    Daphne and Ian have accepted a once in a lifetime opportunity, presented by her grandfather, to move from California to France in hopes to rebuild the many structures on this property and bring the land to its full potential.
    This beautiful domain includes a 17th century chateau, with a 500-year-old medieval dungeon, hunters lodge, 18th century farmhouse, 28 horse stables, and a large forest with two lakes.
    Most of the structures around the chateau domain need a full restoration, so we are investing everything we have into making the property thrive. We are learning more about french culture and developing new skills along the way. As a UC Berkeley graduate in Agriculture, and a US Air Force Veteran/ Kinesiologist, we share a love for challenges and adventure. We have so much ahead of us, and we are excited to share the experience with you!

    You’ve got a lot of chateau junkies here that simply can’t get enough of channels like this. This chateau is jaw dropping gorgeous and the fact that we get to follow you on this new journey is amazing. You both are young so it will be fun to follow you as long as we can to watch the progression of your endeavor. I know your grandfather would be so proud of you both. Plus, you both look like a fairytale princess and prince befitting of such a beautiful place. 🥰❤️

    • @ffructos
      @ffructos 11 месяцев назад

      Hey.. I've read over and over about inheritance taxes in Europe and the US making the actual inheritance impossible. How big are they in France ? Let'''s say this chateau its worth 500K.

    • @cptn3mo241
      @cptn3mo241 11 месяцев назад +2

      @ffructos at least 180k for the state (35% min) and that's not the worst part.
      You actually got to make sure you split in equal parts among your kids.
      So if you have spare savings and one kid it's doable, if you have 3 kids, your usually done and got to sell in order to do the split.
      Same goes for family companies such as wineries...

Can't imagine how overwhelming it must feel to uproot your entire life for such a massive undertaking. It's already so lovely and I can't wait to see more restorations. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done if you haven't already. I'm sure it must've been harder than you've let on. Such a positive energy and outlook is inspiring! Much love and support!

    For the past three years or so, I have been watching Chateau videos, but I had rather got to the ho hum stage. However I still watched Philip and Anna and the delightful Benoit, who is my fantasy date. And so it was that you were there when Benoit received his new equipment and Philip recommended your channel. I'm so pleased that he did, I've watched quite a few and it was a delight to stumble across your opening one. Like Philip and Anna, your approach is friendly and makes one feel invited into your lives.What a delight it is to see young people making a success of life, and your chateau is so lovely. I hope you've managed to pay off the inheritance tax by now.

    I can’t say how much I’ve enjoyed the .2 videos I e seen of the chateau. You two are amazing! I actually have a bit of a connection to the place, in the summer of 1962 (yes, well before you were born), I came to France to spend some time with two friends of my father, Jacques Lacroix and Cosette Harcourt of Stufio Harcourt. Jacques had bought the domain in 1958 (I think), and - surprise - beauty though it was, it needed tons of work. They were well into their sixties, and so they had others doing the work. Like you, they lived in the hunting lodge, which I just loved. I remember rowing a little boat in the moat, exploring in the dungeon with a friend and alone - we were sure we’d find some fabulous artifact down there, and walking, walking and walking…,oh, what a beautiful monster you inherited! Our eldest daughter and her husband are in Paris right now, and, although they probably won’t be able to arrange a visit, I’m going to ask her to try. I wish you both all the luck in the world and strongly believe that you can succeed.

Good luck to you both and can't wait.
