A remarkable real estate heritage
France has more than 40,000 castles and an unknown but even greater number of manors, manor houses, mansions and beautiful homes. This architectural wealth is a major factor in France's appeal to tourists. The large mountainous, agricultural and forest areas provide a remarkable setting for these jewels of our real estate heritage.
Becoming a castle owner in France
Have you always dreamed of buying or living in a castle or are you an enlightened lover of old stone buildings? Ma-propriete-prestige.fr, your specialist in prestigious real estate, offers you a large selection of prestigious estates for sale in all the departments and regions of France, and why not even a medieval castle or a fortified castle.
The prices of these luxury properties vary greatly, but it is possible to acquire a small castle or manor house to be restored for less than €300,000. Prices vary according to the location of the property, its environment, its date of construction, its state of habitability and the work to be carried out. Finally, the surface area of the land is also an important criterion in the valuation. A large wooded park, an agricultural or wine-growing estate, a forest or a hunting park will add value to the estate.
The most expensive châteaux are generally those built around the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. The most affordable are the more recent 19th century châteaux. Manor houses can be more expensive than huge castles which can be difficult to maintain, heat and live in. Choosing a chateau for sale that is listed or registered on the Inventaire Supplémentaire des Monuments Historiques (ISMH) allows you, under certain conditions, to benefit from subsidies or tax breaks linked to the renovation work, in the form of a partial deduction of the property charges from your overall income or a total deduction of the subsidised work.
You may also wish to acquire a prestigious property to develop a commercial, tourist, agricultural or wine-growing activity. On Ma-propriete-prestige.fr you will find a selection of hotel or tourist estates, agricultural or wine-growing properties including a residence or a house of character.
