In the event that you win the lottery, here are 10 French châteaux for sale

There are around twenty rooms totaling about 1,800 m2 of living space in the structure. While the other needs complete restoration, one-piece needs maintenance. This once-in-a-lifetime fixer-upper is listed at €901,000.

“Cereal crops prevail; rolling wheat fields may be seen for miles, but there are also hints of rape and sunflower fields. Old Bastide or walled villages, modest, proud Gascony castles and tree-lined copses of trees are perched atop the hills. To the delight of its people, who are all somewhat philosophical and know how to enjoy the good things in life, this countryside looks ageless.

The listing is with Patrice Besse.

#6 complete with a vineyard and winemaking career

Although this one isn’t literally a castle, the fact that there is an unending supply of wine more than makes up for it.

Since the Roman era, vines have been cultivated at the”Côtes de Castillon,”in the center of the Bordeaux vineyards. This enormous estate, which spans 60 hectares, is located off the beaten path not far from a quiet little community. The property has a 20-hectare productive vineyard, and planting rights for an additional 5 hectares might be acquired.

The 400 m2 residence, which was constructed in 1782 on a 13ème century estate, has two floors of living space and is being renovated. There are wine cellars, stables, a well, a caretaker’s home, a hunting lodge, and parks on the entire property. It costs €6,300,000.

#10 The Shell alone

The Château de l’Herm was constructed in 1520 in a Renaissance and Gothic style, making it the most ambitious of the fixer-uppers. Despite the fact that it hasn’t been occupied since 1605, the French Ministry of Culture designated it as a historic monument. The castle’s surrounding moats may still be seen in the Dordogne.
