Sales of French châteaux have increased since TV celebrities and
château owners Dick & Angel inspired a nation...
to come. The investment and
hard work required as shown
by 'Dick and Angel' doesn't often pay
off in monetary terms
but the wonderful lifestyle and
commercial opportunities make
up for that.
When considering buying
a château make sure you seek
professional advice from a trusted estate agent
such as Leggett.
We are used to dealing with
such sales and the legal requirements that come
with that - we
have helped 100's of customers
find their fairytale castle.
You don't need to be a millionaire.
On our website we
have well over 100 châteaux
for sale at under €1m euros. The
cheapest is around €250,000
and is perfectly habitable. It
dates back to the 15th century
and has a moated garden and
its very own dungeon. You will
however need to find money to
finish the renovation and pay
for the annual upkeep...
Of course, we also have
many historic and prestigious
châteaux for sale too. I can fully understand
why so many
people enjoy browsing through
our listings and saying to themselves
"one day"!

owning a French château equate
to surefire

moment, and as a result visits to our châteaux web
pages jumped by around 800%

Owning a château isn't for
the faint hearted. Buyers need
a good amount of imagination,
courage and cash, but the appeal
is easy to see. There is something romantic
about owning a

history and bringing a national
treasure back to life so that it
can be enjoyed by generations
