Although I have my heart set on one particular castle, I want to explore my options and see some properties while in France. Here are some more we hope to see. I like the outside but the inside is pretty boring, at least what I can see of it, but apparently there are many unrestored...Read More
Here’s another possibility, but it’s not high on my list of favorites. What I like about Butron castle is its size: it’s massive. I like all the towers. I like that it looks like a ‘real’ castle. And at 3.5 million EU it’s half the cost of my other favorite. What I don’t like about...Read More
This castle has had ‘extensive restoration work’ done so I can’t tell how much of it is actually 11th century (that’s 1000 years old!). But I love the way the tower sticks out of the trees like that. And the outer walls like pretty massive. I can’t tell how big it really is or how many...Read More
I was really excited about this one but now I’m not so sure. It’s certainly photogenic. It’s certainly a castle with a lot of history. It’s “authentic” – parts of it haven’t been updated for 300 years. And you can’t beat the surroundings: within 1KM there’s white water rafting, mountain climbing, beautiful hiking trails...Read More
Eastnor Castle is my dream home. I love the outside. I love the inside. I believe you can rent the whole thing, it has 11 beds (plus some cottages). I’m prepared to pay $20,000 a week, or $80,000 a month, which would be close to a million a year in rent. Then I’d need to...Read More
This is the property that got me excited about CreativCastle in the first place. A huge castle in need of a community and some love to restore it. But I couldn’t narrow a price and it seems to be around 11million. However I just saw some news that puts it at 4.5. True, it’s not...Read More
I’m kind of loving this property – Chateau De Baloigne. It’s not the luxurious castle I have in mind. It’s probably too isolated and rural. The main house has 8 bedrooms and there’s a lot of outdoor space, but with nothing else happening, I think the silence and old ruins might begin to drive me crazy after...Read More
This one reminds me of Oregon’s “Enchanted Forest.” For 1.5million EU it’s a contender, and it looks like it has a bunch of side buildings as well and quite a lot of grounds. http://www.bellesdemeures.com/annonces/achat-de-prestige/chateau/chateauroux-36/la-loge-notz-cre-touvent/79619313.htm?ci=360044&idqfix=1&idtt=8&idtypebien=13&tri=d_dt_crea&bd=li_LienAnn_PhotoRead More
I’m quite interested in this one as well. At 2.5 million EU it’s a little pricier, but it’s been mostly modernized, and the exterior looks great (including the all important tower). Plus it seems like it comes with those four outbuildings, which could be used for extra accommodation or events, and one of...Read More
