    I've never wanted a property more!! I would immediately ask how much extra the owner would need to let most of the collections be left as well. The placement of paintings and religious objects from so many cultures are so magnificently displayed! It is truly a dream of a castle and having watched restorations of these types of dwellings I am aware of the amount of labor and money that goes into them. This place? I can't imagine. I'm obsessed. PS. I just looked at the price and find it beyond reasonable. Thank you for the unveiling of this historic gem!

    • @philipwellsrealestate
      @philipwellsrealestate  Месяц назад +1

      Much of the art and religious artifacts would have to be separately negotiated, but Ivo mentioned that most of the furnishings could be had for an additional $1M.

      I don’t think you’d need quite so much- the taxes are actually quite low if it’s your primary residence, and perhaps if you were creative and hosted some events or airbnb you could cover most of the taxes and upkeep!

We were worried about making too long of a video, but there was so much to show for this one. I'm curious what you think of the next one -- it is similar in a way, but also quite different.
      We are trying to do our best to "waypoint" during the videos, so it's clear where we are, where we were, and where we are going during the tour, which isn't always so easy in these huge old world castles and chateaus! I appreciate the note and you joining us for the journey :)

Plenty of ceiling height for air ducts and room for compressors on the roof though if the buyer wanted to add.

    *$4 million????* Does the castle come with all the furnishings, antique weapons, books, paintings, etc.? If not, how will Ivo sell all that stuff? One giant auction? ( I'm assuming he will be "downsizing". LOL!). And then the new owner will have a pretty intimidating decorating job ahead of him! I guess he could go to Ivo's auction and buy the lot, but at what price? That collection looks extremely valuable. And if Ivo leaves all those furnishings, antique weapons, books, paintings, etc. what's to stop the new owner from auctioning it all off for a huge profit? Is there some kind of contract in place whereby the buyer leaves the collection and passes it along when he sells? And truthfully, as a homeowner (of a much more modest house), I see owning this castle as hugely expensive and a lot of work in and of itself. The new owner must basically be a curator/historian, and willing to dedicate his life to maintenance. Looking after this seems all-consuming. Anyway... *UNBELIEVABLE* place... and a fantastic tour! Thanks!

      It could be negotiated- I think the owner mentioned it could be bought as-is with nearly everything, art, furnishings, equipment, etc for an extra $1M

    I do remember seeing Stephanie here touring with the owner, who said he used to be a monk.
    I don't know how he went from having nothing as a monk to owning this chateau. Mmmm?

      Hello. Certainly not being a politician. Just working because before entering the monastery I got my degree in laws and also as geographer, I quitted monastic life with 30 years and now I have 66 , time enough to do some savings. Regards

      Hello Seattlebeard, That would had been a great idea in the moment but monastery life is like in jail. You leave with the same things you entered in. But life in monastery gave me better vision on collecting. The sad things is that many of the monasteries I lived in were years later closed because lack of vocations and were given by free to local municipalities. My order had 7 monasteries in Egypt and all of them were abandoned; then...If I had knew that then I am sure I would had keep many books for me. Regards and do not hesitate to be curious. Ivo

    A wonderful castle. But the low price surprises me. It costs less than my house here in Melbourne. Why is the owner selling this? No doubt because of high maintenance costs and property taxes? What are these exactly?

    • @philipwellsrealestate
      @philipwellsrealestate  14 дней назад

      I’ll let Ivo comment as to the ongoing maintenance expenses-but the taxes are surprisingly low in France and many of them for this property can be deducted through a program that encourages the maintenance of historic properties. Send me an email for details philip@philipwells.com

    • @ivofornesa513

      Hello Befeleme. You are indeed right, the price is not low but is neither expensive. In fact Is 30% under the money I put in. Why I am selling? Because , although I love the place, I am 66 years old and I do live alone in the place with my dogs and remember that all the buildings together makes 3400 sqm. Too much work for me alone.
      I am also interested in another place, also an historical building, smaller but isolated surrounded of dark green forest.Clearly I like solitude.
      Maintenance cost are not a big problem, forst at all because I restored the whole place and consequently is in good shape. Tap water is good quality and cheap (520/year), electricity price is also reasonable but remember that some lamos has more than 30 bulbs, you must just be careful, heating is the most costly but myself I never used for last 8 years (you can just heat the areas you wish to use in winter but as I move around I prefer not to waste my money in heating focusing in good wines and licquors). As Philip mentioned, land taxes are really low, only 1300 dollars per year.
      Only gardening becomes expensive if you wish to have a wonderful flowerry garden but as I have big dogs they step on every flower
      Hope you ok with my answers. Regards, Ivo

      @@ivofornesa513 Hello Ivo, thank you very much for your response. The expenses are lower than I expected. I have a couple more questions, please: I noticed that you advertise the chateau as a B&B accommodation on several booking sites, did you find this worthwhile? I noticed there are security locks on several internal doors - are there several separate, self-contained apartments? How far is the chateau from the nearest international airport? Finally, please let me also take this opportunity to congratulate you on this amazing renovation!

      @@befeleme Thanks for your kind words. B&B is an interesting thing to do, you know many people and some of them become characters of my books but also is a profitable activity, not to become rich but it is another way to pay all the expenses related to maintenance: insurance, services, taxes, etc and some more: The horrible locks is because of B&B, the insurance company requested in order to adapt the policy.
      Normally I land in Paris Charles de Gaulle airport. There is one in Chateauroux (30 Kms far) that it was the longest ground for atomic bombers. Now is private places and just some European airlines and mainly good transportation flights. There is also Limoges , just 80 minutes far. But as I said, myself I use Paris and later I pick the train and in 1H . 45 minutes I arrive to Châteauroux; Best regards, Ivo

Maybe a floorplan in the corner would be helpful for waypointing- but they usually don’t have them for these old properties so we would have to send someone in to create one in advance of our tour. Appreciate that you made it to the end and took the time to comment - we’ll will keep it in mind for the future
