The 14-bedroom French chateau that costs less than a Sydney apartment

Situated on 12 acres, the sprawling property is less than an hour from London by train

If you’ve ever dreamed of living in France, this stunning 18-century chateau ticks all the boxes – and with a reserve of $726,000 you could snap it up for less than the cost of an apartment in Sydney’s inner west.

With 14 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, Chateau Holtz is nestled in the North of France in the village of Éperlecques, and is a 55-minute commute to London via the Eurostar train.
