JAKARTA - A historic palace, which is considered the largest in the Provence region, France, is sold for 18 million euros (Rp292,888,217,340).

From the 10th century, Chateau de la Verdiere was originally owned by one of the most important families in Provance. The building has been restored for the last 15 years, using traditional building methods.

With more than 5,000 square meters of the interaction space offered, this property has 120 rooms, including several ballrooms, dining rooms and libraries. There are 25 bedroom suites and three kitchens.

In the property area, there are 16 hectares of closed gardens, two swimming pools, room for propagating plants, equestrian arenas with Olympic sizes and helipads.

The views of this property include Sainte Victoire, Sainte Baume and Mont Faron, as well as Saint-Tropez and Cannes which can be achieved within 90 minutes of driving.

Interestingly, this property lies in the same Cote d'Azur region where George Clooney, Brad Pitt and George Lucas previously also had chataus.

This property is marketed by luxury real estate specialistGGel & Volkers.

"The magnificent match of Chateau de la Verdiere can be seen from afar," said Marie-Claire Sangouard, managing director ofGGel & Volkers at Cote d'Azur, reported The National News March 2.

"This is an architectural and historical gem that is one of the rarest even among fans."

"The owner of the future not only gets an important part of the history of Provencal, but also the most beautiful sight in this region. This property can be taken over, including its interior," he said.

This property has been in the hands of its current owners for the past 20 years, who, along with experts, are working to return it to its original splendor.

"At that time, the Castellane family built a medieval fort over a small city. The first expansion work was carried out in the 13th century and was eventually expanded to a magnificent castle in the 17th century by the famous French Forbin family," Sangouard said.

"Currently, this palace can hardly be surpassed in terms of classical beauty and has all the modern comforts that can be expected," he concluded.
