So my family had an experience of what it would be like to be together living in a massive castle. There were 15 of us. My four children and their spouses and children. It was the happiest two weeks of our lives. We rented a massive place and cooked together, swam, read and played board games with the children, we were so lucky to experience this before covid. My elder daughter commented that it must be what heaven is like. Being together and enjoying each other’s company. I have often thought back to that summer and appreciated how wonderful it must be to have a place big enough to absorb so many people .
Thanks so much for your comments. It sounds like you had a wonderful time. Which country was the castle in?
It was in Spain. Two summers ago near a village called Santa Olivia
I have some friends who have a massive family with many nieces, nephews, cousins etc and for 40 years now they have all rented a huge old house near the sea in Britanny where they would spend the summer. A few years back the house was sold off so they clubbed together and bought another huge place near the old one and again spend every summer there and other holidays with kids in attic dormitories and adults preparing huge tables of food. One of the children who is now in her 30's is an actress and has purchased a huge chateau with outbuildings and she has done the same and the house is full of people and she invites young actors to rehearse. She is also running the small farm and producing huge quantities of her own produce, very community. At the beginning of lockdown I practically ran from my old house and moved further south to warmer weather ( France ) and rent a huge old place sight unseen that is attracting lots of friends due to the weather so I hope in some small way it will turn out a bit like this.
@@TheFiown Wow, thanks for sharing that. We think more people should club together and buy big properties like this. It makes so much sense to do it. Have a great day.
Good for you, I would jump from the roof if I had to spend time with my family in that way and number.
Music is so captivating and comforting
Would love to live there listening to it all day.... it's like a dream fantasy
Thanks for your comments.
I love how each room has a different theme & each corner has its own style. Whoever did the decor didn't bore you by applying a single theme to the entire castle. Love it
Thanks for watching and for your comments.
The fireplace at the top of the grand staircase is my favorite feature!
Thanks for watching
I know lots of people buy these properties to use for commercial purposes but I wouldn't want to share share it with anyone. (other than family and friends)
Ha ha, we know what you mean. We just think these properties need life in them so if you have enough family and friends that's perfect.
Powerball winnings would not be enough though, sadly. Typical houses like mine with about 3,500 sq. ft. require a lot of upkeep. I pay for pool service and lawn service, and it is always something else costing $$$$. I spend more money in Home Depot than anywhere else including the grocery store. Now take a place a hundred years old or more and 8 times as large. You have to have staff just to keep it clean. Try heating it, when I lived in Ireland there were two electric meters, one for day and one for night. Night rates were cheap, day rates were like 6 times per kWh I paid in Oregon last year. British Isles are surrounded by water, and when you do not heat that level of space you get a lot of mold, or as they call it rising damp. The taxes are just insane. Then there is the grounds, and a staff for that. Because it is grade listed you are heavily restricted as to what you can do with the property, it is like being married to the government, you can change nothing really, it can literally take years to get permission from the bureaucracy to cut down a tree over 6 centimeters wide. Seriously. Everything built before 2008 is basically obsolete here even now, never enough outlets, poorly insulated, not enough counter space for all the items in kitchens, cheaper building products used, try updating a place built in another century. And labor costs there are outrageous, you don't just pay workmen an hourly wage, you pay their NHS premiums, taxes, and a lot more. All these older places either get torn down or they are updated at HUGE expense, and many years. But they never stay private residences because your payroll to keep it running is like more than half a million at bare minimum. So they get abandoned or turned into commercial properties. Even Middle Eastern royalty has been known to abandon such places.
When I lived in Ireland I saw some old unlived in places that have been on the market like this house, for what seems a cheap price, but the price is based on the land value, the buildings are not a factor because only an insane person would try to restore them and the cost to tear them down (including legal costs to even get permission to tear them down) is a net negative to land price. Even if you could afford to buy and restore/update, and hire staff needed it would take years to ever get to live in it. If a property is worth $5 million the house cost to remove the building would mean they can't get more than $4 million. Check out Sotheby's auction site (mostly places you can move into now) or search for like Mansions Ireland, or Scotland etc. You will find a lot of places like this in every state of repair. But the $$$$$ asking price is only the very beginning, no matter what that is you can double it before you ever move in, and in older longer abandoned places if you do not have $100 million you can forget it.
There is a reason these places go for less than the value of the land.
You'll have to get them to chip in to pay for the atrocious heating bills for starters then.
@@chumleyk Go off grid, solar, wind, geo-thermal, it would cut costs drastically.
If only i had the money my family and friends could live there too how beautiful 💖
Thanks for watching. Yes, just imagine being there now with friends and family. The perfect place to make the most of lockdown.
Absolutly splendide 😍😍😍😘, classic, and beautiful, now another dream home on My list...
Thanks so much for watching and for your comments.
I can imagine so many possibilities for this home! With views like that, who WOULDN'T want to live in a castle in Scotland?!
Thanks for watching. Yes it's lovely now but has huge potential!
Interiors are so fresh and lively, unlike old and dull castles. Location is pristine, lovely open space. Living in it would be a dream come true.
Love Scotland and this Castle is divine
Thanks for your comments. We agree!
Owning this would be a dream come true ! Absolutely Stunning !
It’s so beautiful 🤩 that is my favourite for sure .Love it more then everything these days .Love love love
Thanks for your comments 👍👍
My goodness for 2.5m is amazing value when you see what else is on the market for that price. If you had the funds for upkeep, maintenance, heating, annual taxes etc.......and a beautiful location!
i always dreamt of living in that kind of house 🥺
Thanks for your comments. It's lovely isn't it.
i like the colors i just want to say i watch all kinds of videos having to do with houses i guess thats how it iis sometimes but i love to see the ideas people have and look at the different patterns and styles ive always been fond of interior decorating
Absolutely beautiful film. Truly lovely estate and the music could not have been more exquisite. 😊
Thanks so much for your kind comments. It’s a lovely property isn’t it? Have a great day.
Yes please!
Wow I would buy it in a heartbeat it’s a beautiful castle 🏰
Thanks for watching. We agree.
If I could afford this, I'd spend morning til night with the upkeep, treasuring every single second. Absolutely beautiful and the things, only my dreams are made of.
Thanks so much for your comments. Sometimes dreams become reality. We love this property too. Could you imagine spending Christmas here? It would be wonderful.
This home has GREAT natural light! I love all
the gorgeous ceilings and details in the stairs and fireplaces. Stunning.
Thanks for your comments. Yes there are wonderful original features in this property. Have a great day.
Simply beautiful and enchanting. Love it,wish I could buy it and afford to run it.
Thanks for your comments. It's wonderful isn't it?
Can see so much potential and this home could be brought back to life! Sounds like a perfect location and heat sources sound fantastic and just can see weddings and so much taking place once all is back in operation. This is so beautiful and such history!! Love it. The family crests etc means so much, Can see this was a very special castle in its day and certainly still is once new life is breathed back into it!
This is a classic fairytale Scottish castle. Really beautiful inside and out and those views! It would be fabulous to be restored as a family home. Imagine christmas here 😍 and summer garden parties. I want it! I am just 2.5 mil short right now :(
Thanks so much for watching and for your comments. We love it anyway but yes, we agree, at Christmas it would be perfect! Have you ever visited Scotland?
The best honestest and pleasest country is that true? I wonder full of happiness and gladness. God bliss you.
Yes that's probably true! Thanks for watching.
It is probably the music or maybe because I am watching this at 4 am but I am getting a "this place is haunted" vibe, big time!
Muito lindo! Sou apaixonada por construções antigas.
Muito obrigado por assistir. Bem-vindo ao nosso canal no TH-cam.
Awesome staircase and amazing coffered ceilings. The price tag isn't too outrageous considering ($4,300,000.00 Canadian Dollars) About the price of a medium sized house in Toronto, Ontario or a penthouse condo of about 3,000 sq ft.
Hi, thanks for watching. Yes considering the size of the property, the location and those lovely architectural details, it is great value - especially when compared to some fairly 'normal' houses in any of the major cities
There is a reason why such a home is at that price. A small alert ent could cost 4 times that in London.
Location location location!!! @@Art-is-craft
Charming and exquisite....
This is one of my favorite channels. What a beautiful place. I like the wooden panels in all the rooms.
Thanks so much. Yes this property has got some lovely features.
Wow what a beautiful home and what scenery as well someone is going to get a bargain
It’s beautiful isn’t it? Thanks for watching
WOW it's beautiful and not a bad price really.
Thanks for watching. Yes for the size, location and history, it's a very reasonable price.
Beautiful castle by the sea.
Thanks for watching.
Very beatiful castle 🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thanks so much for watching. It’s a wonderful property isn’t it?
Beautiful! would love to live here! I use to work at Carbisdale Castle when is was a SYH Hostel. Its main downfall was the pluming.
Oh wow that's cool, Carbisdale was up for sale a few years ago wasn't it? We haven't visited it but it looked like it was in an amazing location.
To be honest you would only plumb part of the building as maintaining such a system would require in house plumbers.
A beautiful place...can’t help but feel some melancholy watching as I think of the many families once occupying this grand house and how alive it must have been.
Yes the walls must have many stories to tell. Now it needs a new owner to open the next chapter. Would you like to live there?
Wow..it's beautiful. If my business takes off, I would buy it. Keeping my 🤞
Thanks for your comments. Best of luck with the business.
I used to play in this castle as a young lad great memories of the place😊
Thanks for watching. It’s a lovely property isn’t it?
@@castlesforsale Its great property! One of those places you see in the flesh and dream of living there! The surrounding area is also beautiful from the beach to the mountains it's a fantastic place to be.
The chosen music was fitting and quite beautiful. The house is not really to my taste, but it would be wonderful to live in a place where one could say "release the hounds", and not seem crazy. 😁
Thanks so much for your comments. We appreciate what you're saying about the interiors but then, it is in good condition throughout so we're sure it's a project any interior developer would love to get their hands on.
YES I LOVE TGAT GOREGOUS FIREPLACE 🌹AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRCASE 💖🍀🌹WOW... IM IRISH 🌹THIS CASTLE IS WONDERFUL🌷

@@qiyan7971 yes it’s a wonderful country. Have a great day.
@@castlesforsale I live in Leeds and wish to visit ur castle sometime next year after lock down.Merry Christmas !
I lived in Carbisdale Castle before they turned it into a youth hostel. The entire armory, library, paintings, all the statues, furnishings, everything... was in place.
Carbisdale is a very impressive castle. The last we heard it was being refurbished back to being a private residence.
Categorically exquisite.
Thanks for your comments. We agree.
Incredible just beautiful

What a beautiful place i wish I had the money to buy it I would love to live there
my grandmothers family came from this area .wigtown . apparently they had a family seat there . it was burned down in early 20th century . nowhere near as big as this , but pretty big as i have seen pics of it . mcgarroch family .
Wow, thanks for your comments. It's always interesting to hear about family links and other connections to the castles (and the areas they're located in) on our channel . Have a great day.
Beautiful
This is lovely

Many thanks!
Love the color palette used, so light and airy. Does it come with acreage? Definitely built recently, but no expense spared. Lovely!
Thanks for your comments. It has approximately 5 acres including stables, garden, woods and a paddock.
So warm and comfortable ❤️

Beautiful 💖 Perfect music too.👍
What a beautiful castle! 🌷👌
I love it!
Thanks for your comments. We agree.
I watched this muted because I had the news on. I rewatched it with the news off and the sound up and them music REALLY sells it. So much more appealing with the music.
Thanks for your kind comments. It's a lovely property isn't it? Have a great day.
¡Qué belleza!
Gracias por tus comentarios.
I’m not joking I cried when watching this it’s beautiful
Ahhhh. It's a wonderful property isn't it? Thanks for watching.
Lovely home. I read somewhere that this was raffled off. I wonder if it's the winner who's selling the house?
It is very hard work to keep such a house up and running
Thanks for watching and commenting. It’s also amazing to live in a property like this. The upside far outweighs any downside in our opinion. Have a great day.
Castleist - The Castles For Sale Website Are you talking from your own personal experience? The constant maintenance is an enormous task and leaves little to no time to actually enjoy the “dream” unless you have lots of staff with both left and right golden hands and endless devotion Merry Christmas from the Caribbean 🌴🍍🥥🍹🍹
SO BEAUTIFUL AND ROMANTIC
Yes, we agree. Thanks for watching.
Такой добрый и милый Замок, пусть в твои стены придут заботливые и аккуратные Хозяева и твои стены на долго останутся в одной семье)
Will the home is pretty cool landscaping not bad lots of trees I like that but as far as the interior decorating and most of the colours and the sparseness its 3rd rated best what a potential that has though
Thanks for watching. Yes it has huge potential in our opinion.
😍😍😍😍
Thanks for watching. Have a great day.
Beau mais sûrement plein de fantômes
Nous y vivrions toujours même si des fantômes y vivaient. Merci d'avoir regardé la vidéo et passez une excellente journée.
@@castlesforsale vous avez une idée ce que c'est une maison ou château antees ?
Wow!!!
Thanks for watching.
Its insane how much you get for your money in Scotland! This place is spectacular. Purchasing it might be affordable, but I suspect running it would be ruinous - imagine the heating costs alone!
Thanks for your comments. Probably not cheap to run but plenty of opportunities with a property like this to generate income too.
Always the point with huge homes....you have to be a multi-millionaire to afford the running costs of such a place....in the end that is why there are so many of them available - yet I hope they are lived in because they are all too beautiful to be wasted ! Truth is there is no way one family could occupy enough of this place to make it worthwhile....and that was how it was when they were built...the only reason they had so many bedrooms was because of the constant visitors & their need to impress !
@@veronicaroach3667 hi thanks for your comments. You’re partly correct but you don’t need to be a multi-millionaire to own a huge home. We know plenty of owners who aren’t. Some of them just have good incomes and/or generate income from either the main property or other properties on their estate.
Just 5 grand a month for the council tax. Why wouldn't you haha
❤❤❤❤❤❤
What would be the total property taxes (annually)? I am assuming that the castle and the land are separate taxable entities, yes? Thank you.
magnifique chateaux
Merci beaucoup
Maravillosa la música de este video, y el castillo precioso, qué pasó con los dueños? parece que estuvieran ahí..
Gracias por vernos. Sí, es un hermoso castillo.
Not Balmoral but exquisite and very suitable for a Princess
Thanks for your comments. Yes a princess would be very happy here.
As a Harry Potter fan, THIS IS THE HOME OF MY DREAMS!!!!!!!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Well, the property is still available to buy with a reduced price of 'Offers over £1.7m' - that's down from the previous guide price of £2.5m. The property needs some work but for 25,000 sq ft and right next to the coast, we think it's great value.
Хочу,очень хочу жить в таком замке!
Большое спасибо за просмотр.
Does it come with the furniture and knick-knacks?
Let us know what you think of this one. We think it has loads of potential for use as a commercial property e.g. a boutique hotel or perhaps further development.
I think it is an absolutely beautiful!
Although personally I would not use it as a hotel or something like that, I would keep it as a private property
Beautiful, but if I bought it I'd have to drive on the wrong side of the road :p
I wish you, or another one of these types of channels, could do a video on Chastlellux. A 24,000 sq. ft. chateau for sale in Tuxedo Park, NY.
All we see on the realtor/zillow type sites are about 10 inside pics. I'd love to see more of it :)
@@malachi8293 My thought exactly!
Stunning! but I wonder about the upkeeping expenses, heating - electricity bills, tax etc?
In my next life... ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for watching. It's a lovely property isn't it?
Unreal

I wouldn't even care if i lived there alone i want it
