Welcome to my reaction video to Erik Conover's latest mansion tour! In this video, I dive deep into Erik Conover's incredible tour of a property potentially for sale for over $1,000,000,000. As I react to the video, I provide expert advice to potential buyers on whether to purchase this luxurious mansion and suggest the best use for the property.
Erik Conover's mansion tours are always spectacular, and this one is no exception. Throughout the video, I will mention Erik Conover's name and the tour 10 times to ensure you don't miss any details. We'll explore every corner of this magnificent mansion together, and I'll offer my insights on the property's features, amenities, and overall value.
In addition to reacting to Erik Conover's tour, I also draw comparisons with another renowned mansion tour creator, Enes Yilmazer. Enes Yilmazer's videos are equally impressive, and I'll mention his name 5 times in this video.

Hello i'm french and i live in Normandie not far from this château. I'm a great fan of your channel and i really enjoy your comments so relevant and well seen! I do enjoy Enes's channel as well and however appreciate the way you find out the flaws in his sometimes dythirambic descriptions. As far as the château du Champ de Bataille is concerned, you react as an american real estate agent. This huge property is definitely not for sale. Jacues Garcia's goal was to restore a gem of historical heritage. I have visited regularly this place over the last 20 years and what has been done there is stunning! I am a teacher and i went there with my pupils twice. The staff had organised a "treasure hunt" in the entire garden. It was so great!! OK this property is "insane" but its destiny is absolutely not to be divided in lots. Profitability in this case is not the point.

@jam6636 2 месяца назад

In my country, Uruguay, we also have rich people that have built/inherited lavish properties and they open them to the public year round, some for free or very low fee to anyone. and yes they do find other ways to get a lot of money to maintain them but thousands of people go to these places as if they were a public park opened by the millionaire owners that enjoy dedicating their lives to sharing the arts and culture of their nation that transcends their individual existence. " you react as an american real estate agent" came to the same conclusion 13 minutes in haha I love watching videos of these french families (many middle class) putting so much effort into restoring palaces, chateaus, castles and so on to both live and open them for the wider public.

@PandorasFolly 3 месяца назад

So i did some research on Jacques afforded this. He bought the estate for pennies. It was in a derelict state. Further he has been able to write off most or all of the cost of the restoration and maintenance off of his taxes. I think this includes his immense art acquisitions for the estate. Also may have moved part of the ownership/control of the estate to a non profit org. It looks like he made his money not from inheriting it by legitimately being one of the top Ultra Lux hotel designers in the world. If you look at some of his designs you'll see what I mean. He made some smart investments in his early life and sold his properties to fund the purchase of this estate which has been his residence (maybe only) when he isnt traveling for work.

@zdeg1 3 месяца назад

If the building is registered as a "historical building/monument" with the French ministry of culture, you can do nothing but maintenance, no subdivision, no new buildings, no modernization, whatever work you want to do on the existing buildings have to be approved by a listed expert architect. and you're obliged by law to keep it in good shape or you loose it.

@zuma-dude 3 месяца назад

Hi Arvin. Concerning the acreage, The Committee of Parks and Gardens of the French Ministry of Culture lists it as 138 hectare (so 341 acres). Subdividing isn’t likely an option. The French Culture Ministry lists it with a Protection Classification of “MH” which is to say it is a historical monument and any work on the property, including land usage is subject to approval of the government. And selling it? Well, since it is a historical monument, “it cannot be transferred (sold, bequeathed, given, etc.) without first informing the Minister of Culture.” Likewise, no new construction may be built against the protected building without the prior consent of the Minister. (And even if you could subdivide, the location is literally in the middle of nowhere so I doubt anyone would build there.) However, having MH status means that “maintenance is partially funded by the state, and tax exemption is possible for owners.” also “Maintenance, repair and restoration work carried out for the conservation of the building may benefit from state aid (limited to 40% of the total amount, but cumulative with those, if any, from other communities)” The “kitchen” area is probably a part of the estate that is open to the public, kind of like a museum (so the apples. like the pig on the rotisserie spit, is fake, and there for show. He did point out a section of the chateau is closed off and used as a private residence. Using it for film location purposes is a “maybe,” but I doubt there would be enough use by the studios to offset even a small part of the upkeep. It’s an interesting place, but that’s about it. Certainly not worth purchasing. It does, however, make for good youtube content. 😁

@artpro5930 2 месяца назад

Thanks for your comment, it was very informative. Perhaps you know the answer to this question based on your previous comment: How does The French Culture Ministry deal with properties of this type where there is no "Jacques" to perform all the maintenance or the "Jacques" runs out of money to maintain the property? Given the significant restrictions on a property once it is designated as "MH", I would imagine that there are MH properties in France that no one can afford to maintain and there are no financial or real estate strategies, due to the restrictions on MH status, to make the property economically viable.

@zuma-dude 2 месяца назад

@@artpro5930 Wish I could help, but I don't know the answers to your specific questions. As for MH properties being unaffordable, I would agree that would be the case. One must assume they end up as "state" properties.

@YashaHarari 3 месяца назад

Arvind, owning this type of property is not about subdividing the land. It is about the grandiosity. You don't just get rid of those gardens. They are practically national treasures. They add a tremendous value to the property not just from a historical perspective, but from a real estate perspective. Where else can you enjoy such luxurious gardens in a private property? This is not a property for the typical ultra wealthy person. This is a property that is more than a trophy. It's a landmark.

@clockworkvanhellsing372 2 месяца назад

Honestly, buying even more land arround it may be the way to go. One could build some (style fitting) ouses on it and rent it out as a holiday / spa resort, with the gardens and main mansion as recreational facilities, with an entertainment function (i,e. sctually using the greek theater of historical theatre plays etc.).

Yeah haha there is no way his suggestion of subdivision is close to legal. I guarantee that this building has historical protections in law, like many castles and estates in the UK. You can't just turn it into a housing estate... I feel like Arvin missed the entire point of these types of estates. They're not meant to be practical, wealth generating family homes - they're supposed to be stupid and ridiculous displays of wealth. That was the objective of the people who built them.

Arvin, I think you left out a realistic use for the insane property. There are so many billionaires around these days who can easily afford the $25 million/year upkeep tab and would enjoy reveling in the extravagant gardens and vast interior spaces. Think of all the 300 foot yachts that cost $200 million to build and have annual running costs of $20 million. One thing I noticed is that a new owner would have to be short stature. The tour guide had to duck his head under almost all doorways and duck under many ledges going down stairs. The property appears to be a semi-museum already. The lower-level kitchen areas were all fenced to keep people from entering them, much like a historical mansion such as Versailles. Although the many rooms filled with stuffed dead animals were really creepy, I did enjoy the rigid, highly-formal gardens.

In European castles and palaces big events are usually hosted in the courtyard, and not somewhere in the park. Most of them are used as some sort of museum, hotel, wedding venue, etc. so they have been adapted for those uses with modern kitchens, backstage rooms, offices, toilets, wardrobes, storage rooms, technical facilities, electricity, water, wastewater, and so on. If you're wondering why you don't see that in tours of the grand representational rooms: It's usually in the former stables, servants quarters, storage vaults, agricultural yards (yes, most palaces were or are also farms), etc. and those have nearly always been on the ground floor of the palace and/or in a side wing off of the courtyard. So if you are hosting an event you're doing it in the courtyard as the amenities are already there. You also already got access for trucks, emergency vehicles and footpaths wide and stable enough for hundreds of people.

@bougiemanmike 3 месяца назад

Okay, so Jacques Garcia is a pretty famous and influential interior designer known mostly for his work on palaces (for a good example of what he does for his clients, look up the Villa Astor Sorrento or the Chateau de Villette, as this is a terrible example of his work). From the rumblings I’ve heard in the design community, he wants this place to be his personal version of the Soane museum in London. It’s functionally his personal museum, a display of his achievements as a collector. And based on the fact that there was a pretty famous Sotheby’s sale of some of the artifacts he’s collected, he either badly needs an infusion of cash so is looking to rent out part of it, or he’s preparing to die and is looking to find someone who will preserve it as is for him. Or perhaps both.

Nah, i think he is better to stick with newly built modern buildings. I don't think he understands about europian or asian old mansion, its historical value or that this houses are literally under state protection. Owners have no right to destroy it, divide it or modernize it . He probably works with new money clients and not nobles with mansions. Zero knowledge in this fiels it seems.

I think the best way to monetize this property is to open it to tours, just as they do for Versaille. You could sell multi day tickets for the tours. No one could possibly see all of this in a single day. You could book overnight or multi day stays in the rooms for visitors and I'm sure hotels and restaurants and shops in the area could, or already are making a substantial amount of money on tourism as it is. As far as using it for movie sets, how many movies can one make in these areas before audiences begin to notice the same scenes in different movies?

As a new subscriber who binged on your videos, I dig your recent format.

@sterlinglewis5700 2 месяца назад

Originally built at a time when the aristocracy were in mad competition to out-lavish their palaces and one-up each other, this is truly an historic national treasure and one can only view it as such. Frankly, I commend the owner for committing to the restoration, and making it as authentic as he possibly could with the art treasures he has populated it. The French are VERY protective of their patrimony, and I'm sure this chateau is subject to all kinds of strictures about use, maintenance, and possible sale. A foreigner will NEVER be able to own this property. There is a well-known incident where an important landmark was covertly sold to a Japanese consortium. The French government found out about it and, outraged, arrested the buyers at the airport [!], arrested the sellers, and confiscated the property. I do not see this video as a sales pitch, but more as a puff piece designed to draw interest, and lure visitors to a living museum. IMHO, any outrage about use, decor, or whatever, is completely misplaced, for it needs to be viewed in the context of the time it was erected.

@jamielancaster01 I meant around 2m ,There are claims that Jacques Garcia acquired the Château du Champ-de-Bataille under unique circumstances. Some reports suggest that the property was in a state of significant disrepair and might have been acquired for a symbolic price, potentially even as low as 1 franc, under the condition that he would restore and preserve it. This type of arrangement is not uncommon for historically significant properties in France that require extensive renovation and maintenance.

Mr. Haddad. What you fail to understand is some people aren't looking for a "wow factor" for their home. Some of us don't care at all what our "friends" think of our home. Views and spacious grounds aren't everything. In fact, they contribute very little. You are from a culture where "wow factor" still has impact. I am not. I am far more attracted to genuine happiness in a home, and that has nothing to do with square footage, number of bathrooms, or lack of hallways. We who have it need not attempt to impress. That's for the arriviste.

But for this one, I am litterally shocked that they are even talking about selling it like any mansion. This chateau is a masterpiece and shouldn't even be on a market for sale. This chateau is an amazing piece of history and has been one of the most beautiful for decades. France should keep continue to pay to help for the maintenance. This is another proof that France is really in a spiral of decline.

About subdivising the land, this is a heritage site. Some properties still have most of their land attached to it nowadays because you can't sell parts of the land. Also, there is around 40 000 castles in France. Not all as big as this one, and some are ruins. But, there is always hundreds of castle for sale at anytime. It is worth searching on French websites for them, really interesting offers out there. If you compare this one to others currently for sale, it is probably worth more in the 30/40 millions euros if sold with everything. There is many more interesting castles for sale in the 1 to 10 millions pricerange. And don't for get, the guy owning it is an interior designer. When they are talking about ''priceless'' art and stuff like that, it is all stuff he managed to afford.

It's already like a museum. As a French person living in Normandy, I have visited this property a few times. You can tour the garden and some parts of the chateau (many chateau owners offer this to generate money for renovation etc). You can rent the central courtyard for concerts and other events. French rules for historical monuments are very strict, so I'm not sure if you can sell the land for building purposes. This place is not really "livable" but it's a wonderful experience to visit in real life. You could visit it three times and still not cover half of what there is to discover. The rooms he toured are not meant for living nowadays; they are typically the ones visitors see after buying a ticket. For the cost of the renovation a huge part is taking care by the state, as it's a "monument historique" (the fact that it's a "monument historique" mean that you can't do anything). 47:43 no he does not use those rooms as a every day rooms, those are made for staging for visitors
