard so No), of course a huuge living room. I have the design on my head. Ohh! And I love some trees and flowers. 😍 ~ and .... quite neighborhood. And Btw, these Castles are exceptional but too large for our family of four.

It’s four years later 2019... So what was the counter offer? Did they get the castle? Did they refurbish it? Did they live there happily ever after? Or did the headaches of the renovations cause them to have humongous arguments and wind up divorced?

Agree re that however I think most people are not so much hating on as laughing at some of the comments made by them. If one is going to buy a piece of history at the low prices they were offered perhaps one would not quibble over the small stuff. They started off saying they wanted to renovate but then seemed to quibble over some small stuff. I know they want a business but I get why it irritated some, some of their comments. It irritated me a little. I sense though their interest lies more in a business and profit making scheme rather than a love of the history and restoring old buildings, which is what I picked up on with their comments and that is ok too. Anyway the one they chose I think has been sold some time after this was aired but not sure who bought it. I didn't think it was this couple but if it was I hope any modifications were sympathetic to the lovely building.
