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
You were very kind to California!! I live in SCV. I would have to pay 670,000 for a 2b 2ba….
Are you saying yes to the Chateau? That would be a great new game to play. Will he or will he not?❤😂🎉
San Diego California is beautiful, but a grip' of $ to live in
Thats funny
Ryan,it would be interesting if you could show a few properties that go for the same price, a few you can get for a million, a few you can get for 750,000, 500,000, less than 100,000, etc.
You can’t get ANYTHING decent for less than $500,000!!!
Really beautiful chateau. Seems like quite a reasonable price if the real estate photos are what it truly looks like currently.
This is quite a bargain. Even in Oklahoma where I live, you'd have to add a few of your oil wells to buy that jewel. Keep showing us these gorgeous chateau. Love it.
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...
Also the chateau seems to be old and therefore protected. Meaning you will have to ask the ministry of culture approval each and every time you wish to modify any bit of it.
Son propiedades para algunos bolsillos de clase media alta .....no es para cualquiera.... pero es un precio bajo por la calidad de la propiedad
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.
Thanks for your balanced info on this.
Very good information. Thank you. Any idea how much taxes are per year?
That is an amazingly low price for that amount of land and buildings! Your part of France certainly seems like a great place to find beautiful properties at reasonable prices! Thank you for sharing.
I love it, Ryan!!! And I would buy it if I had a million! I would put in soundproof windows.🥰 Can you imagine all the beautiful gardens you can put in!
I own a bungalow in Canada - it's worth just over a million - it could probably fit in a couple of rooms in a chateau. Crazy what money will buy in France! If I was young again I would sell my home and move there.
Venez, beaucoup de chateau en France à vendre qui vont tomber en ruine si personne ne les reprends. Par contre les dépenses annuel vont être élever, 100 000 euros de chauffage, d'électricité et d'entretien me semble le minimum.. sans oublier les taxes foncière ( à moins que vous le fassiez visiter gratuitement là vous êtes exonérer)
Wow absolutely stunning. Love the fabric on the walls matching the drapes. Wow gorgeous.
Ryan the Chateau you too us to today was beautiful, it looks to me like the Chateau had been renovated on the inside. The out buildings look like they were in good shape but needed a little work. Hugs, Kathy 🇺🇸
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.
I’ve always been interested in seeing other beautiful buildings in all countries.
Lovely property. Looks like it’s been pretty well kept up. I love it-noise or no noise!
In Ontario Canada, my 3 bedroom 2100 square foot bungalow with full basement on 2.25 acres is currently worth 1.5 million dollars. Your Chateau is a relative bargain.
It has real stand away from the main building towers. There is a lot one can do with gardening and landscaping to reduce the road noise. I have $18.00 in my checking account, but I am ready to move in. 🧡
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.
It is stunning. Thanks for the tours all the time, love to get a perspective.
Very beautiful! Sitting here dreaming of what life would be like living there. Thank you for sharing Ryan. Love your channel ❤
I just wanted you to know I started following you after I saw you on Bordeaux life. I than went back to the very first of your blogs and watched all the episodes. I want you to know I love you and Billie when you go antique shopping. I will never get to France so sharing your story is letting me travel there. Thanks for your posts.
Amazing - especially if the rooms inside are what the pictures depict. One million would not even get you half a house in Vancouver, Canada.
Ryan. How about also listing the tax on the property, the monthly fuel bill, the gardening costs, etc. That would be really interesting.
How would anyone know the monthly fuel bill of someone else's residence?
Furnishings too? ❤☘️
It costs a fortune! 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.

There is a reason why they are so long on the market...
@@dennispatrick4999 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....
How would Ryan know all those costs?
🤩Beautiful!! I think a million dollars is a good price!! 💖💖
What a bargain, living in California, where you can’t even by a shack for that price ! But does it come with the furnishings ?
My son’s just left Sydney bc all he could buy for similar ballpark dollars was rubbish. Soooo your Chateau in French countryside was very appealing. Magnificent interior. Thankyou for taking us there.
Ryan,its beautiful inside,I loved the kitchen I cannot image the worth of the person who would purchase it. I enjoy the tour. Thank you!
Thank you so much for taking us with you. And yes, the price is good indeed.
I enjoy your videos very much. I love when you show the French villages, especially enjoy and appreciate seeing the beautiful churches. One day you will find the perfect place, just for you!
I am really enjoying you showing us the properties for sale and also the towns you visit. I’d love to see more!
Ryan, What a beautiful chateau! It reminds me of the dupont family chateaus in Wilmington, Delaware USA As they brought the French designs with them when they immigrated to the United States.
I would buy that in a heartbeat 💓 There isn't much to be done other than change it up to your personal style and period taste. Well done on the find Ryan 😉
Excellent job, Ryan. Thank you!
I looks at this chateau on line yesterday.
Excellent videos! Love seeing the maps and learning about the chateaus.
Lovely Chateau I would be checking out the roof, plumbing, electrics before purchasing it. It’s a beautiful sight and you have to wonder why no one’s living in it. Thank you Ryan for showing it to us 👍
What a gorgeous estate! Is it worth $1 million, you bet. Thank you for sharing this gem with us.
Gorgeous. In New York you can get 750square feet for a million Dollars. So this very well priced. Thanks Ryan
I would think it would be A LOT more than 1 million. Very beautiful place. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
That was beautiful and gorgeous inside! Thanks Ryan!
Great price considering all the land, outbuildings and it is in good shape too. Thanks Ryan🙏❤️
BEAUTIFUL PLACE. Too bad there is no lake but that place is beautiful. Beautiful out buildings. LOVE THAT ROUND BUILDING. Was probably a dove cote I would bet. Great video Ryan I love these videos. Keep it up!
It's such a beautiful place 😍 great episode Ryan 👍
I love the property, and i love even more that you got nice pictures from the interior.
For one million dollars here in Seven Hills, Ohio you might be able to purchase five acres of land none of it level, some swamp with its own creek. No buildings.
I’m actually looking for a home in France. 🇫🇷 However, this one is out of my price range. It’s beautiful though. Thanks for sharing with all of us. I would be interested in seeing more properties.
What a beautiful château! Oh, Ryan, I wish you could afford it! It’s beautiful inside too. Planting some plants to dead and the sound would be the first thing to do. That would be fine. Really doesn’t look like there’s a lot to do on the inside at least.
Very grand Ryan. It’s a lot of property for the price compared to what you could get in the U.K. ❤
I think all chateaux’s should be brought back to life, they are your history. ❤️😔 That is a beautiful stunning chateau.
@@YaaLFH i don't have that type of financial status, if I had it I would
Beautiful chateau! Great price for what you get. Absolutely would jump at the chance to snap it up❤️
Oh my gosh what a beautiful place. The price of it is amazing. Here in the states a million would get you a cookie cutter house. This house has so much style, you would have to be brain dead not to love it. Good work Ryan, keep them coming!!
And because it's old and beautiful it's certainly protected. Therefore you have the ask for administration to authorize each and every time you nail a nail.
Ryan, I just had to watch this video one more time today. You would believe what a million dollars buys here in South Florida! That property is a steal!
It's beautiful and it looks very livable. The rooms aren't so over the top that you can't relax. I think it's great.
Ryan, I am quite surprised you don’t have more subscribers on your channel. Come on people. Like and subscribe so we can all have Ryan’s cheerfulness Grace us more. Looks like a stunning property, for me the road noise would be a welcome change from being so close to my neighbours that I can hear them sneeze. (And they can hear me yell ‘bless you’ ). One day I will join you all in France.
Love ❤️ it Thanks for showing us
Beautiful Chateau, well worth the price. Noise from road not good. I like your clean-shaven look as well--very nice.
Beautiful Chateau Ryan, sad that not many folks could afford to give it love and bring it back to health !
Thanks Phil for the drone shots. Wish I had a couple of million I'd buy it. Xx
The Château is beautiful… I’d love to live in a Chateau….. Enjoy your evening!!!
The interiors are stunning, so beautiful but looks so ready to enjoy! I so wish I had million dollars. If I win the US lottery I am headed to France. Gorgeous. I hope someone snatches this palace right away.
Add a second million for renovations and landscaping. Also, there are likely high taxes on the property (being France). But it would be worth it if you could monetize it as a bed & breakfast inn and wedding venue (unsure if that would be permitted).
Stunning interior, this place is gorgeous!
Gorgeous property. Thanks for the view. Too bad about the road noise.
Wow, a bit pricey considering the road noise? You, Billy and Phil are truly a wonderful trio of buddies!
Amazing place I can see you there being lord of the manner the road probably will put people off at that price still very beautiful ❤
First, let me catch my breath. Wow. That's a crazy cheap price. I can't believe it would be so cheap. Offer Billy your right kidney & get him to help you buy it. 🤣🤣🤣 Ryan seriously with your passion & personality you should get your real estate license !!!
This is better than the chateau you and billy viewed yesterday. This would be an amazing purchase if the photos are truly what it looks like on the inside.
Beautiful…really enjoyed!!
I love it. Thanks for showing this to us. I want it!
Love videos like this Ryan!!
It looks well maintained and it is beautiful inside. No renovation needed! 1 million dollars here in DC will get you a small three bedroom house on 1/10th of an acre.
Absolutely fabulous! If money were no object, I would turn the sheep pasture into woodland to help mask the sound of the road. Maybe the sound from the road makes the property unsuitable for a BnB or wedding venue, but the outbuildings could be used for some other business function, like offices, light manufacturing or an artist/designer/architect's atelier.
Yes, this mansion is beautiful. Ican see it all re-done and spruced up in my mind but my heart knows I couldnt even afford to pay the electric bill...I'd have to close off all the rooms except for two. LOL
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.
@@srfrg9707 Wow, that's alot of information. Thank you.
i would love to have seen more of the inside. looks to be in great condition for not being occupied in some time. nice find.
I knew that property looked familiar. I was so happy when you said you'd been there before with Billy. Like you, I don't have a million dollars to spend on a chateau, but it's still fun to look.
Beautiful, wish I could buy it. Looks like the perfect shape in the back to put a pool in, too. BTW, I like your sweater and scarf.
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.
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 suburb of Boston, MA USA and for $1.7million dollars you may buy a small, 5 bdrm. House with a tiny back deck, no real land in South Boston Massachusetts. The Chateau is a fairy tale, please keep brightening this old woman’s days with your. Ideas.
That is gorgeous !!! The price is reasonable for the apparent projected shape . If I could borrow your checkbook, I would put in a bid 😃
Ce sont les prix normaux dans les terres loin des villes...on appelle ça la "bande de désertification", ou tout simplement des "bleds paumés", en France. But what you forgot to tell is why it's so cheap compared to modern mansions...at first a terrible energetic performance with thousands of euros for gaz-electricity-water each month, high costs of maintenance and repairs, and you're often far from cities with jobs. 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!
That chateau is beautiful!! It’s a good deal!
Beautiful chateau and estate. I think the price is good. Enjoyed.
Nice one 🤗👍 Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
Beautiful place 💕😊
Stunning house for sure!
Just shared it to some people that are heading over in May to buy a Chateau . They want a Business so being close to a busy road mite just be a good idea . For Me im more into the Manor type house as a 1 person unit . But this one is stunning .
thank you very much Keith, we received your link. We actually already found it and wanted to have a look as well. It’s beautiful!! But let’s see what the chances are now. ☺️🤗
@@Chateau_de_Londigny Its gorgeous look at the wallpaper and curtains omg , and the price is good for over 20 aches too . Being close to a busy road mite not be that bad as easy driving to get to u for , yr next business . Good luck fingers crossed there are a lot on that Website i see .
@@KeithWiggins-xc1sf Yes that’s what Brett said as well! It’s really gorgeous but the noice might be to much. But thank you so much! It’s definitely a wonderful chateau and we really appreciate that you are thinking of us! ☺️
@@Chateau_de_Londigny The more eyes the merrier
It's beautiful. Plenty of land to farm. Those buildings by the entrance could be converted into more living accommodation which could be let, holiday lets or sell on.
If I had lots of Money I would like to buy a Chateu... Ryan you're really a natural talent bringing your video's. You can start a TV programm. 👍😘
Really stunning Ryan such a fairy tale picturesque chateau.
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!
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
The Chateau is beautiful. I just need to win the lotto and I'm in! 🤑
Absolutely gorgeous!
Beautiful chateau. Top marks for your outfit choice.
Beautiful. Wish I could send you the $$$ to buy it. I love seeing what’s available in France. I live in laguna beach California and you could maybe get a 1 bed 1 bath that’s almost falling down. Amazing that you could get a home like that in gorgeous France. It’s a really good price I think.
love the property videos ryan. thanks
Wow! What a beautiful place.
I get the appeal of buying a ruin and fixing it up but if yesterday's chateau, in the state it's in will cost millions (as Billy said) to fix why would anyone do that when they can have this place that looks super nice (as per the photos) for only 1 million? That makes no sense to me, it wouldn't be worth the money or hassle to fix up the ruin and you could move straight into this place.
You can't make any money in resell if you buy it in prime condition. And who can afford to live in such a big place? The ongoing upkeep would take millions each year.
Very beautiful and I love it.
A Belgian friend of mine once told me that the surest way to lose a fortune is to buy a French chateau. They can be magnificent, but maintenance costs a fortune and essential expenses are enormous. Which is why there are so many on the market. It’s very sad, and if you have a dream and are truly rich, go ahead. I’m not being sarcastic by the way.
$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.
