Fabulous 20th C chateau for sale near Bordeaux 

Such an elegant building and beyond impressed with the stunning interior details that are surprisingly intact... not worth 4 million dollars though, especially considering the land has been sold off and there are noisey, crowded, subdivisions built right next door and then there are the ugly, smelly, factories you can view from the rooftop. (Not surprised the current owners chose to move and are selling after six generations lived there... with the endless yellow vest riots closing down the streets of Bordeaux, this is the last property I would ever buy. Buyer beware!)

I was authoring a reply WHAT RELIEF and you appeared in the first comment. Brilliant minds think alike I suppose. (Seriously the details in the relief is amazing).

?? 20th C is not old = modern.

There is a French expression unfortunately very difficult to translate, we say "Se coltiner le pouilleux sur le terrain". There is no English equivalent for "coltiner" and 'pouilleux".

3.75 million dollars

@Dojocho But property taxes and maintenance are biggest issue.

@@sonicdeeofficial8925 Property taxes in France are not very high. Climate in that area is mild, so heat should not be too terribly expensive. Air conditioning is unnecessary. Consider what kind of property you could get in this country for that price, and it is a bargain.

@@sonicdeeofficial8925 Not compared to U.S. property tax.

I tried a Google search without success.

Oops. But it's fine anyway

Geez Louise... and pray tell you could afford to buy it and are shopping around YT for your next mansion...

So what.

@@susanbrown2909 the comment was a question, so I could understand the history of the house, not a criticism. Don’t be so quick to judge

The higher up you are in the church the more luxurious the accommodations (a bishop would live in a luxurious mansion like this and nuns would be sent there as household staff) and while we all know the church has always had more money than God, it was quite common for a nobleman, on his deathbed, to leave one of his properties to the church... the church would then ensure he would be blessed and promise he would get into heaven when he died. (Just another way the church would increase their massive global property portfolio.)
