Why buy a palace across the pond when you can rent this $46M Bel-Air estate? With a ballroom, 12-car showroom, and a vintage soda fountain diner hidden in the basement, this Georgian-style estate is anything but ordinary.

Skilled stonemasons are hard to find, but they’re essential for a project like this—an ambitious restoration that will take up to a decade. The new owners are on a mission to bring back lost craftsmanship and rebuild history the right way.

Originally the estate of a local nobleman, the château dates back to 1650 and has been thoughtfully restored to preserve its French heritage.

The historic Castello di Santa Giuletta is nestled amidst the rolling hills and vineyards of the Oltrepò Pavese region in Lombardy, often referred to as the "Tuscany of the North."

This 15th century château combines medieval charm with refined living, set in the heart of the Hauts-de-France region, just over two hours from Charles de Gaulle Airport.

Kåseholm Castle seamlessly combines 17th-century history with Michelin-starred dining and global design influences from South Africa, Europe, and Asia.

Commanding a spectacular position overlooking the serene River Blackwater and framed by the majestic Knockmealdown mountains, this 216-acre estate offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Irish heritage.

With a listing price of $19.5 million and starting bids ranging from $7.5 million to $14 million, bidding for this exceptional estate opens on January 16 at 4:00 PM EST and closes on January 29, 2025, at 4:00 PM EST, offered through Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions.

Tucked away in the 7th arrondissement near Le Bon Marché, this 18th-century mansion feels more like a countryside retreat than a city residence, surrounded by two private gardens.

Built in 1896, this “private palace” boasts a 65-foot spire-topped tower, intricate woodwork, a grand central staircase, and preserved original features such as stucco, tiled stoves, and decorative moldings.
