Take 5 in France – an Englishman's home is his castle
Whilst most of us could only ever imagine living in a castle, this particular dream can be made a reality in France. The properties here range from 689,000 Euros, so it’s certainly not beyond the bounds of possibility. If your budget can’t quite stretch to that, you could even consider investing with friends and family. What’s more, the business potential of a renovated chateau in France can be enormous, with uses from banquets, parties, and weddings through to festivals and luxury accommodation. If you are not used to managing a large property, make sure you do your research first and try not to underestimate the amount of time and money large properties can take up.
