Who else went from watching luxury house tours most of the time to now just watching Arvin? You gave a lot of people a new perspective.
thanks guys ... i really appreciate all the support
Arvin give the makers credit for making the videos that he can critique form his armchair! 😂 ❤ 🎉
Same for me!
He's the only one who's honest and he's not afraid to tell it like it is. The other guys are all about fluff and hype, and it makes sense bc they're trying to advertise/sell the properties, just like your typical broker. They probably wouldnt get much work if they were actually honest about the deficiencies of the properties.
For real, I just watch Arvin now.
Thanks Arvin, I almost pay for this property in cash but after seeing this video I’ll decided to go back to my underground Ratatouille studio in NYC instead
Imagine the mummies speaking to you at night and you need GPS to run out from your own house while holding a Napoleon light pole
ya lets wait for something better to come on the market
Who spends half of their life building one house lol
😭😭😭😭
@@techzone6414 A lot of families, actually.
Since watching Arvins channel, I have not lost any money on buying a mansion. Thanks Arvin!
thats what im here for
Community service!
The sale story is true. the land + house has some other deeper Occult meaning
So how much would it cost
erik shoutout to you for responding to these vids, you guys should seriously collab - would be awesome
You should’ve never agreed to do a video about a crap property. But hey .. what gets the views right 🥴
If a property like this isn’t owned by a National Trust, then the movie set idea is good. I think it should be a tourist destination and it’s like the best wedding/event venue ever created.
Many countries NTs use their sites for films and tv. It helps offset the cost of maintaining the estates. At least this is my experience working for NT in the UK and whose sites were film locations.
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.
I agree. This is a historical property. It may be a money sink, but you're keeping a piece of history.
Did I mention I live nearby as well
Im not french, not even european, and i was utterly offended at the mere suggestion of subdividing. Only an uncultured swine...
@user-cl8dx7iy4o You are absolutely correct and I completely agree with you. Except I am sorry to say In my comment to Arvin I said he was vulgar and his comments were something a cheap tourist would say while touring the grounds eating McDonalds. You were much kinder to him than I so I tip my hat to you a better gentleman or lady than I.
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.
Lol Arvin is so American, it cracks me up. "Sub-divide the lots and build single family houses" lol... Not sure that's allowed on a palace that pre-dated the freaking Versailles.
PS: and it was very fashionable for rich Europeans to collect mummies back in the days.
That was kind of my reaction as well. Do what you want w/ the facilities, rent them out or whatever...but KEEP THE LAND
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.
I'm a US citizen and that was crazy to me too haha
I get your point, but mummies as decor needs to go
Most mummies no longer exist because they were eaten.
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.
Thanks this was great
This dude was smart.
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. 😁
Most valuable comment! Thank you for the details - it makes much more sense now
Best comment indeed!
thank you so much for all this information.. i really appreciate it
"ThaT's a human remain. You can't have it as a decor piece" cracked me up lol
I would rent it out for go-karts. Can’t go wrong with go-karts 🏎️
Love it
You forgot about laser tag
And paintball
Looks like pig farming land to me
@@DisgustedAsmon I bet Arvin would walk the grounds of this place hoping to get a little whiff of what those piggies are fresh gassing out of those exhausts! Pig shit farm heaven and a smell to boot!
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.
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.).
It doesn’t feel like a home, this is more like a museum.
i agree
I think it should be open to the public it's too historic
Yes. I could see an owner being so afraid to touch anything, especially if he had children, that the entire property would be sequestered and the billionaire owner living in a restricted area. And trembling the entire time about all the valuables. A friend of mine has such an elaborate dining room with exquisite furniture that nobody is allowed in the room including the owner and his family. They eat in the kitchen! I thought: why even have it if you are afraid to use it? I could see this so well in a property like this.
It is, most of the rooms we can see are intended for the public
It is a museum. You can visit
The first ten seconds of the video consists of the most unlikely words I’d hear from a real estate video and I’m totally here for it lmao 😂😂
i spend a lot of time telling my clients not to purchase a property
Instead of renting it they should open it to the public & charge admission as they do with the castles in England.
According to another poster they already do.
Hi Arvin, l found your channel today and have got NOTHING done!!!! Love yr honesty & knowledge. For those who think you're just critiquing are missing the whole point of what you're doing, you are trying to help people from making huge financial mistakes. Cheers from Gold Coast Australia 🇦🇺
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.
With this video Arvin just shows that he he usually deals with "lower" echelons of wealth. There are so many ultra wealthy people around the globe that have muliti billions and for them maintenance of this place would be penuts. Also idea of "dividing the lots" just show how little contact with truly rich people he has. Person buying this place, has no need for "dividing lots" and is not buying place like this for "investment"
@@dragoaus okay but all of those people build their homes from scratch like with ira rennert. Sure the house costs as much as 500 million to build but it is EXACTLY what he wants. Also just because someone has billions does not mean they would spend it on this cheap cheap cheap LOOKING HOME. Other than size and antiques, its crap.
@@user-oh9ou8zo5o Again, person who can afford place like this, has several residences and can afford "EXACTLY what he wants" several times over. When you enter this range of wealth, money is not an issue. Also this chateau is anything but "cheap cheap cheap LOOKING" this historical residence, that was designed by Louis le Vau, the architect behind Versailles. Current owner bought it for pennies in 1992 and restored it to its former glory.
@@dragoaus Stupid comment, you are living in a fantasy world and think like a poor person. Even if you are a billionaire you want to get your money's worth for 1000 MILLION DOLLARS. Because that is what a billion is. Even jeff bezos cant spend a billion without feeling it.
I got a kick out of you doing a reaction to the lavish Chateau du Champ-de-Bataille and eerie Masonic grotto. Therefore, I was surprised to read a few comments grumbling about you covering a property that only a handful of billionaires can afford, as if the $100-250M properties you review are within most of your viewers' price range!
As a new subscriber who binged on your videos, I dig your recent format.
Looks like last year the owner (Jacques Garcia) sold some of the best furniture and paintings in the house and raised $8.7 million. Proceeds from the sale will fund a foundation Garcia is creating to preserve the estate.
thanks for letting me know pal
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.
I'm telling you that guy is printing his own money. There's no way he's buying a piece of art every day, and not just any art but authentic art like that dead body😂
This has become my new favourite channel.
thank you sir
imagine being the camera guy and hitting anything with all the camera gear you have to carry
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?
I guess at least this one has the wow factor 😂
This video was really entertaining hands up! For entertainment companies, donating to the state as a museum is all they can do with it. The place is weird. When Erik went downstairs through that creepy dead animal area I thought he would find Dracula's coffin lol. he was basically running out of that area lol
thank you for always supporting the channel
Nice!!! I was wondering if you were going to review this property! This is going to be a great review!
This video made me laugh sooo hard, made my day 😂😂😂
that makes me happy
I appreciate the balance and practicality you bring to these programs. I wonder if you could critique some of the Grand Design homes and Grand Design Australia. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts
The owner is a 333333333 degree free mason😂😂😂
for sure
he actually is. in freemasonry back in the older days some architects were highly revered for shaping nature to their will in accordance with holy geometry. The house also had numerous freemason imagery in it.
I'm getting "Devils Advocate" vibes from this owner
@@ant208as Arvin said: eyes wide shut.
The guy has a mummy in his library/art gallery. Who has a corpse in their house and seen it as 'art piece'? And that man made cave, screaming 'sacrifice ritual' vibe. The oh hell nah meters is up on the roof.
Fantastic channel. Congratulations! Finally, someone who speaks the truth about many of those MANSIONs with entirely subjective value that do not align with reality. Sending a big hug from Brazil.
thank you sir
Arvin, I'm French, I love your videos but to create a gated community or anything like that can't work. This place is in the middle of nowhere and the land cost anything without the Château. The only value of this propriety come from the fact it's a piece of French history and it should stay like that. Also Jacques Garcia is wealthy because of his real estate investment in France.
Mon dieu qu’est-ce que j’ai ris avec cette vidéo 😂😂😂
Il est excellent pour vendre des maisons au US mais là ça lui passe complètement au-dessus de la tête !
Surtout que le château n’est pas à vendre, c’est seulement ouvert à la location, mais j’ai tellement ris que cela n’a même pas d’importance 😂😂😂😂😂
@@RenBraziloui il parle d’un marché qu’il connaît pas donc il raconte n’importe quoi. Il est bien meilleur aux US effectivement 🤣
thanks for letting me know
at least you cant complain about the private driveway here😅
Hahahahaha no you can’t
🤣
So glad I found your channel. It takes a lot for me to get the WOW factor. (Like the OSU signal) but this sure did! I HATE the dead animal part I must say. Thank you for posting this!!
Yeah thinking about buying this just for a vacation home.
Insane. Absolute masterpiece.
Jacques Gonzales😂 I lost it
I worked for a week at Wilton House. The family estate of a English Earl. This house is of a similar style, and contents. This house is even bigger. You've got no idea of the upkeep and full time staff required for these properties.
He may have tenants farming etc on the 300 acre estate. Wilton House estate is 16 Square miles, there's 5 or 6 farms on much of the estate.
cool man
This house reminds me of the game Resident Evil.
It’s so refreshing seeing your video reactions!! We’re entering a new era of seeing mega mansions. Thank you 🤍
My pleasure!
I love it. I agree with you on most points. I’m a big fan of Enes Yilmazar as well.
Excellent landscaping.
Arvin here not only reviewing mansions but exposing freemasons and the illuminati. Great videos!
yeah... this home was my intro into that world. The symbolism was inescapable.
"exposing Masons and the illuminati." Lol.......I must have missed the knights templar crosses and the Bavarian overthrow of French royalty, in that museum.
@@erikvanconover man! don't even think of going into that world, normal life is complicated as it is, i hope you don't have nightmares anymore
The best channel on youtube by far.
thank you sir
The property is Magnificent!... i probably would of Chosen a different American REPRESENTATIVE. He did nothing but point out the Dark and Negative of this Property.
im not a representative of anyone sir... I'm a critique
@ArvinHaddadOfficial I was not referring to you my friend. 🎉
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.
Man came in clutch. Name also checks out.
I aspire to be rich enough someday to sucker the government into paying for my own development of a billion dollar estate with all the priceless artwork included. What a joke.
Big fan of your videos I enjoy watching, I wonder what the maintenance on this property is per month ? lol 🤣, I’m struggling with 1 acre trying to keep the weeds out 😅
The commentary on the bush benches 😂😂😂
heheh
Love what you doing my brother can you do some more nyc reviews maybe some modern penthouses
i have one in edit
15:32 yeah, this would be like building The One on the Camp David lot
Now just imagine if this was on the water with an ocean view 😍
The first thing I would do before I moved in would be to replace everything that would remind me of a dead animal. If I could afford the house I could afford to do that. Regarding filming, the studios can build that place from scratch for cheaper than that place would have to charge. Studios would have to pay the insurance in case they damaged something...oh my goodness! How do we know some of that stuff isn't fake? Erik is so tall and some areas are tiny, he had to have a little claustrophobia. Was that Erik's wife with him? I get it now...Erik did this tour so he could write off his trip! 🤣😂Smart, Erik! Great job, Arvin! Thanks for sharing.
Hey Arvin, awesome video man! You should do a video for the Home Alone house now that they have renovated it, it's on sell for 5.5 million
its on the list ...thanks
very entertaining and insightful commentary Arvin!
thanks
Good thing I watched this before almost purchasing this property. I had the finger on the trigger 😅
vids are so good
This is giving a retired arms dealer residence feeling or Spectre headquarters. I do agree with the movie filming location idea.
Renters = Blood sacrifices!!!
Reminds me of the movie "Ready or Not"
Arvin. At 12,08 (about) he said 45 acres, NOT hectares.
You're amazing, thank you
36:28 my favorite part of this video 😂😂 your so funny lol
he is not good with numbers
Love your channel. Thank you.
You are so welcome! Thanks for the support
This Château is a monument historique. Meaning, the government would have funded a good portion of the renovations. The downside is that it MUST open to the public for a certain time each year. That blows out any privacy and probably the filming aspect as well.
the garden is like from that game myst from the 90's. the whole experience in fact. they could make a myst movie here that would be incredible
I watched his video on the most expensive villa in Dubai and I am back, I am happy that I was not alone in thinking that keeping a mummy in the house is morally wrong.
An alternative to your subdivision idea would be to open the gardens to the public. Many National Trust properties in Britain are partially funded this way.
They are open to the public.
„these boxes are from Imperial Japan“ that means they where made some time between 660 BC and today, thank you for that information.
If he means the time after the Meiji restauration by „imperial japan“ it would mean they are at most 150 years old which would make them one of the newer objects there….
The rooms were divided like that in the chateau so after dinner women would retire to the lounge and the men would retire to the smoking room etc.
This would make a pretty dope museum I guess
Man I was about to put in an offer for this house guess the search continues 😂
The upkeep on the hedges and landscape alone must be astronomical. Not to be funny but I've seen much smaller estates run into 6 figures so I wouldn't be surprised if we're talking 7 figures a year just to maintain the landscaping for this place. That's insane.
It was told that there was 15 fulltime gardeners employed year round, and we are talking expensive gardeners here, it is a mimimum of 1 mil € a year at the very least.
@@bentalexranebundgaard4867 Agreed, the scale is incredible.
Jacques Garcia must have bought this for a steal in 92’. It had been abandoned for a couple hundred years.
saved me so much cash today, definatly gonna get your council before I buy a giant french mansion with my leftover money.
Don't forget to set an alarm when the Louvre or the chateau de Versailles is on the market!
God damn, that intro was brutal 😅😅
I'm really interested in the art collection he's amassed. I've managed historical homes in the UK and his collection - if authentic - is insane. If no one else has pointed it out though regarding insuring the art collection, it is definetely something he has done. Or at least can and should be done.
One very important thing no one talks about is air circulation. 1000% certainty that house has severe mold issues. My mother in law was a pack rat & had air circulation problems that caused mold. This house was built long before air circulation was known about…
That stuffy zoo & library have severe mold issues & those isolated narrow rooms in the towers probably have mold growing under the paint & carpets.
This guy would be paying for people to blow out each room daily
The commentary is hilarious, I'm laughing my ass off. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Keep doing these videos... People want to see the carnage of truth.
thank you
I just booked the closest cemetery to commemorate my wedding anniversary. Great idea Arvin
crazy no?
@@ArvinHaddadOfficial Jacques Garcia past is even crazier than the house
@@ipadasherdo say more!
4:55 I'm happy you pointed that out. I agree 100% with you. Its disrespect.
This is a great list property, in Europe they have special rights because of the history. So you can't do much change in the property
I’ve just checked the wiki page .
The parcs are listed you can’t even do what you would want.
Also Garca did not make that much in the exteriors.
The precedent owner was doing horses show, and there was a golf course
It's website shows it selling tickets and spaces for rent. Wonder how much it makes. The palace and ancillary buildings seem to take only a small part of the acreage so selling off the rest makes sense
This place reminds me of the Night at the Museum movie.
Isn't it interesting how most people have no idea what wealth actually is. Having a property that is bigger than some countries is what luxury means.
5:05 ~ Definitely.
Only thing I can see taking as inspiration for my money-is-no-object house is the bridge in the greenhouse; can you imagine how de-stressing it would be to walk across something that between your driveway and front door?
Not sure about French laws - but dealing with historic landmark type property in Europe in general is a nightmare. In Germany for example it would be next to impossible to develop anything like that without lots of special permits - you have to keep it original, especially but not only fassade elements. So you can't just change size of windows, and you can't just replace windows with same size modern windows - they have to made in the original style. This can put serious limitations on any development ... it's definitely not "it's my property, I can do what I want" type of deal. But France seems to be more flexible with regulations like that since a lot of the locations on that property are new.
But then again - if you are a serious contender to purchase something like this, knowing how to get "special permits" is probably how you got there ...
This house rendered Ken Combover nearly _speechless_
(let that sink in)
I get that a real estate agent is supposed to hype up a property, but Erik's performance is waaaay over the top. If I lived in this garish mansion I would honesty be worried about a "peasant" uprising.
You should make a video on the Evergreen Crystal Palace - that place is fascinating
I do think I would want a tour of the house maybe from a historian, art historian, historical property manager, etc. Just when he got to the part with the Chapel and was surprised it is the least surprising thing on the site. And the taxidermy is giving me historical naturalist vibes, which was totally a thing. Not just a 'dead zoo' wing.
I don't think they're selling it though. It looks more like publicity?
Arvin @ 5:00 you are hysterical 😅😅😅
“Park your money in case the Feds come after you” huh. My guy does more then Real Estate appraisals 😂
13:13 I was thinking, "Where are people supposed to sit?" and "Maybe that's moss I'm seeing - but then everyone's clothes will get awfully dirty" and finally "Is this an imitation amphitheater that can't actually be used as one?
I can't even imagine how to live in this place - it would be similar to moving with your family to a museum.
A house that was once a hospital... and has a mummy... and two temples (Greek and Indian?)... I feel like you're asking for Ghosts lol
I suppose if you can get 10 friends together on this you can do one of those comp loop games where you each build a house for "250" million and create 2 billion value out of 1 billion purchase.

I'm next door to the Spreckles Mansion and as a single unit it's entirely unsellable. You couldn't even sell it for 0 dollars and it's the largest home in San Francisco. But as a cut up job you might be able to get 50 million for it. I think same thing here.

Kinda like Chateau Elan in Georgia near Atlanta.
Which of your videos has the L.A. home with the similar type library that you mention in this video?
