Last updated: April 18, 2024, 10:23 AM Indian Time. New Delhi, India. The castle was partially damaged during the French Revolution. Château d’Armainvilliers, located on nearly 2,500 acres, has a long and fascinating history that began with its function as a medieval fortress back in the 1100s. This mansion, located near Paris and previously owned by a member of the Rothschild family and later by the King of Morocco, is up for sale for an incredible $425 million (approximately 3.775 billion rupees), according to information from Mansion Global.

This price with nine zeros makes Château d'Armainvilliers, located about 30 miles east of the Eiffel Tower, one of the most expensive homes in the world. According to Ignas Mevisen, a luxury real estate consultant and co-founder of Whisper Auctions, who specializes in private sales of elite properties, he is acting as the selling agent for this château.

Château d'Armainvilliers, covering nearly 2,500 acres of land, has a rich history that dates back to when it was a fortress in the Middle Ages and suffered partial destruction during the French Revolution, according to brief records in the Rothschild archives.

Among its notable owners were the noble family Rochefoucauld-Doudeauville and Edmond de Rothschild, who rebuilt the castle and expanded the estate. The main part of the current exterior appearance of this magnificent house was created during the Rothschilds' ownership, including steep roofs and framework elements on the upper floors that somewhat resemble the English cottage style, as stated in the family archives.

According to Mevisen, the Rothschilds sold the chateau to King Hassan II of Morocco in the 1980s. It last changed hands in 2008, when after the death of King Hassan II in 1999, his son inherited the estate and sold it for 200 million dollars (approximately 16.7 billion rupees), according to Mevisen.

“The property was purchased by an owner from the Middle East, but it has never been used.”- he noted in his email. Mansion Global was unable to determine who the true owner is.

The chateau with 100 rooms has three floors and three elevators, five lounges, 17 themed bedrooms, and a modern kitchen. The property offers a wealth of amenities, including:

  • beauty salon
  • hammam
  • private parking
  • stables for 50 horses
  • apartments for service staff
  • 36 different parking structures

The photographs show that the characteristic Moroccan interiors of the castle are still largely preserved.

“Most likely, the object will be sold in a closed manner.”- noted Mevisen, who intends to pass on the information about the sale through his network of contacts.“Most of the properties we sell are transferred quietly; the owners usually change hands confidentially.”he added.

“Some potential buyers have already expressed interest, including one from Eastern Europe, three from Asia, and one from Mongolia,”- He said.“This property stands out for its size and potential for development.”Mavis believes that in the territory of France, which is almost three times larger than the famous Central Park in New York, golf courses, apartments, villas, and even shopping centers could be built.
