It’s a lot of work and will be very expensive. Doesn’t have much character in the inside.Purchase price isn’t cheap and you need a lot of money to restore the place, even when doing it yourself. But then, Dan bought a burnt out chateau without a roof and trees growing in it and his renovation is progressing nicely.

[@stephen9518]

Dan's building has character and an extremely valuable history, even in the burnt out state. This is just some derelict farmhouse. Not for me.

@@paulb1951 Thats all it is, its far from being a true Chateau, its a simple farm house with lots of outbuildings all joined together, something you would have found all through France and Spain

The wall of wine vats are architecturally stunning. I would leave them alone.

[@Kimmy-76]

So would I , put wall lights on them and would be stunning at night

[@louiscecere5636]

May the creativity flow!

[@bibit3856]

I get it when Edd says that this is an honest building. This property can be a wellness hotel and spa.

[@predatornz.5493]

Being a farmer loved the old sheds and the very old cowshed now u do not see those head stalls every day and i for one would not take them out i would keep them and do that shed up . Wow . Main house could be stunning i would make that room woth the stone sink a big kitchen everyday dining area and then have a more upper class dining room somewhere else . Beautiful place i hope they do bring the price as u can buy a Chateau thats liveable for that price .

[@hmeyers5114]

I was also taken by the agricultural spaces! Can you imagine when it was all operating every day? The house itself - not so much. But I live in Nebraska. 😉 Lots of appreciation for a good, solid barn.

[@samanthabloggins1775]

I keep thinking this building is straight out of an Historical French movie! 😅😅😅😅

[@cgp1442]

Jacuzzi was my first thought too, lol. Extra large room as well. Maybe an indoor pool ??? The courtyard, just inside the arched entrance drive, needs horses wandering around 😊 The drive up to the arched entrance, should Curve Around a central Round corral, centered on the arched entrance. Add a couple more trees around the coral for shade. 🐴 🌳

[@eamonnryan6602]

Beautiful building with so much potential. Over 600k for a building that's started to get dilapidated. Even if you got it for a 1/3 of the price its easily cost 300 - 500k to renovate to a high standard. Such a shame to see these old buildings go to ruin. I'd love to see it edified back to knew again.

[@earlsandyevens]

Anna has the same vision as Ed. What a team!

[@dianac52176]

Edd, you’re so right. The possibilities are endless. Beautiful property. Thanks for the opportunity to view.

[@maryp2747]

The wine press can be converted into a bar and the room can be used as an entertainment room for guests to use and socialize.

[@alliejones9864]

The Realtor photos with the greenery cut back really give a great impression of the set up, I love the central courtyard feature…..oh if only I were 40 years younger and wiser then than I was………

[@truthchristian921]

The Chateau is big enough to have your children's families live there. It would take at least a million and a half dollars to renovate it as a DIY and a subcontractor working on that exterior wall, roofs and stairways repairs. I would renovate the outbuildings first then rent them for ten years, minimum. It is a charming place, thanks for bringing us along.

[@user-fc2hb3de2w]

It needs restoration more than renovation. Instead of taking out the wine press and vats, leave them and make that a restaurant and a pub with tables in the courtyard, that porch off what I think was the kitchen could be a greenhouse of sorts to grow herbs and veggies to serve the guests. Yes, rooms to stay overnight and gites for sure. It would make an astounding attraction. The only renovation would be where the cows, horses and pigs were kept. If you do buy it that is my recommendation.

[@enidwatson]

Phew thank you for the tour, who ever buys this its more than a weekends DIY project

[@gunterhagendorf8318]

Nope - not for this price. Having done quite some renovations in France I estimate a renovation cost of between 400-600k for a very basic renovation. If you want a more sophisticated renovation, count at least the double.

[@karolynshaw8082]

For the right person the possibilities are endless. It’s got the potential to be an awesome place. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@goldenlady9797]

You are certainly an intrepid videographer, Anna❣ Thanks for showing us this amazing property. With the right owners it could be a bustling location. Hope your back is doing better, Edd. 💕

[@user-dv2pe6cq2i]

The wine press would be a wonderful place to set up tables and have luncheons and outside music. And, bottled wine.

[@silvialeprattomazza6214]

The horse stable would be great for a cozy ramantic restaurant, i think with an open kitchen.

[@divaden47]

One of Edd's understatements! "It's got potential".😀

[@paranihiaanaru4414]

Probably cost the same or more to fix up even if you do most of it yourself. They haven't included all the extra costs either.

[@user-xl3uz5zm5m]

The Wine room with the large tanks and press would make a FANTASTIC cafe setting ! Do NOT remove the large colorful tanks . Polish them up ! what an amazing feature ! In Fact ALL the out buildings would be a wonderful income producer if you opened it up to the public for weddings -n- such , a ballroom , cafe , gardens , events . wow !

These are the times I wish I was 50 years younger. I would get that place on a dime. (The buffet in the first room beautiful). First clear the trees and bushes. Second sweep up and remove rubble. Third measure and put on paper every room and size. Forth secure roof for protection and then sleep on it for a few days

[@williammcrae3177]

Maybe at 339,000 and a TON OF KZbin VLOGS. 😊😊

[@cgp1442]

Jacuzzi was my first thought too 👍. That room is so large, maybe an indoor pool ? The enterance drive up to the arched entrance, should curve around a round coral that is centered on the entrance. Add a few more trees around the coral to shade the horses 🐴 🌳 The buildings themselves are very dark and will need alot of new windows. But its a great unique property with so much potential. I can see it as a Riding School / Equestrian Facility, with living and boarding spaces. P.S. the wine vats. I like them. I'd keep them and use them as a historical feature, maybe even Trompe l'oeil those arched panels ❤

[@hmeyers5114]

Having lived through the 1970s, that wallpaper.... When Edd asked Anna what she thought was on the top floor I said, "Rolls of orange metallic wallpaper!" At least there is no shag carpet. 🤦‍♀ It could be an amazing site for so many purposes, but someone would need to come up with another $700,000 to have the roofs, beams, electric, plumbing (ONE? toilet???), windows, insulation, floors, and that rear corner masonry contracted to be redone. A great project for an investor. I could see it as a series of gites or full-time apartments for people aged 50+ who shared communal areas (the wine press area) and perhaps some equestrian boarding. Probably too far away from major cities for a restaurant to succeed. It could be quite magnificent again!

[@Ana-Maria-Sierra]

I applaud you both for seeing the potential. There’s way too much space for the imagination for me. I’d love to know more about the history and the surroundings.

[@judihopewell2499]

Murals would fit in the arches in the reinforced vat room.

[@catherinefromchristchurchn6508]

I'm thinking a family of three or 4 siblings with partners could all make separate dwellings plus a common space, maybe keep the main house for all the older generation to live in as they need to. Or Ed and Anna for their next but one project! Yes, a really interesting tour.

[@mimibergerac7792]

I really appreciate where I am, when I see this sort of opportunities.

[@emtodd859]

Very very interesting. I see the potential. Cleaned up the grounds can be amazing!

[@suechapman8580]

Not sure how many wows you would need. Thank you so much for taking us on this amazing journey. Through watching your renovations and what Billy does it helps to see the potential. You would just need someone to bankroll the project. 😅x❤😊

[@cathyriley5735]

I kept waiting for impressive remnants to the interior and it was not there. But for a blank canvas, you could update to your taste. It seems like more of a working location around wine and animals.

[@judithjordan154]

You weren't kidding about the potential of that place - it just goes on and on! So much you could do with it!

[@pamelawright1369]

Such a lot of potential, needs such a lot of thought and money, I’m sure you both have a vision how it will look and if anyone can you can do it😂

Oh my word what a joy to renovate. A great place to turn into a onsite business of gites and ??? I am like Edd I see the potential in these type of projects. How exciting it would be to take it on. A whole lot of work but wow the finished project would be stunning. Canadians call the boards at the base of the walls and sitting on the floor, baseboards.

[@leahallen2984]

Baseboards in US, too.

Edd,Anna my tour guides. This chateau is huge. Especially if the horse and cow areas were turned into living spaces. It is a lot of work to transform but, very good structure by itself. So much work and labor required. The place has tremendous potential. The fix up will require a lot of dedication and patience. What a find. Good luck to who ever takes on the job. Please, take care and stay safe. Love ya 🍺🍺🕊❤️🌞👍🌹🇺🇸🌈😇🙏

Anna I have a feeling Ed wants to buy this place. Its a lot for the money and there a lot of work.

Soon as I saw the press I thought hot tub..the 3 large tanks I would cut doors for each and make one a toilet room, the second a sauna and the third a shower.. I would not take those out.😊

[@sylvanaire]

The property is beautiful. And I love the terra-cotta roof tiles. I wouldn’t replace them with slate as much as I like slate generally. And I didn’t like your idea of plastering those beautiful, timbered roof struts, in fact, I didn’t like any of your renovation ideas at all, lol. But since I can’t afford any of this, it really doesn’t matter. Thank you for the tour, though. I really enjoyed looking through such a gorgeous property. 😊

[@florentinalily]

😄Thank for the vlog; great to see that your back is looking better. If Billy Petherick and Dan from Escape to France can do it, so can you!

[@stephjezo6470]

The permit process in France seem mostly easier than here in the US. Listed buildings is where the headaches start. At least that is how it seems. Maybe Edd can talk about it more sometime.

Buy it! I will watch every step of the Reno !!❤🎉

[@joebacarella2829]

I love it uncle Edd, can we get it, can we, teehee, there are a whole lot of rooms that need renovating in this place, besides the purchase price, it would cost a fortune to do room by room . Just imagine how busy this place was back in the day, the horses, the cows, the pigs, this was a working farm and they had a huge wine making operation, I bet a lot of people worked here, I love the turrits, it would take some deep pockets to fix this up to it`s former glory, thanks for taking us along guys.

[@calvarychapelnorthjersey7040]

I think the property would make a nice restaurant. I could see the wine press turned into a bar area and the tall tanks cleaned and polished and left for ambient decoration in a casual but classy seating area. The walls in the other room could be restored and used as a more formal sitting area for private parties. And the outside areas could be used for outdoor seating al fresco, rain or shine since it has a roof.

[@radiogramgramophonetoons5802]

For me……… I would renovate the main house and just leave the outbuildings as they are, tidy the grounds and possibly change the entrance driveway as Edd suggested. Then just sit, open a bottle of wine and chill.

[@imayamin9602]

Its first chateau with wine product......❤❤❤❤❤ Very Very Potensial Invest.....

[@MK-Farm-Michigan]

Put wallpaper over that wall, leaving outline. Edd, I thought you someday wanted to make your own wine. That would be an orangegery.

[@lorns46]

This would be perfect to restore back to a working farm chateau. Any history on this property? "plot of 8.3 hectares" 20 acres... add the winery, cattle on rotation, back to property. Gosh, if only... 😒 It will take a lot of funds to restore/reno. But could be a huge benefit to the community.
