You were meant to buy and lovingly restore this chateau. The previous owners couldn’t be more grateful for you. The fact that you don’t come from money but making your dream come true through hard work, perseverance, intelligence and natural charm is even more intriguing. May your channel grow consistently and large to help provide funds for the restoration. Many blessings to you and your family.

Having a house like this is always strange to me. You constantly need to have people around you. You basically have a 24/7 staff working on the grounds and in the house, and someone has to manage them all. Then there is privacy... It looks amazing but I often wonder how people deal with that (especially introverts).

Gospel of Jesus Christ John 3:16 For God So loved the world that he gave his only Begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not Perish but have Everlasting Life. Jesus Christ Died for the sin of the World, If you believe in ur heart God risen Jesus from the dead and confess him with ur mouth to people you shall be saved. Jesus said I Am The only way to heaven there is no other way! Repent of urs sins (Repent means Change ur Mind turning away from sinful things and being truly sorry for it.) trust Jesus and give ur life to him He Loves you cares about you more than anyone ever will! we are saved By Grace Trough Faith!,this is sin: Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death but the gift of eternal life in our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 3:23 For all have sined and felt short of the Glory of God. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Romans 1:18‭-‬21‭, ‬23 KJV Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9‭-‬10 REPENT OR YOU WILL PERISH REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL GET RIGHT WITH GOD LORD JESUS CHRIST.

I think what happened with Château de Dampierre unfortunately happens with many old estates - the descendants die off or eventually run out of money to properly upkeep it, so it falls into disrepair and even ruin and the lands and buildings are sold off. If they're lucky, a man like you buys them! Someone who is committed to seeing the property restored to its former historical glory. Thank goodness this place wasn't left to ruin, or worse, demolished. Thanks for the financial overview, Antoni!

Wow - I'm staggered. We've just spent roughly the equivalent of €1M (about AUD$1.5M) renovating our home in Sydney when we could have moved to France and lived it up in a chateau with 40 rooms! Seriously - thank you for breaking the taboo and sharing this with us. I would never have imagined such a low entry price, at least compared to Sydney prices. Perhaps we can broaden the scope of our planned move to the country in the next 10 years or so. Well done and cheers from (expensive) Australia - David

It is insane how many Castles actually exist in France. Standing castles with private residencies and historic ruins make up about 45.000 in total which is the most amount in the World. Absolutely insane! No wonder France is such a prominent country when it comes to them and inspired so many authors and directors. Countless of books and movies took inspiration even Disney. I was there myself and couldn't believe how stunning so many of them looked and how good the condition of a lot of them is. What's more is the amount of details they put into them like their vast gardens, furniture and so much more. So much beauty and elegance. I really like how the french like you buy them and renovate them but also want to preserve their history. Architecture like this would otherwise slowly vanish and be forgotten. You gained knowledge before buying this chateau and this is clearly visible in all of your videos so I'm glad someone like you acquired it. Many unfortunately just buy and don't respect the history behind it and just change everything. You are an amazing person and I only ever wish you the very best in your new beautiful chateau Antoni 😊❤

@NZotyoka81 9 ай бұрын

It is not just like in France it is like all across in Europe. All of them are under protection so you can’t just change everything on these buildings. The ownership is comes with an obligation towards the government to restore the building and it’s surroundings.The sale prices may feels low but the renovation costs are enormous not to mention the maintance costs and the utility bills. Here in Hungary we have countless castles and mansions like this. I actually live like 150 meter away from one. I saw it neglecting through decades because nobody has wanted it, then finally someone came and saved it. It’s got restored and repurposed as an event facility. Weddings, classical concerts and other cultural activities happening now in there. Just a few examples what you can find here or on google. Festetics palace, castle of Tura, Esterházy castle of Fertõd and so on. Take a look at these buildings if you have time. I promise it’s worth it.

@godfatherbfh431 9 ай бұрын

Thank you for being so transparent about the upfront cost. The acquiring costs are a one-time cost, as well as big renovations (at least for a couple of generations). I am more interested in the yearly running costs. You talked briefly about the people working around the chateau but there is also heating, electricity, maintenance work and many more hidden costs. Do you budget these? If so, how much do you budget on a yearly basis. Thanks again for being so open, really helps to map out a future project for myself !

@DrMJJr 6 ай бұрын

I’d estimate for the size of the chateau’s curtilage, and regular landscaping about $50k, but maintenance depends on the final renovation’s condition and ongoing consumption costs (assuming that it’s primarily heated/cooled via electrical utilities) at least another $15k (possibly much more).

@newblor 3 ай бұрын

@@DrMJJr Yeah, there's a reason no one wants to buy these homes - they are a money pit. It's why they have to be sold in the first place, and for so little (my 1 bed apartment in London is worth almost as much as his buying price). You will never be able to resell it for what you put into it. So preservation and conversion into a historic monument is probably the only option, with a guest housing if the location is desirable. Watching people supposedly with relatively little cash buy these properties leaves me with mixed feelings.

The video was very interesting. The price you paid for the chateau was amazing. A home in the U.S. cost over $600,000 dollars, and there is no comparison to a chateau.

This is a beautiful Chateau and I would not have thought you would have got it for that price, especially as you got the Chateau, the fantastic Chatelet and then the other buildings. I don't know how much land you got with it ... have you bought a KZbin Drone yet (everybody buys a drone). This is a fantasic video to give people an Idea so they can see what a Chateau can cost !
