Ever fancied living in your own CASTLE?
It’s more than a daydream, guys – now that this incredible French château is going under the hammer on October 19 starting at pennies.
The breathtaking 22,000sq ft Château de Blancafort, standing in more than 42 acres, has been part of the countryside just 90 minutes from Paris sinc 1453.
And now it’s coming up for auction with no reserve price, meaning it technically could go at just one cent.
Previously on the market for €4.95m, there’s a double driveway lined with blue cedar trees leading up to paradise, just 30 minutes from Sancerre – proper wine country.
It’s currently a a thriving business, with the château, tearoom, and gardens hosting visitors and wedding receptions – but you can use it as you wish.
