Our local chateau / landmark for sale

Belpech at St. Vincent de Varen is for sale. A 16 piece chateau with small grounds and another house in the grounds of 300sm. all with commanding views down along the valley of the Aveyron. When we came 12 years ago we often walked around the grounds admiring the derelict chateau, it was a stones throw from our then presbytere.
I was always led to believe there was nothing inside as it had been sacked by locals many years before. Looking at photos on an estate agents site, the salon certainly has its tremendous stone fireplace and floors and ceilings. I know that the outside has been cared for over the years.
The problem with the chateau is lack of grounds and privacy, which if you were paying nearly
700, 000 I think you would want. The owner in our mind was pretty foolish not buying a very close small ruin which was peanuts to buy. He waited for the price to be less than peanuts and the house was sold on to others. If I wanted to buy I would try and buy the very close property out, but these are only my views.
