- We have seen more than 12 chateaux and this one was certainly amazing! A 19 century neo classic building with lots of style and class.
We went to see it!
Would this have been right for our future in France? Sadly not, but it was definitely worth trying!
Also we are in the process of buying the chateau of our dreams. But everything takes much longer…

Thank you for showing us these beautiful places and sharing your experiences.
Thank you as well for your appreciation. ☺️
Wishing you all the best on your new adventure.
Thank you very much Brian !
A beautiful Chateau indeed.. but not the one for you. The one you are buying captured your heart & that’s the feeling you want, you know when it’s right ☺️ ❤ Thank you for sharing these other stunning properties 😊
Yes Helen, it did captured our hearts and we can’t wait to be there! Agent said we are getting there soon! ☺️🙏🏼
😊 hello good to see you back 😊 it is beautiful but i agree you need to be able to put your own stamp on it to be called home. 😂behind the scenes 😅
Hello Tee Pee, thank you. Things just taking longer! But thank you for coming back. ☺️😘
@sellingup_buyingachateau I hope I have a few years to follow , ps remember I dust 😂😂😂
Beautiful Chateau. I can see a lot of daylight in the roof in the attic which is concerning. Beau Chateau”s Grandfather replaced the roof many years ago and it was 1 million Euros. And they use the Chateau for weddings and if they have to turn on the heat it is 900 Euros for 1 day to heat the whole Chateau. I think this is the reality of owning these properties that most people do not realize. I hope it is everything you dream it to be❤
Hope all continues to progress positively! You found a real gem so looking forward to watching your journey & hopefully visit one day.
❤️🏰 Thank you. That would be amazing to meet you in person.
The servants rooms might have had the best view, but I bet they never saw it! They would be up before sunrise, and go to bed after sunset.
I had the same thought! The view however beautiful, would not be enjoyed I imagine.
awwwwww poor servants...😢
At least they had a room and food...
Well, as they say, there's no accounting for taste! You chose your style, and I understand your arguments for your choice. But I would have definitely gone for this gorgeous place and beautiful grounds.... 🎶🌷🌳
They said they want a type of project chateau. This one needs nothing dine.
@@heru-deshet359 which is why I said I understand their reasons....
We thought this one was really pretty too, but yes the reasons against it where important as well. ☺️
I’m so pleased you didn’t choose a chateau that needed very little work. What I like about videos like this is seeing how people renovate a chateau and make it truly there own by adding their personal touch. I’ve followed your series from the start, which I haven’t been able to do with others, and always look forward to the next one 😊
Thank you Mike! 😍 exciting!
Everything I have seen on chateau vlogs it takes for ever. Just be patient it will happen.
thank you ☺️ Yes patience is needed! But our agent said papers are progressing, diagnostics are done!
There is a chateau for sale that is right up your alley, but You Tube won't let commenters share their address. It just went up for sale.
Wow, the owners did a nice job fixing up that Cheatue, beautiful grounds. Very nice inside. I think people say it is about 3-4 months for paperwork.
This time will fly by and its just a stepping stone now to your new life’s adventure, and this time next year you both will be in your new chateau on a new exciting path, I keep thinking of how you will change the vlog intro and can see you both riding the horse’s together holding hand’s against a sunset sky on the chateau grounds, it must be all very exciting for you both❤🤞🏼🗝️🏰🍾🥂✨👍🏼
Thank you for this vision! ❤️☺️ Yes we will be able to step up the vlogs and taking you along an amazing journey with all up and downs and miracles and surprises. 🏰❤️
That chateau is breathtaking, however the one you've chosen feels homey, in comparison. So excited to continue to follow you. I know you're going to get very busy upcoming but I hope you make time to keep sharing with us your journey. 🥰
Yes we will share the journey with you. Just like in real life. Sometimes it takes time. :/ ☺️😌😘❤️
The chateau was beautiful but if it doesn't work for what you need and want that's not good. The grounds were incredible. Thanks so much for sharing.
Hello! Wonderful to see you again... yes, agree this is a beautiful chateau but only you know the one that's right for you. I think you made the right choice... it's fabulous.
Thanks for sharing, hope to see you back soon. ❤🦘
Hello Denise 🤗 Thank you. Yes we think too that we made the right choice. ❤️ Coming back soon
Lovely Chateau but the one you purchased - its so you, it fits your dreams and what you want to achieve. I'm sure there is a perfect family for this lovely chateau. Enjoy this 'waiting' time you have before life speeds up.
🤍☺️ thank you. We will
Stately property. Best attic space I've seen to dare in any vlog; servants life aside, nice rooms. As you said, after seeing this one you had no regrets which to me, means you made the right decision.
Thank you Mary Jane! ☺️
Hope to hear from you guys soon. Anxious to see which chateau you purchased.
Thank you for sharing more of your amazing chateau journey with us. This was a real joy to watch and a great opportunity for the viewers to get to know you better. I look forward to more chateau insights as you unveil and explore your purchase and all that you have planned for the future.
❤⚜️
Thank you so much. We are looking forward to the new journey around the chateau as well! Looking forward to have you along the adventures! ❤️😍🤗
Hi Denise and Brett, that Chateau was beautiful, very stately, I was picturing galloping on horseback across that beautiful landscape, but.... you have chosen the one for you, as we said you will know when you feel it. So now it the process plays out waiting game. My fingers are still crossed, this time now for everything left to do go off without a hitch. Love from N.Y.
Love to New York! Thank you Joni! ❤️
Hehehe, the „behind the scenes“ 😂.
Beautiful property indeed but I agree with you - too beautifully restored to rip it apart and do your own thing.
Fingers crossed that your paperwork arrives quickly and you can fully finalise the purchase.
Hehe yes behind the scenes were hilarious. That’s when you run a set without a team. 😄
Diagnostics are done and paperwork in progress! 🙏🏼❤️
Thanks for sharing this!!
After seeing your chateau, none other will do! ❤
❤️
Beautiful! & it has been loved. Bright & Fresh. Luv the walled gardens with views stretching out beyond. Such special , delightful properties in France
Loved this chateau. ❤
Thank you for showing it and giving your thoughts on it too. I wouldn’t like that it’s near the Swiss border though. That wouldn’t be my first choice of location.
Fingers crossed you’ll be on the road to closing soon. Xx
Thank you Brenda! ❤️🤗
You choose the right one.
I enjoyed your video. Beautiful chateau.
Lovely to see you with another vlog. That place was beautiful but too far from us!!!
true! You should move closer to us anyways! 😁❤️😍
It’s definitely beautiful. You made the right choice for your business. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
chateau de la ferte is for sale... they have a you tube channel... happy hunting.😊
Yes sadly they do sell. We already found our favorite chateau. 😍😌
@@Chateau_de_Londigny I love your channel..inspire me to love more...❤️
Being a member of the EU makes buying a lot easier, if it was Brett alone he'd be going through a nightmare...as an American it would be harder for me if I wasn't already in France and established for decades...For Brits it'll now be complicated because of Brexit, so they'll be just like us other Anglophones, except the Irish!!!
Maybe you must look up Chateau de la Ferté which is still a renovation project and came a week ago on the market? Can you find it on youtube? They have amazing youtube videos of renovation and I think although compact, that place has a lot of potential to be exploited? may be you like that one?
Thank you. ☺️ Yes we know about Chateau De la Ferté. Sad! So well done.
But we already found the one for us!
4 weeks….missing your content excited to know how things are progressing
We will come back promise! 🩷
Certainly was lovely. The one you picked was the nicest in my opinion. Love the out takes. Spotted the box of stuff, and thought momentarily, you are just like the rest of us! Keep those up. 😜💚💜
hahaha yes, of funny with the box! 😄 We had a laugh. definitely keeping them! :)
And the chateau we found is our favorite too! 🩷❤️
That is a beautiful chateau, but I can see it didn't fit your needs, though.
The waiting process will be worth the wait when all is approved. ❤
❤️
I saw that the Chateau u have brought was for sale 3 years ago and the comments on there were not that good about it for some reason , one saying its in the middle of no where . I see it was at a good price tho my biggest worry would be that roof not seeing it in the middle of winter would be the next problem but most Chateaus are very cold in winter anyhow . I don’t think its a problem that a chateau is done up as that maybe a plus point because doing one up takes time . The one u are buying looks very much different then the others which maybe a plus point if u like the Gothic look .
Yes there are many plus points. And the location is great! Maybe they haven’t been there when they said it. 😃.
We can’t wait.
An awesome house. Australias property process is so good. I know France is very awkward. The UK is bad enough we sold a place in 3 months and that was considered quick. The was no certainty that it would actually sell right up until the last week and that was with motivated participants. We bought in Oz in 30 days !
Much praise and love from ENGLAND XXXX
Thank you! Love back to you from Australia! Hang in there! 😃🤗❤️
Hi 👋, I hope you are both keeping safe and well, The paperwork for doing the diagnostics on a property is new for this year, from what I can gather, when we X and I purchased a moulin it took nearly 5 months, But Saying that I have heard things go through within 6 to 8 weeks, I think the new diagnostics test will increase buying time, I ended up sending messages nearly every other day trying to push them forward, they do not like this they like to go at their own pace. That is the lifestyle of living in France..
As you said that property was amazing, but somebody had already put their mark on it and would’ve been a shame to change that ,
Not sure whether I heard you say that it got heliport , all its property, I had a client who had got a property that was only about 8 miles away from me, I had been to his property before very old dating back to the 1600s, he phoned me one morning and asked me if I’d meet him his place in about 30 minutes time, I said yes sure I’ll be there in 30m , whilst we were on the phone, I could hear a funny noise, so I just said to, where are you I’m on the outskirts of Cambridge, which is over 40 miles away from where he lives, I said how are you going to get from Cambridge to where you live in less than 30 minutes?, He replied. I’ll be there before you will., that’s okay, I’ll see you back at your place joking, when I pulled into his driveway. There was a large helicopter landed in the back of his garden.,
What a great way to get out of all the traffic first thing in the morning and last thing at night,
I hope all goes well with buying your Château, And obviously you needs a project,
Phil from the moulin
The first mandatory real estate diagnosis dates from 1997 so it's not new. Now there are 12 to do with a validity of 6 months to 10 years.
It takes between 4 and 6 months to finalize a purchase at the notary on average.
Hello Phil,
thank you for sharing your story.
we heard now from the agent that we are getting there soon! So Diagnostics are done and paperwork is in progress.
🙏🏼☀️
That's beautiful but I like the one you chose better 😅
Thank you Randy! Good to know! ☺️
Hello friends,
Without contest, I prefer, by far, the château you bought.
Yes, it's sometimes complicated in France with the administration or French businesses and craftsmen. But you also have to see the good sides and stay positive. You'll enjoy the work accomplished all the better. 😉☺
I wish u the best here in France.
Thank you very much! We try to stay positive. ☺️😉☀️🤗
That was quite a gorgeous property. You have seen really amazing chateaux. It will all work out. Just takes time. Love you guys. Try calling you tomorrow. Was crazy here. ❤😊❤
When is the phone ringing again? ❤️❤️❤️🤍
Now you're talking!
Another rippa episode from the dynamic duo! Well done. What's next?
Thank you 🤗😄 Episode 30! next 🫢😍
Oh, my... I have spend a few days watching your videos from the beginning and when this one ended, I realized there were no more to watch. So sad...😔 Can't wait for the next one... hurry up, I want to know what is going on now! Thanks for sharing your Journey.
Hello Anna, thank you very much for watching and your lovely comment. It will start soon again. You will love the chateau. :) ☺️🤍
How much was this one?
It’s a beautiful property. ❤
🩷
Exciting times
Prefer the one you bought and moved to, more stunning and full of character with beautiful outbuildings
The process can be lengthy. Six months passed between the time my offer was accepted and signing the acte de vente. Being a cash buyer, I thought it would move faster, but due to the fact my property is a historic property, I had to obtain approval from the monument historique, too. At the end of the day, everything worked out. It will for you guys, too.
Thank you Glen! ☺️
beautiful home, but not for a business
I doubt the servants rooms upstairs with the great view ever got seen by them in those days they probably worked til dark too late to gaze out the windows 😊
What's wrong with having a treatment room in another building on the property???
Hello Mary,
Thank you for your question. I am happy to answer this one.
Simply the ways between all buildings also in addition to the changing weather conditions (sometimes rain, strong cold winds etc) it’s just impractical.
We have this situation on the farm here and carrying out towels, cleaning tools etc.
Having everything in one building (especially on big chateau grounds) is much more practical and time saving.
☺️
Still feel you are buying at the worst of times, this bases on my work. G
Nothing in life is ever convenient and time waits for nobody. I'm wondering if you live your life suffering from "analyses paralysis". Always waiting for your stars to align.
@@cheekytygher You have little idea of what is ahead, also I lived in France for 23 years! Do you understand her!
So when would the right time to buy a chateau be and why?
As for “what is ahead ”….this is not the place for Red Pills.
We are trying to consider possible changes and hoping for the best (as you have to when you buy) but having Plan B for the worst of times.
Chateau buying is never smart really.
We understand your concern.
@@TheChateauWhisperer Because we are heading into a major downturn in the economy lasting out into 2026 or beyond. The worst downturn in over 100 years. To me it is a time to hunker down not launch new projects.
Are you aware of the inheritance laws and transfer of property to your fiancé? If you are not married officially the tax is 60 percent for a partner unless you establish an SCI and clause de tontine. And must be done by the notaire ahead of your final acte. Just wanted to let you know !!! Been here 20 years and loving it, but I am single with no children, so it was simple.
Yes we are aware of that. But we definitely appreciate your comment! Very important for many!
🙏🏼
💕How’s your French are you fluent or learning💕
learning. Forgot and now started again.
Glad you didn't buy this place, its looks sterile and has no personality to make memorable.
My comment. Get rid of the blue light.
Hello! where are you gone?
still waiting for the second contract. Thank you for checking on us! ✨😌
