What a wonderful project for some fortunate ones. There is just so much unlimited potential, I feel like this is how families and communities were meant to aspire to like nature.
This is the most untouched and in natural state castle that I've ever seen. It does look like in great condition; however, the green stone in places does represent moisture, but can be remedied. Best wishes to the buyer.
It's normal for moss to form on the façade after decades without heating or special maintenance, but the good news is that the foundation is clearly dry, sound, and the structural elements are solid. 🏰 The roof has been redone with new beams, and the pathways for cables and plumbing are already in place, which will greatly simplify any renovation project. 🛠️ Removing the moss is simple: using a pressure washer, you can peel them off by hand and treat the surface with a product that will darken the moss, causing it to fall off naturally with the winter rains. 🌧️ This method works very well. The stones in this region are granite, extremely hard and durable, making maintenance easy and minimal. And yes, I agree with you-this is one of the most beautiful châteaux I've ever filmed for renovation, a true marvel of architecture. 🏛️ What I also love is that the rooms are very large and spacious, with magnificent volumes, high ceilings, and incredible details on the floors, walls, and ceilings that remind you that you're in a splendid, historically significant place. The numerous fireplaces, including one from the 13th century, are all functional and in excellent condition. 🔥 The two staircases, including a stone spiral staircase, make circulation practical. In short, it's a pure gem, just the kind of treasure LEGGETT is known for uncovering and sharing with you here. 💎 - Cyril, Videographer
Incredibly beautiful property- just need to get to the finish line with this one. If the furniture conveys this could be completed in about a year - 18 months with funds. The biggest costs would be completing the cabling for the electrics, making sure of the HVAC systems and water, and the roof. Everything is cleaning, paint, and wallpaper. You need a plan and real energy for this one! Thank you for sharing this gem!
Thank you for this positive and realistic comment. The roof is actually in very good condition. If you watch the video closely, you'll see that the trusses of the frame are impeccable, and it's even doubled with rock wool and plasterboard in the attic. There is indeed significant work to be done, but the structure is beautiful and sound. Anyone with a real vision can easily breathe new life into this unique gem that is just waiting for a history, art, and architecture enthusiast, and a lover of France, to revive it and give it a new life. 💎
Several viewings booked, an offer made in less than a week, this property will sell quickly I assume. Now just to give you an idea of what such place can look like once renovated, here's an example of similar size and in the same area, fully restored www.frenchestateagents.com/french-property-for-sale/view/A21407JHC19/chateau-for-sale-in-arnac-pompadour-corr%C3%A8ze-limousin-france
Exactly what I thought when filming it. Between us, when we had lunch 🥗 / picnic in the park, I was speaking with the agent, and said that if I hadn’t just finished renovating my 17th century presbytery, I’d seriously consider this gem. Not only it has charm and history but it’s in superb condition in fact, the basis is superb and easy to work with. I’ve renovated 4 houses in the dordogne, I did not see any big challenge here. Yes it’s massive, but everything is logical and has easy access. Cyril - photographer
@@FrenchPropertyByLeggett hi Cyril. These are way out of my budget but it's fun to look. Still interested in the possibility of finding my little piece of France to call home, most likely in mid areas of Nouvelle Aquitaine. Still doing my daily French lesson and reading about life there. Really enjoyed our visit. 💕
Hi Joi, take your time, and check on our website what suits your budget because we have properties for every budget there, www.frenchestateagents.com/ This will give you a better picture of price/m2 depending on the area you're looking at. Sometimes we have incredible deals or charming & unique properties, these don't last long and that's where anyone interested should position themselves to secure the sale. Take care. Cyril - videographer ( for those who read this comment, Joi Tanner is one of our best fan on Facebook, and she did visit us at our head office, touring France, coming from the US, this summer ).
@@FrenchPropertyByLeggett I do periodically check the website, but we are not ready yet to buy. Will have to sell the US home first and would probably choose to rent in France before buying, to be sure of best decision for us.
There are barely no Marks & Spencer store in France, 9 total, mostly in Paris. But you’ll find shops, restaurants and other names of supermarkets nearby, as well as all amenities.
Hi there, we'd invite you to contact the local agent in charge of this château, they would certainly be able to answer your question. Here is a link to the property page, for more info and where you can get in touch with the agent: shorturl.at/cDPJF
So sorry for the unlucky painting of precious historical parts of this building. Didn't the responsible person for this have any respect for age,, style or heritage? Too much creativity on such a precious building, reminds me on creating a playground instead of working on urgend problems. I had no words when seeing the destroyed floors
I completely disagree; almost all the important elements, such as the impressive fireplaces from various eras, the woodwork, and the staircases, are fully preserved. The paintings date from the 19th century. The windows are original. The roof is in good condition. The tower of the keep is magnificent. I see no problem here but rather a basis for a magnificent project. Additionally, there are truly unique elements like the vaulted porch leading to the 13th-century kitchen. It is rare to find such a château. The floors on the upper levels are all in perfect condition, with unique patterns in the bedrooms, and the herringbone parquet floors are also like new. Only two rooms on the ground floor had floors that were not salvageable. Good news: they have been removed, the excavated floor is dry and ready for conduits, pipes, and underfloor heating. I have renovated many old buildings, and I can tell you that this is the ideal scenario! Cyril - Photographer.
I agree. And whoever chose some of those colors is blind. Purple trim? Why? Bright blue and red ceilings with baby poop brown? (Or is that baby poop green?) Pick one color palette and stick to it. Absolutely beautiful property with a lot of potential... But, in addition to restoration work, whoever buys it has to fix the color mistakes that somebody else made.
A beautiful place. I appreciate that the video is not too long. It would be nice to have spent a bit more time in the bathrooms and kitchens. With two hectars of land. Truly a find. I wish I was still in Italy so it would be easy to come look at it. I am wondering the asking price?
Hi, the asking price is 682500€ and all the details are here: www.frenchestateagents.com/french-property-for-sale/view/A19290SHJ19/-for-sale-in-Égletons-corrèze-limousin-france Thanks. 🙏
Our cameraman is suffering from a serious case of "I'm late for the next shoot" syndrome and "Wow, it's even more beautiful on the right-oh wait, on the left too!" 😂🎥
@@veronicaroach3667 It is not low- the French gov will kill you with regulations to renovate- plus costs, THEN they will devastate you with property taxes. To renovate this, 1-3 million dollars. So, it is not a steal at all, in any way. THEN, you have maintenance monthly costs. See the roof, in excess of 100 k just to do that ALONE.
I think, unfortunately, that you are speaking without really knowing what it's about. Taxes are low in this village, and the roof is in very good condition with new beams, as you can see in the report. The attic is also lined with rock wool and plasterboard. As for taxes, I myself have a 450m² house from the 17th century in Dordogne, with gîtes and guest rooms, and I can assure you that it's not high at all, especially compared to the USA. I have renovated four properties, and it has always been profitable when reselling. Here, we are starting with a sound and clean base, and there's no reason why it shouldn't be a gem in the end. Many of my friends have already renovated this kind of building. It's a matter of passion and faith. If you let yourself be carried away by negativity and the fear of others, then you should never embark on such a project. However, if you dream of a unique place with strong character, architecture, and history, then this place is for you. If I hadn't just finished my last renovation recently, I admit I would be very tempted. Cyril - photographer
@@FrenchPropertyByLeggettwell said Cyril. A small hint for your excellent English. Plumbery, as you called it, is plumbing - say plumming though - with pipes put in by plumbers. Definitely not a criticism. I don't know even half of the relevant building words in French.
You're most welcome. We do not help with abandoned châteaux per se, but our agents are all experts when it comes to knowing the local artisans, so indeed they could help you to get in touch with the necessary experts when it comes to renovation, etc.
@@FrenchPropertyByLeggett Oh I know I know, I look at the site almost daily - there are some truly wonderful properties available at quite frankly amazing prices (compared to where we live in the UK).
It’s beautiful- unfortunately it looks like it was partially renovated by an amateur. Painting original wood in a historic structure should be a crime. I’m very concerned about what appears to be algae or moss growing on the interior stone walls. This could indicate a serious problem with the roof and potential rot in the structural wood. On a final note- the camera work leaves much to be desired. Too much spinning and quick jerking movement. It was difficult to focus on any one particular feature.
Perfect base for such renovation, yes the most important elements such as the fireplaces, flooring, beams, stones, windows etc are in perfect condition. Now sure that the standards of the 13th century, need a little updating.
It is basically in the middle of part of the town. I suppose the price makes up for that a little. What outbuildings does it still have? I could not see any on Google Earth. 🤔
A friend of ours bought a similarly-sized mansion that dates back to the early 1800's. It too was in very good original condition, but in need of extensive updates. That, as he would find, would be the least of his challenges. The real bear is heating it each winter. Even by closing off entire wings of rooms, the seasonal bill is so high he is not able to repay it until late Summer, or early Fall, when the electrical and gas meters begin their mad rush forward once more. Unless one has very deep pockets to retrofit substantial energy conservation measures such as spray foam insulation, efficient glazing, and geothermal heating and cooling, the new owner may find the original purchase price pales in comparison to the ongoing operational costs. Unless, of course, it becomes a commercial enterprise, where tax savings will offset those expenses.
Hi, There are many ways to heat a château, and no, you don’t heat unused rooms in the winter-you simply keep them from freezing. There are automated central heating systems, like highly efficient pellet stoves. A friend of mine has a château with 26 rooms, and he created a 12-ton silo with a screw conveyor-it works great for minimal cost and no maintenance. When I see the ground floor room with its untouched floor, it’s the perfect opportunity to install an efficient and insulated underfloor heating system, connected to such central heating, and why not combine it with a heat pump, whose thermal efficiency keeps improving. I invite you to watch this documentary: ruclips.net/video/s0D7Gig4WOA/видео.html filmed at the home of one of our agents who lives in a massive château that she and her husband renovated themselves. I spent last Christmas there, and I can tell you that we were warm and the cozy atmosphere was just perfect, including in the beautiful bedrooms. Since the video, they’ve created a fantastic swimming pool with its own pool house and much more. Honestly, when you buy a property, whether it’s 600m2, 1000m2, or 2000m2, you know that the larger it is, the more it will cost to heat-you can’t compare a 60m2 apartment in London with a property ten times larger. That said, prejudices are strong when it comes to manors or châteaux, whereas in fact, they are often the most pleasant places to live. Lastly, the thick walls have incredible thermal inertia-they prevent extreme heat from entering in the summer, eliminating the need for air conditioning, and in winter, the stone retains the warmth. With a perfectly insulated attic, some logical renovations, and perhaps double glazing, you can easily achieve incredible performance. Just like here in this château: ruclips.net/video/U5AI29xHkNg/видео.html which achieves the same energy performance ratings as a new low-emission house-a real accomplishment.
Superbe château. Par contre, prenez votre temps pour filmer et vous déplacer. Nous perdons la notion d’où nous sommes dans le château et les mouvements brusques de la caméra ou des coupes donnent mal au cœur. Un gimbal serait bien utile pour stabiliser lorsque vous filmez. Sinon incroyable emplacement et bâtiment.
On a trois gimbal, mais c’est le rush quand on couvre des endroits comme ça, on va très vite, ce jour là plusieurs reportages… mais merci de votre retour.
Well, that’s called a renovation project, it requires dedication / vision and commitment. But so many of us and our clients went through that process… generally, when it’s finished, many people are jealous and ask how they could be so lucky etc. The area is nice, the nearby mountains are simply stunning.
That's exactly it. In spring and summer, there are so many hiking trails, mountain biking and cycling paths, fishermen and swimmers heading to the nearby lake, motorcyclists, and classic car enthusiasts who all love Auvergne and its surroundings for their fantastic landscapes and some of the most beautiful roads in the world. This place would make an ideal base for all these potential customers looking for a location with real charm. Personally, I often spend a weekend in this area during winter, whether it's around La Bourboule, Le Mont-Dore, or even in Cantal, Salers, or in Charroux, a village in the neighboring department of Allier, etc., without even going there to ski-just to walk around, enjoy the mountain scenery and nature, go snowshoeing, and have a good fondue or tartiflette in a restaurant with such a cozy winter atmosphere. ruclips.net/video/2IWue3DEexI/видео.html Or to spend a long weekend riding a motorcycle, or with my familly, in spring or summer. ruclips.net/video/TqJE3fz9O_s/видео.html So yes, it’s easy to see how you could attract guests all year round. Cyril - Photographer.
It’s a shame so much of it was painted in those hideous colors. Obviously someone started renovating this. I’d like to know why the stopped. Too much house for me but a great project for someone young with the time and the money.
@@jenalunsford7597 They may not be old, but they are possibly historically accurate. Colour palettes where much more saturated back then, than they are now.
13mn long, more than enough to show everything. My choice to go for a VLOG hand held style of filming is mostly due to the fact that I had to film 2 chateaux in a single day… no time for tripods etc.
Par contre les Anglais et Américains ne parlent pas français quand ils viennent en France alors vous ne risquez pas de comprendre leur français, c’est tout bénef pour eux, ils sont hors critique et moquerie
No cement factory in sight, but this place has been unoccupied for decades, so, as in any such castle, a fine layer of dust will settle on the floor and objects. The good news is that we can see the floors, woodwork, and walls are in good condition because they are dry. A great base to start from.
It's an amazing structure with a lot of history to be filled in: between the 1200's and 19th century, for example...are we missing a demolition or two before the 19th century faux Gothic? It looks like someone has redone all the beams and I hope they knew what they were doing to treat for woodworms, dry rot and I'm sure some maladies I haven't come across for old beams... and then seal it properly. There seems to be a silent social history covering many of the aristocratic homes/mansions/chateaus in England, France, and now on RUclips, I see Poland. So many stand empty. This was the fate of the aristocracy, in good part, being displaced by the bourgeoisie, respectfully I use the term, in the 19th and early 20th century...and future heirs moving to the "Metro Regions" like many small farmer's children. Lots of potential jobs in rehabbing, then sale to...fill that in for me, I can put $5.00 down.
There are only so many uses for a huge house like this. Most people would not feel comfortable living in such a place without enough other people around so they didn't get spooked by the huge spaces. Of course the original owners would have been surrounded by their servants, so that was not a problem.
almost all the important elements, such as the impressive fireplaces from various eras, the woodwork, and the staircases, are fully preserved. The paintings date from the 19th century. The windows are original. The roof is in good condition. The tower of the keep is magnificent. I see no problem here but rather a basis for a magnificent project. Additionally, there are truly unique elements like the vaulted porch leading to the 13th-century kitchen. It is rare to find such a château. The floors on the upper levels are all in perfect condition, with unique patterns in the bedrooms, and the herringbone parquet floors are also like new. Only two rooms on the ground floor had floors that were not salvageable. Good news: they have been removed, the excavated floor is dry and ready for conduits, pipes, and underfloor heating. I have renovated many old buildings, and I can tell you that this is the ideal scenario! The beams are all original, which is impressive, and everything is in good condition. Only the floors on the ground floor had to be removed, but this will allow for the installation of underfloor heating and all sorts of cables. The tiled floors, herringbone patterns, woodwork, and window frames are all in good and original condition, which is rare and incredible. The only partial renovations include the installation of electrical conduits, toilet drains, and bathrooms that likely date from the 80s or 90s. But the hardest part is done: bringing conduits, water, and drainage into the keep! The two staircases make circulation very easy, and the volumes are just incredible. The stonework, woodwork, and roof are sound, and many superb elements are preserved. Yes, there are some plasterboard partitions that I would remove, but that’s a minor detail. It is weatherproof, connected to the networks, and the dovecote is even already a habitable apartment, heated, with a bathroom. Anyone who has ever renovated an old building knows that this is an excellent base! And I say this having renovated four buildings, the last one being a 450m² 17th-century presbytery where I fell through the floor on my first visit. Today, it’s a gem. Cyril - Photographer
@@FrenchPropertyByLeggett I wish all the remaining noble properties of Europe, part of our mutual Western heritage, find good owners and all the restorations they need to save the best of their historical/architectural gems, and be liveable again. A better fate than the nobilities homes from the 14th-19th centuries in Russia. A few remain; many if not most did not survive the Revolution and Civil War, or the fighting in WWII>
This village has quite a low tax level, for instance, here we're speaking about a more than 600M2 chateau, and the annual taxe foncière is 1600€ which is really reasonnable for a large Chateau. Anyway, people should positionned themselves quickly on that one as several viewings are already booked and an offer already made, waiting for the vendor's answer.
Hi, we don't delete comments, especially the nice ones ;) It might be on hold at the moment. I will check tomorrow when I am in the office :) - Johnny, from the video team.
The terrible red paint everywhere just ruins the whole place. It looks as though the last owners were remodeling it. The windows look like they were replaced and in odd looking colors.
No, original windows, original beams, original floors, original fireplaces, original staircases, original panellings, everywhere. No one replaced any of those elements. Nothing else, than the kitchen upstairs or the bathrooms, has been added / remodelled.
Not been taken care of seen decades… that’s absolutely normal on the north side. These are granite stones… karcher is your friend. Spray anti algae ( fongicide / algicide ) and it will be gone for years, I’ve done that in my own house, impressive change. Cyril
I would buy this, let the cool people party there; hail The French Aristocracy AND Thee Sovereign Office of Heraldry the matter, and with their approval upon signing let the cool people in on invite, knowing I would obtain something beyond coin and mere quip. Salut!
No, the current owner has ample means; he is just occupied with another project. 2 hectares is more than enough to have fun with a lawnmower. The château is at the heart of a lovely village but far enough away to avoid any disturbances. There is a tree-lined driveway leading to the entrance, and the view is uninterrupted from the front. You need to visit the place to understand the layout. For me, it's the best scenario: land in the city and close to the legendary Auvergne stations (20 minutes from Mont Dore / the source of the Dore and Dogne rivers that form the Dordogne, not far from the majestic Puy de Sancy). I love this area; I often go there by motorcycle in summer or to ski in winter. Cyril - Photographer.
I know many people with a dream who started with ruins and turned them into true little gems. I know this because I’m one of them-I renovated a 17th-century presbytery that I bought 10 years ago. On my first visit, I fell through the floor, and water would run down one of the chimneys into the kitchen when it rained... but I saw the potential: the view, the land, the village, and I had a dream that I made a reality. Today, with 450m², my son’s room and mine are each 50m², there are 300m² of stone terraces, and the dovecote has been transformed into a beautiful summer kitchen by the atypically black-colored pool. The decor is a mix of flea market finds and modern designer furniture. I can assure you that my friends, my guests, everyone loves it, and the phrase I hear most often is, "I wish I had a house like yours..." If I had listened to those who tried to dissuade me back then from buying "something so big," I wouldn’t be living this dream today. At some point, you have to put your fears aside and take the plunge, no matter the project: starting a business, pursuing an artistic career, going back to school, or renovating a house in France 🇫🇷. Many of our clients have taken that step. In fact, we've become friends with many of them. This fall, I’m going to film the renovation of a manor that a young couple just bought from us. I think it’s going to be interesting. Cyril - Photographer
I don't understand at all how the interior was "destroyed," since 100% of the original elements-beams, fireplaces, windows, sculptures, and carved stones, staircases, parquet floors, and other essential features-have been perfectly preserved. Even the 13th-century fireplace and the dovecote are in perfect condition. The zinc roof decorations are intact as well. The spiral stone staircase is still there, and the façade is also preserved. The only thing that was removed was the floor in the large ground-floor room because it was too damaged, but that actually allows you to see that the ground underneath is dry and healthy. Personally, I immediately saw this as an opportunity to install a state-of-the-art underfloor heating system with a high-performance heat pump. On the contrary, I would say it's rare to find such a well-preserved and complete base, so close to its original state, in 2024. There’s no degradation; the doors are there, the moldings, the beautiful ornamental tile floors, and much more. If you’re referring to the dated bathrooms, well, that actually means that the plumbing is already installed-water supply, toilet drains-there’s even a second kitchen upstairs, which is perfect since it’s close to the large reception room. And the cables and conduits, strategically placed, ensure easy equipping of all rooms with a modern and compliant electrical system. Frankly, having already renovated four houses from the 15th to the 18th century, including the last one from the 17th century and 450m2, I can certify that this is probably the best base I’ve seen in a long time. Just for the Dungeon alone, in perfect condition, I think any lover of medieval architecture would instantly fall in love. The view from the windows that go all around the top is simply stunning. Plus, it’s perfectly insulated from the wind; once again, there’s already a bathroom up there, and the electricity is installed, which is one of the biggest challenges in this type of building. I challenge you to find something similar at this price, anywhere in France. Cyril - Photographer and Videographer LEGGETT
Have you ever renovated a château or a manor? Because I have, and it depends on so many factors-your level of expectations, whether you do part of the work yourself or not, etc. I am absolutely certain that a skilled DIY enthusiast with a limited budget could achieve wonders with this building. The bathrooms are already in place, and new water and electricity installations are in all the rooms. There is indeed a slab/floor and flooring to be installed on the ground floor, which could actually be an opportunity to install low-temperature underfloor heating in addition to pellet stoves-a highly efficient combination. So, throwing out random figures is pointless. Many people prefer to undertake a renovation with their own vision rather than being tied to someone else's vision. This property is unique, offered at a very attractive price, with a solid and beautiful foundation. It retains most of its original elements; it's a true gem that certainly won’t discourage a lover of stone and France. Moreover, given the number of inquiries we've received and the scheduled visits, I doubt it will stay on the market for long-if it hasn’t already been sold (I haven't checked with the agents in charge). Cyril - Photographer.
@@FrenchPropertyByLeggett It is just a shame, because I would have enjoyed a proper tour of the place. Maybe you have someone more professional, you could send, to rerecord the tour?
The colors are gross and inappropriate for a storied property_ was this an elementary school at some point? Shame someone had such poor taste. Remodel will need extensive removal of paint and repainting in appropriate colors.
Hi :) Well, i would have to write some comments about this visit of the CHATEAU.... First, the Guide is speaking some approximate english language with a Heavy FRENCH accent.. Frankly, not very professional approach to the possible BUYERS... SECONDLY : The COLORS and some "DECORATIONS" in the chateau, are FAR from being adapted to the chateau...PINK / MAUVE windows, colored chimneys / fireplaces are far to be the BEST COLORS for this very OLD / HISTORIC Castle.... No comments from the GUIDE...Not sure he is AWARE of any problem..His personal TASTE is in question about this point....
The guide has a strong French accent because he is French, and in France, strangely enough, people speak French. Go figure! The colors are what they are, and again, your guide is not responsible for the paint choices... but if you paid attention to the video, this is a renovation project, and we're still far from the decorating stage. But given the number of visits and offers already received, it seems that the tastes you're questioning are actually those of the clients who buy this type of property.

What a wonderful project for some fortunate ones. There is just so much unlimited potential, I feel like this is how families and communities were meant to aspire to like nature.
Indeed :)
This is the most untouched and in natural state castle that I've ever seen. It does look like in great condition; however, the green stone in places does represent moisture, but can be remedied. Best wishes to the buyer.
It's normal for moss to form on the façade after decades without heating or special maintenance, but the good news is that the foundation is clearly dry, sound, and the structural elements are solid. 🏰 The roof has been redone with new beams, and the pathways for cables and plumbing are already in place, which will greatly simplify any renovation project. 🛠️ Removing the moss is simple: using a pressure washer, you can peel them off by hand and treat the surface with a product that will darken the moss, causing it to fall off naturally with the winter rains. 🌧️ This method works very well. The stones in this region are granite, extremely hard and durable, making maintenance easy and minimal.
And yes, I agree with you-this is one of the most beautiful châteaux I've ever filmed for renovation, a true marvel of architecture. 🏛️ What I also love is that the rooms are very large and spacious, with magnificent volumes, high ceilings, and incredible details on the floors, walls, and ceilings that remind you that you're in a splendid, historically significant place.

Wow! The original architect and builders did an amazing job! I’m sure they couldn’t imagine their work has endured for so long.
Indeed, it is quite the marvel, isn't it? :)
Incredibly beautiful property- just need to get to the finish line with this one. If the furniture conveys this could be completed in about a year - 18 months with funds. The biggest costs would be completing the cabling for the electrics, making sure of the HVAC systems and water, and the roof. Everything is cleaning, paint, and wallpaper. You need a plan and real energy for this one! Thank you for sharing this gem!
Thank you for this positive and realistic comment. The roof is actually in very good condition. If you watch the video closely, you'll see that the trusses of the frame are impeccable, and it's even doubled with rock wool and plasterboard in the attic. There is indeed significant work to be done, but the structure is beautiful and sound. Anyone with a real vision can easily breathe new life into this unique gem that is just waiting for a history, art, and architecture enthusiast, and a lover of France, to revive it and give it a new life. 💎
Very good condition. Hope someone buys it and loves it
Us too ;)

Fantastic!!! …what a dream 💭 to remodel ❣️
Isn't it? :)
I for one really love it.
Thanks!
That chateau has my name all over it. Just need a bit more savings.
Exactly what I thought when filming it. Between us, when we had lunch 🥗 / picnic in the park, I was speaking with the agent, and said that if I hadn’t just finished renovating my 17th century presbytery, I’d seriously consider this gem. Not only it has charm and history but it’s in superb condition in fact, the basis is superb and easy to work with. I’ve renovated 4 houses in the dordogne, I did not see any big challenge here. Yes it’s massive, but everything is logical and has easy access. Cyril - photographer
I wish I were up to the challenge. Lovely chateau.
Glad you enjoyed the tour :)
Wow what a building. I absolutely love it 😍
😊 Thanks! We work hard to find gems 💎 like this one.
the green algae growing on the walls are incredibool and the stones where the floors used to be are beautifool.
....and how about that Plumb-Bing.

@@FrenchPropertyByLeggett hi Cyril. These are way out of my budget but it's fun to look.

Hi there, we indeed had an issue with our website today, it is back up and running.
Beautiful chateau its amazing ❤❤❤
We simply love it too!
Fantastic. What a dream.
We agree!
Amazing.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Beautiful château, but I got dizzy watching because the cameraman doesn’t know how to film. 🎥
I’ll tell our cameraman..
I searched the Leggett website, but could not find this property.
Hello, this property has been sold.
Stunning property
Thanks.
Is it near a Marks & Spencer store?
There are barely no Marks & Spencer store in France, 9 total, mostly in Paris. But you’ll find shops, restaurants and other names of supermarkets nearby, as well as all amenities.
Do you think that an elevator could be accommodated in the chateau ?
Hi there, we'd invite you to contact the local agent in charge of this château, they would certainly be able to answer your question. Here is a link to the property page, for more info and where you can get in touch with the agent: shorturl.at/cDPJF
So sorry for the unlucky painting of precious historical parts of this building. Didn't the responsible person for this have any respect for age,, style or heritage? Too much creativity on such a precious building, reminds me on creating a playground instead of working on urgend problems. I had no words when seeing the destroyed floors
I completely disagree; almost all the important elements, such as the impressive fireplaces from various eras, the woodwork, and the staircases, are fully preserved. The paintings date from the 19th century. The windows are original. The roof is in good condition. The tower of the keep is magnificent. I see no problem here but rather a basis for a magnificent project. Additionally, there are truly unique elements like the vaulted porch leading to the 13th-century kitchen. It is rare to find such a château.
The floors on the upper levels are all in perfect condition, with unique patterns in the bedrooms, and the herringbone parquet floors are also like new. Only two rooms on the ground floor had floors that were not salvageable. Good news: they have been removed, the excavated floor is dry and ready for conduits, pipes, and underfloor heating. I have renovated many old buildings, and I can tell you that this is the ideal scenario!

I agree. And whoever chose some of those colors is blind. Purple trim? Why? Bright blue and red ceilings with baby poop brown? (Or is that baby poop green?) Pick one color palette and stick to it.
Absolutely beautiful property with a lot of potential... But, in addition to restoration work, whoever buys it has to fix the color mistakes that somebody else made.

@@veronicaroach3667 It is not low- the French gov will kill you with regulations to renovate- plus costs, THEN they will devastate you with property taxes. To renovate this, 1-3 million dollars. So, it is not a steal at all, in any way. THEN, you have maintenance monthly costs. See the roof, in excess of 100 k just to do that ALONE.
I think, unfortunately, that you are speaking without really knowing what it's about. Taxes are low in this village, and the roof is in very good condition with new beams, as you can see in the report. The attic is also lined with rock wool and plasterboard. As for taxes, I myself have a 450m² house from the 17th century in Dordogne, with gîtes and guest rooms, and I can assure you that it's not high at all, especially compared to the USA. I have renovated four properties, and it has always been profitable when reselling.
Here, we are starting with a sound and clean base, and there's no reason why it shouldn't be a gem in the end. Many of my friends have already renovated this kind of building. It's a matter of passion and faith. If you let yourself be carried away by negativity and the fear of others, then you should never embark on such a project. However, if you dream of a unique place with strong character, architecture, and history, then this place is for you. If I hadn't just finished my last renovation recently, I admit I would be very tempted.

@@FrenchPropertyByLeggettwell said Cyril. A small hint for your excellent English. Plumbery, as you called it, is plumbing - say plumming though - with pipes put in by plumbers. Definitely not a criticism. I don't know even half of the relevant building words in French.

How much is the chateau up for sell
It’s now sold, sorry. I can’t guarantee the accuracy of this but from what I remember it was at around 670K€ with fees.
It’s beautiful- unfortunately it looks like it was partially renovated by an amateur. Painting original wood in a historic structure should be a crime. I’m very concerned about what appears to be algae or moss growing on the interior stone walls. This could indicate a serious problem with the roof and potential rot in the structural wood. On a final note- the camera work leaves much to be desired. Too much spinning and quick jerking movement. It was difficult to focus on any one particular feature.

Perfect condition but a total renovation!😂😂😂😂
Perfect base for such renovation, yes the most important elements such as the fireplaces, flooring, beams, stones, windows etc are in perfect condition. Now sure that the standards of the 13th century, need a little updating.
It is basically in the middle of part of the town. I suppose the price makes up for that a little. What outbuildings does it still have? I could not see any on Google Earth. 🤔
Hi there, you will find all the details on the property's page: shorturl.at/cDPJF
NICE
Glad you enjoyed the visit :)
I wonder how much it would cost to restore such a castle. Including furniture and interior items.
It depends on your expectations / ideas 💡 and budget… the sky’s the limit.
A friend of ours bought a similarly-sized mansion that dates back to the early 1800's. It too was in very good original condition, but in need of extensive updates. That, as he would find, would be the least of his challenges. The real bear is heating it each winter. Even by closing off entire wings of rooms, the seasonal bill is so high he is not able to repay it until late Summer, or early Fall, when the electrical and gas meters begin their mad rush forward once more. Unless one has very deep pockets to retrofit substantial energy conservation measures such as spray foam insulation, efficient glazing, and geothermal heating and cooling, the new owner may find the original purchase price pales in comparison to the ongoing operational costs. Unless, of course, it becomes a commercial enterprise, where tax savings will offset those expenses.
Hi, There are many ways to heat a château, and no, you don’t heat unused rooms in the winter-you simply keep them from freezing. There are automated central heating systems, like highly efficient pellet stoves. A friend of mine has a château with 26 rooms, and he created a 12-ton silo with a screw conveyor-it works great for minimal cost and no maintenance. When I see the ground floor room with its untouched floor, it’s the perfect opportunity to install an efficient and insulated underfloor heating system, connected to such central heating, and why not combine it with a heat pump, whose thermal efficiency keeps improving.
I invite you to watch this documentary: ruclips.net/video/s0D7Gig4WOA/видео.html filmed at the home of one of our agents who lives in a massive château that she and her husband renovated themselves. I spent last Christmas there, and I can tell you that we were warm and the cozy atmosphere was just perfect, including in the beautiful bedrooms. Since the video, they’ve created a fantastic swimming pool with its own pool house and much more.
Honestly, when you buy a property, whether it’s 600m2, 1000m2, or 2000m2, you know that the larger it is, the more it will cost to heat-you can’t compare a 60m2 apartment in London with a property ten times larger. That said, prejudices are strong when it comes to manors or châteaux, whereas in fact, they are often the most pleasant places to live. Lastly, the thick walls have incredible thermal inertia-they prevent extreme heat from entering in the summer, eliminating the need for air conditioning, and in winter, the stone retains the warmth. With a perfectly insulated attic, some logical renovations, and perhaps double glazing, you can easily achieve incredible performance. Just like here in this château: ruclips.net/video/U5AI29xHkNg/видео.html which achieves the same energy performance ratings as a new low-emission house-a real accomplishment.
Superbe château. Par contre, prenez votre temps pour filmer et vous déplacer. Nous perdons la notion d’où nous sommes dans le château et les mouvements brusques de la caméra ou des coupes donnent mal au cœur. Un gimbal serait bien utile pour stabiliser lorsque vous filmez. Sinon incroyable emplacement et bâtiment.
On a trois gimbal, mais c’est le rush quand on couvre des endroits comme ça, on va très vite, ce jour là plusieurs reportages… mais merci de votre retour.
Ah et je vous rassure, c’est quand même très grand et moi même je me suis perdu entre les niveaux et différents escaliers / entrées.
Did Stevie Wonder paint the windows? Jesus FC, purple?
Prince more probably…
@@FrenchPropertyByLeggett Hahaha
It is a lovely design but honestly, it’s a white elephant,only for people that have more money than they know what to do with and they like the area!
Well, that’s called a renovation project, it requires dedication / vision and commitment. But so many of us and our clients went through that process… generally, when it’s finished, many people are jealous and ask how they could be so lucky etc. The area is nice, the nearby mountains are simply stunning.
Im getting dizzy.
We hope you still enjoyed the tour and the property.
What you could do with this so close to a Ski Resort with the land amazing potential for Ski parties ,year round potential.
That's exactly it. In spring and summer, there are so many hiking trails, mountain biking and cycling paths, fishermen and swimmers heading to the nearby lake, motorcyclists, and classic car enthusiasts who all love Auvergne and its surroundings for their fantastic landscapes and some of the most beautiful roads in the world. This place would make an ideal base for all these potential customers looking for a location with real charm.
Personally, I often spend a weekend in this area during winter, whether it's around La Bourboule, Le Mont-Dore, or even in Cantal, Salers, or in Charroux, a village in the neighboring department of Allier, etc., without even going there to ski-just to walk around, enjoy the mountain scenery and nature, go snowshoeing, and have a good fondue or tartiflette in a restaurant with such a cozy winter atmosphere. ruclips.net/video/2IWue3DEexI/видео.html Or to spend a long weekend riding a motorcycle, or with my familly, in spring or summer. ruclips.net/video/TqJE3fz9O_s/видео.html So yes, it’s easy to see how you could attract guests all year round.

It’s a shame so much of it was painted in those hideous colors. Obviously someone started renovating this. I’d like to know why the stopped. Too much house for me but a great project for someone young with the time and the money.
Wrong, those paintings date back to the 19th century…
Those wall colors and ceiling color? I have a hard time believing that.
@@jenalunsford7597 They may not be old, but they are possibly historically accurate. Colour palettes where much more saturated back then, than they are now.

Video was too fast
13mn long, more than enough to show everything. My choice to go for a VLOG hand held style of filming is mostly due to the fact that I had to film 2 chateaux in a single day… no time for tripods etc.
I had to stop watching because of the fast and jerky photography.
Agree with you, show a property is not the same thing of see a rock video clip.
He needs a handheld gimbal or edit through image stabilization.
Its fine
It’s a VLOG format, done in a rush, I think the most important here is the content, and the property. Anything of interest is shown and explained.
It wasn't that bad. Plenty way worse.

So much potential. Someone should have had their paint brushes confiscated, though...
Well, I recommend you to have a look at the paintings in the Cathedral of Albi… you’d be surprised.
the filming style gave me sea sickness....
Sorry, but our cameraman was strongly influenced by movies like Cloverfield or the Blair Witch Project.
Looks like there's lots of dust everywhere, wonder if some cement factory is not so far away, and why people left this place.
No cement factory in sight, but this place has been unoccupied for decades, so, as in any such castle, a fine layer of dust will settle on the floor and objects. The good news is that we can see the floors, woodwork, and walls are in good condition because they are dry. A great base to start from.

It's an amazing structure with a lot of history to be filled in: between the 1200's and 19th century, for example...are we missing a demolition or two before the 19th century faux Gothic?
It looks like someone has redone all the beams and I hope they knew what they were doing to treat for woodworms, dry rot and I'm sure some maladies I haven't come across for old beams... and then seal it properly.
There seems to be a silent social history covering many of the aristocratic homes/mansions/chateaus in England, France, and now on RUclips, I see Poland. So many stand empty. This was the fate of the aristocracy, in good part, being displaced by the bourgeoisie, respectfully I use the term, in the 19th and early 20th century...and future heirs moving to the "Metro Regions" like many small farmer's children. Lots of potential jobs in rehabbing, then sale to...fill that in for me, I can put $5.00 down.
There are only so many uses for a huge house like this. Most people would not feel comfortable living in such a place without enough other people around so they didn't get spooked by the huge spaces. Of course the original owners would have been surrounded by their servants, so that was not a problem.
It’s in a lovely village. Easy to have a nice social life.
almost all the important elements, such as the impressive fireplaces from various eras, the woodwork, and the staircases, are fully preserved. The paintings date from the 19th century.

The beams are all original, which is impressive, and everything is in good condition. Only the floors on the ground floor had to be removed, but this will allow for the installation of underfloor heating and all sorts of cables. The tiled floors, herringbone patterns, woodwork, and window frames are all in good and original condition, which is rare and incredible. The only partial renovations include the installation of electrical conduits, toilet drains, and bathrooms that likely date from the 80s or 90s. But the hardest part is done: bringing conduits, water, and drainage into the keep! The two staircases make circulation very easy, and the volumes are just incredible. The stonework, woodwork, and roof are sound, and many superb elements are preserved. Yes, there are some plasterboard partitions that I would remove, but that’s a minor detail. It is weatherproof, connected to the networks, and the dovecote is even already a habitable apartment, heated, with a bathroom. Anyone who has ever renovated an old building knows that this is an excellent base! And I say this having renovated four buildings, the last one being a 450m² 17th-century presbytery where I fell through the floor on my first visit. Today, it’s a gem.

@@FrenchPropertyByLeggett True that, why would you.
Remember……French chateau’s come with French TAXES !

The terrible red paint everywhere just ruins the whole place. It looks as though the last owners were remodeling it. The windows look like they were replaced and in odd looking colors.
No, original windows, original beams, original floors, original fireplaces, original staircases, original panellings, everywhere. No one replaced any of those elements. Nothing else, than the kitchen upstairs or the bathrooms, has been added / remodelled.
I see green algae, stones seem to have dampness
Ha! You'd be damp too if you were that old. A little stone pointing and proper drainage is likely in order.
Not been taken care of seen decades… that’s absolutely normal on the north side. These are granite stones… karcher is your friend. Spray anti algae ( fongicide / algicide ) and it will be gone for years, I’ve done that in my own house, impressive change. Cyril
I would buy this, let the cool people party there; hail The French Aristocracy AND Thee Sovereign Office of Heraldry the matter, and with their approval upon signing let the cool people in on invite, knowing I would obtain something beyond coin and mere quip. Salut!
Too small piece of land. I guess that the entire property is surrounded by many neighbors. Probably current owner ran out of budget.
No, the current owner has ample means; he is just occupied with another project. 2 hectares is more than enough to have fun with a lawnmower. The château is at the heart of a lovely village but far enough away to avoid any disturbances. There is a tree-lined driveway leading to the entrance, and the view is uninterrupted from the front. You need to visit the place to understand the layout. For me, it's the best scenario: land in the city and close to the legendary Auvergne stations (20 minutes from Mont Dore / the source of the Dore and Dogne rivers that form the Dordogne, not far from the majestic Puy de Sancy). I love this area; I often go there by motorcycle in summer or to ski in winter. Cyril - Photographer.
@@FrenchPropertyByLeggett That's just a hair shy of 5 acres... That's larger than I thought.
A nice ruin in the middle of nowhere in France. Grab a couple of million Euros and move there. 😊😊😊
I know many people with a dream who started with ruins and turned them into true little gems. I know this because I’m one of them-I renovated a 17th-century presbytery that I bought 10 years ago. On my first visit, I fell through the floor, and water would run down one of the chimneys into the kitchen when it rained... but I saw the potential: the view, the land, the village, and I had a dream that I made a reality.
Today, with 450m², my son’s room and mine are each 50m², there are 300m² of stone terraces, and the dovecote has been transformed into a beautiful summer kitchen by the atypically black-colored pool. The decor is a mix of flea market finds and modern designer furniture. I can assure you that my friends, my guests, everyone loves it, and the phrase I hear most often is, "I wish I had a house like yours..."
If I had listened to those who tried to dissuade me back then from buying "something so big," I wouldn’t be living this dream today. At some point, you have to put your fears aside and take the plunge, no matter the project: starting a business, pursuing an artistic career, going back to school, or renovating a house in France 🇫🇷. Many of our clients have taken that step. In fact, we've become friends with many of them. This fall, I’m going to film the renovation of a manor that a young couple just bought from us. I think it’s going to be interesting.
Cyril - Photographer
The person who painted , should be banned from chateaux’s! Never should they hold a paint brush to paint anything.
It has been totally destroyed inside, renovation always ruins beautiful old places
I don't understand at all how the interior was "destroyed," since 100% of the original elements-beams, fireplaces, windows, sculptures, and carved stones, staircases, parquet floors, and other essential features-have been perfectly preserved. Even the 13th-century fireplace and the dovecote are in perfect condition. The zinc roof decorations are intact as well. The spiral stone staircase is still there, and the façade is also preserved. The only thing that was removed was the floor in the large ground-floor room because it was too damaged, but that actually allows you to see that the ground underneath is dry and healthy. Personally, I immediately saw this as an opportunity to install a state-of-the-art underfloor heating system with a high-performance heat pump.
On the contrary, I would say it's rare to find such a well-preserved and complete base, so close to its original state, in 2024. There’s no degradation; the doors are there, the moldings, the beautiful ornamental tile floors, and much more. If you’re referring to the dated bathrooms, well, that actually means that the plumbing is already installed-water supply, toilet drains-there’s even a second kitchen upstairs, which is perfect since it’s close to the large reception room. And the cables and conduits, strategically placed, ensure easy equipping of all rooms with a modern and compliant electrical system.
Frankly, having already renovated four houses from the 15th to the 18th century, including the last one from the 17th century and 450m2, I can certify that this is probably the best base I’ve seen in a long time. Just for the Dungeon alone, in perfect condition, I think any lover of medieval architecture would instantly fall in love. The view from the windows that go all around the top is simply stunning. Plus, it’s perfectly insulated from the wind; once again, there’s already a bathroom up there, and the electricity is installed, which is one of the biggest challenges in this type of building. I challenge you to find something similar at this price, anywhere in France.

Good bones for a new life.
Yes, it’s a lifetime project and achievement probably. Worth it for sure. Owning a piece of the French history is something.
If I lived comfortably I would build that château in replica here in the Silicon Valley and live in it.

@@FrenchPropertyByLeggett I never said I would not mind owning that château estate either.
Ah ah ah 😂
Hardly 'undiscovered'. You know about it!

Fix it and they will come 😂
Well we did not need to fix it, I think it’s sold now.
Expect to spend about $2,000,000 to fix it up. It could be wonderful, but it needs a lot.
Have you ever renovated a château or a manor? Because I have, and it depends on so many factors-your level of expectations, whether you do part of the work yourself or not, etc. I am absolutely certain that a skilled DIY enthusiast with a limited budget could achieve wonders with this building. The bathrooms are already in place, and new water and electricity installations are in all the rooms. There is indeed a slab/floor and flooring to be installed on the ground floor, which could actually be an opportunity to install low-temperature underfloor heating in addition to pellet stoves-a highly efficient combination. So, throwing out random figures is pointless. Many people prefer to undertake a renovation with their own vision rather than being tied to someone else's vision. This property is unique, offered at a very attractive price, with a solid and beautiful foundation. It retains most of its original elements; it's a true gem that certainly won’t discourage a lover of stone and France. Moreover, given the number of inquiries we've received and the scheduled visits, I doubt it will stay on the market for long-if it hasn’t already been sold (I haven't checked with the agents in charge).

Hi :) Well, i would have to write some comments about this visit of the CHATEAU....
First, the Guide is speaking some approximate english language with a Heavy FRENCH accent..
Frankly, not very professional approach to the possible BUYERS...
SECONDLY : The COLORS and some "DECORATIONS" in the chateau, are FAR from being adapted to the chateau...PINK / MAUVE windows, colored chimneys / fireplaces are far to be the BEST COLORS for this very OLD / HISTORIC Castle....
No comments from the GUIDE...Not sure he is AWARE of any problem..His personal TASTE is in question about this point....
The guide has a strong French accent because he is French, and in France, strangely enough, people speak French. Go figure! The colors are what they are, and again, your guide is not responsible for the paint choices... but if you paid attention to the video, this is a renovation project, and we're still far from the decorating stage. But given the number of visits and offers already received, it seems that the tastes you're questioning are actually those of the clients who buy this type of property.
