Children talk about wanting to live in a castle when they grow up, and now there’s a chance to make that youthful dream a reality. A stately chateau in France is up for sale, turrets and all. Asking €1,950,000, which is about $2.115 million, the fairytale property is priced like a dream, too.
This could be the right home to sell a buyer from NYC or L.A. on moving across the pond. Just imagine what $2 million could buy in those major US cities…and, some people are already thinking that way. Perhaps artist Meghan Boody will spot this exciting listing as she, in fact, just listed her $5.3 million Tribeca penthouse with plans to buy a French chateau.
Undergoing a full-scale renovation, the home dates back to the 16th century and still boasts beautiful medieval charm alone with fine, new amenities. From the outside, the chateau is anchored by three round towers, set against a backdrop of almost six acres of rolling greens. Certainly a serene and majestic sight. Elegant stonework fills the interior, with the public spaces flowing seamlessly across the main floor–who could say no to entertaining here and showing off the stunning spot? Six bedroom suites fill the upper two levels of the home and can accommodate a total of 20 people.
Sitting just north of the village of Ales, the home isn’t quite in wine country like Provence, but most definitely has a countryside feel. The outside grounds include a beautiful swimming pool just steps away from the main property, perfect for enjoying a South of France summer in time for the warm weather.
Knight Frank holds the listing.
