The cost of the most expensive house in the world is Rs 3,775 crore in France

According to Property Global, a property outside of Paris that was once owned by the King of Morocco and a member of the Rothschild family is being offered for an incredible $425 million (Rs 3,775 crore).

Ignace Meuwissen, a luxury real estate consultant and co-founder of Whisper Auctions, which specializes in over-the-counter transactions of luxury properties, claims that the Chateau d’Armainvilliers, which is located about 30 miles east of the Eiffel Tower, is among the most expensive houses in the world because of its nine-figure price. He is in charge of selling the château.

According to a short history of the structure in the Rothschild archives, the Chateau d’Armainvilliers, which occupies over 2,500 acres of land, has a lengthy history. It started as a medieval castle in the 1100s and was subsequently substantially destroyed during the French Revolution. Among the notable owners were Edmond de Rothschild, who rebuilt the château and acquired more property, and the aristocratic Rochefoucauld Doudeauville family. According to the family records, the Rothschilds were the ones who built a large portion of the huge home’s present facade, including “the steep roofs and half-timbering on the upper floors, which bear a certain resemblance to the English cottage style.”

Meuwissen claims that in the 1980s, the Rothschilds sold Morocco’s King Hassan II Chateau d’Armainvilliers. According to Meuwissen, the property last changed hands in 2008 when King Hassan II’s son acquired it after his death in 1999 and sold it for $200 million (Rs 16,70,69,60,000).

Meuwissen said via email that “a Middle Eastern owner purchased the property but never used it.” It was impossible for Mansion Global to identify the owner.

The three stories of the 100-room château have three elevators, five salons, seventeen themed bedroom suites, and an ultramodern kitchen. The property has 36 distinct park structures, a hair salon, a hammam, private parking, stables for fifty horses, and staff quarters. The Moroccan interiors of the chateau are still mostly intact, as photos demonstrate. Meuwissen said, “It’s likely that the property will be sold behind the scenes,” with the intention of distributing it via his network. He said, “The majority of the homes we sell are whisper sales; the owners often change secretly.

He said that “some potential clients, including one from Eastern Europe, three from Asia, and one from Mongolia, have already expressed their interest.” Meuwissen said, “The property stands out for its size and development potential.” On land that is about three times the size of the well-known Central Park in New York City, there is potential for the construction of a golf course, residences, apartments, and even commercial centers.
