Touring a $117,000,000 ACTUAL CASTLE in South of France!

What's up everybody? It's Enes here and welcome to another episode. This week we're in the region of Provence here in south of France and about to tour this incredible estate right behind me also known as Château d'Estublon. Now the property is incredible it was built in the early 1800s and it was extensively remodeled for a whopping 80 million euros in 2016. The current value of this property is somewhere around 100 million euros which is about 117 million dollars and an interesting fact about the property is that it's not available for sale but it is available for short-term rentals starting from 100,000 euros per week. As always we will leave more information about the property and the property link down in the description of this video and before we start our tour I want to thank the listing agent Axel Ornel with John Taylor for giving us the honor to tour this amazing property and share it with all of you and now let's begin our tour. From the street level we have the gates opening up to this private 250 acre estate. Private driveway brings you up right here and look at the scenery for a second it's super private we have mature trees around us and the circular driveway with the landscaped area right in the center with the roses everything looks stunning and focusing on this side we have the estate. Now a little bit of information about the property it's built on a 250 hectare lot 50 hectares of it is vineyards and 200 hectares of it is olive trees in fact we have a restaurant right next door that serves some of their olive oils which Mikey and myself are really excited to try. Now I want to bring our focus to the house itself it was built in the early 1800s we have this stone facade pretty much throughout I love the French doors and windows that we're seeing throughout with the grid details we have arch windows on the first level this grand stone staircase that takes you up to the second floor of this property where we have kind of the grand or main entrance and another detail I want to mention is that we see these kind of French palace castle estates in the United States but they're kind of refabrication of what these homes look like this is the real deal this was built in the early 1800s and the boutique hotel company that owns this estate spent 80 million euros that's about probably like 90 million dollars to remodel and upgrade this entire property which is just fascinating overall it's a beautiful estate and I love that they preserved kind of the historic details but yet brought this estate to the 20th century. Now I'm gonna take this grand staircase meet you guys at the formal living room area. These French doors open up to this incredible seating area that serves as your formal living room I love this space it feels very regal and elegant here we got a gorgeous chandelier right in the center with a ceiling medallion wood paneling on the walls and the furniture throughout the property you will see a lot of these dark and velvet tones that creates a really nice contrast of course you have your marble fireplace and every single furniture is curated for each one of these rooms. Now I want to give a little bit of information about the home itself or the castle itself we got 10 bedrooms, nine bathrooms 1,500 square meters of interior space which is about 16,145 square foot a lot of bedrooms in this house and we're going to check them out throughout. Mikey I want to take everybody to this side first by the way look at the intricacy and the pattern of these hardwood floors throughout I love the depth of color here and even though this property was remodeled in 2016 they really preserved the architectural lines of this home. Now these double doors open up to the room next door which is another bedroom it's very spacious we have this bird wallpaper pretty much throughout the backside of the bed setup and each one of the bedrooms that we're going to see has a different kind of theme and kind of a name and I'll explain that later in the video. I honestly love this curved side where they tuck in the bed setup rooms in this amazing estate just feel so cozy and so elegant. I love the color palette another stunning chandelier right in the center we have a marble fireplace on the left tv on this side and these first two rooms are of course facing the front of the estate. Now I'm going to take everybody through this door Mikey because we have the bathroom for this room. Green marble on the floors we have mosaic tiles on the walls your clawfoot tub setup here with chrome fixtures you have your rain head above I love these curtain details something about them is very European and your crystal chandelier above and we have the vanity setup here with a beautiful chrome frame stone countertops just a great bathroom. Now I'm going to take everybody through this door and we have another entertainment or kind of like a lounging space here. This room is designed to be a cigar lounge this is where you sit down have a drink smoke your cigar by the marble fireplace and it also has in my opinion one of the coolest balconies of this estate. Let's go outside Mikey for a second. It's a cute little balcony facing the front but this is where you look at the entry of your estate restaurant is down below us such a great moment in this amazing estate. Now let's go back inside close this window and continue our tour. Of course we have the same hardwood floors also here but this time they have chevron pattern and going through here we come to the back hallway. The door on my right hand side opens up to the commercial access and a couple other rooms on this level and following here this door opens up to a powder room for this side of the home. We have two water closets and keep in mind it's designed to be a commercial property that's why we have two water closets vanity setup here and even these air dryers. I love these things I want to put some of those in my home. Who would design an old school home like this and put modern amenities like that and make it work? It's definitely a clever touch. Now this back hallway takes us to this incredible billiards room and this is without a doubt one of my favorite rooms in this estate. Look at the wood paneling here bookshelves intricate details on the floors we got a stunning chandelier right in the center you have a wallpaper on this side and this incredible billiard table. This room is stunning this room takes me back in time and just a such an amazing property and these double doors open up to that formal living room area that we toured earlier and continuing our tour we're actually at the landing of the second floor. Of course this property has an elevator as well and another chandelier and continuing on this side oh by the way a staircase goes down to the lower level as well as the third floor we're going to check out each one of those levels and continuing through here we have two bedrooms. First one starts here same hardwood floors king-size bed set up this room is actually facing the back of the property definitely spacious and around the corner we have a full bathroom with a vanity setup and a walk-in shower. Now let's get out and go back to the hallway that we were here earlier and this is the last bedroom on this level this one has the rose theme and without a doubt this is the most grand bedroom we have on this level. I love the king-size bed set up here with a custom headboard and you can see those rose patterns on the curtains here as well those two doors open up to the formal living room area so to give everybody a little bit of perspective these bedrooms are connected to each other but at the same time you can lock these doors and keep the bedrooms private and just come in from the hallways. We have a chandelier above and Mikey two bathrooms let's start with that one. Yeah on the way there I gotta say this bedroom even kind of smells like roses I think they did that on purpose. I'm glad you mentioned that each one of the rooms actually has a custom fragrance really on purpose well that makes sense how amazing is that yeah that's that's pretty cool and everything smells incredible here but once they told us that every room I walk in I'm like oh wow it smells totally different yeah amazing talking about attention to detail I mean this is it right exactly we have a double vanity setup here gorgeous marble walk-in shower with a stunning chrome fixture and going back out another detail I forgot to mention look at that marble gas fireplace looks stunning and

chrome fixtures that are polished perfectly I have the vanity setup behind me this is amazing all right everyone that's it for the second floor now let's take the stairs and check out the third floor all right everyone here we are at the third floor landing now before we continue our tour I want to talk about the layout of this property the top two floors mostly have bedrooms and on this level we actually have two cool rooms that we're going to see in a bit but the first floor of this property has a lot of formal and common areas including an English bar that I'm really excited to show all of you that English bar is stunning opens up to the backyard and again we're going to tour that level after the third floor now over here on my left hand side we have the elevator access and continuing our tour we have this hallway Mikey let's talk about the lighting here so lighting is automatic throughout and when you're not utilizing it it actually turns off and when you walk into this space it turns on automatically I wanted to point that out and this is where we have the first bedroom on this level facing the back of the property king-size bed set up we have coal lighting throughout the ceiling hardwood floors another cozy room and going through here we have the bathroom and the closet space for this room I'm going to start here we have a massive marble walk-in shower again with chrome fixtures your vanity set up here with beautiful chrome legs and around the corner we have a vanity set up with a water closet now let's get back out to the hallway that we were in earlier and continue our tour we've got a couple more bedrooms to see on this level and going back to that hallway right across on the other side we have the second bedroom this one has a seating area facing this gorgeous marble fireplace more of the darker tones in this room we have the king-size bed here and door in front of me opens up to a full bathroom with a club foot tub more of the darker tones and I know we haven't really showed the closet spaces in this estate yet and although they have this kind of rustic and traditional look with these hinges once you open them up they're all modern with the led lighting kind of like the closets that we see in Beverly Hills now Mikey let's take everybody here we have these double doors open up to another room this is the most spacious bedroom we have on

shower now Mikey can we take everybody here to these French windows that are already open to check out the incredible views I know it's really bright outside I hope everybody can see it that's your grand motor court off of the entry look at the views here incredibly private and I'm not surprised why people are renting this place for a week or two because it's such an amazing estate and once you

incredible we have this dark paint on the walls wall sconces veins coating and at the end of this hallway we have two bedrooms that are connected to each other facing the front of this estate that are very spacious and have their own bathroom now coming back here we have this door opening up to the screening room I love the darker tones that they used here again with the velvet carpet black chairs padded walls and we have actually a window behind me currently covered with this curtain and Mikey we gotta point up to the ceiling here look at that old beam I mean when I say this house was built in the early 1800s look at the beam they use that's your roof truss that's an original beam correct that's not for the looks that is the beam how amazing is that yeah I really like that and I like how kind of each room feels like it has its own identity you know wait till you see the beam at the gym it's even crazier we're gonna see that in a bit okay we have the projector here screen on this side Mikey I need you to come close here this looks like an exquisite piece of furniture right yeah oh that's cool it's a little bar I want one of these I have to buy one for our place best thing about it

everybody back to the hallway and check out the room next door which is the gym we have techno gym equipment throughout and look at that beam above us Mikey isn't that incredible I mean like you said like we've been seeing a lot of these like imitations and kind of French architecture in the U.S. but this is the real deal they're just not the same in the U.S. that's right so authentic and I don't want anybody to think that it's just a little room because you go through this door and you have your steam shower vanity set up all complementing your gym and that's pretty much it for the third floor now let's go downstairs and check out the first floor all right everyone here we are at the first floor we have the doors from the front of the property opening up to this nice seating area here again ceiling details beautiful chandelier ceiling medallions it's a nice cozy space that welcomes you into the property and I want to take everybody to the other side and of course we have ton of built-ins here and this door right here opens up to another seating area this room is super cool I love this stone groin ceiling detail that they have here looks very architectural and kind of timeless you have your chandelier right in the center ton of these built-ins on each side and massive fireplace with this chimney design and a stone mantle it just feels like I'm back in time in this room it's front facing and going through here we have this door opening up to the first formal dining room area this is another elegant moment in this house and the first floor of this property is a little bit more traditional then the two floors above we have the dining room table here and I love the plates and glasses and all the other details and accessories they have here and I was told that each day they actually put a totally different plates and color palettes so each day they kind of spice up the scene for you we have a chandelier above us this barreled ceiling detail also adds a lot of character to the space and those french doors open up to the back of the property where you can see the vineyards now the room next door is actually your second and even more grand formal dining room area you have natural stone floors throughout dining table for six gorgeous chandelier above with a ceiling medallion and of course you have another set of french doors opening up to the back patio now let's take everybody here we have a hallway that takes us to the landing of the first floor where we have the staircase coming down this is our elevator access and if you follow this hallway here we have a stone staircase that leads you to the lower level where we have an incredible wine cellar so I wanted to mention that now I want to go back to the seating area off of the entry and go

here and all these seating areas super cool Mikey let's point up to the ceiling beam ceiling details ceiling medallion gorgeous chandelier fireplace and I want to take everybody here door behind me

of olive trees and 50 hectares of vineyards and Mikey look at my backdrop pretty nice this is the part of the property yeah this is for some reason what I associate with these kinds of French uh estates as well yeah it's it's amazing it's so peaceful and quiet up here this is kind of like the backside patio off of those common areas that we saw earlier and going this way we have the pool area on my left hand side but first I want to talk about the tennis court they have completed the space a few months ago but this property also comes with this awesome grass tennis court and the estate is actually right behind me there you're surrounded with beautiful olive trees landscaping this is amazing and right next door we have something even cooler than this which is the gardens an estate this size comes with a lot of land and what better way to utilize this land than growing your own vegetables and fruits I mean we have tomatoes lettuce herbs fruits kind of everything you need here and Mikey I need you to turn around the other side if you go this way how cool is this walkway here where you have more of the vineyards this is amazing again when you have this much land you can do a lot with it and that's pretty much it for the gardens now let's go check out the pool area this is another incredible outdoor space that's part of this amazing estate pool area I love the grass sections
