In this episode, I finally get the keys to the French château I bought — a solo dreamer’s leap into restoration, risk, and reality. If you’ve ever dreamed of buying a château in France, this is where it gets real.

The dream was never' 'really' about the Prince. It was always the Château.
Ever since I was little, I’ve had a not-so-small obsession with Princess elegance, grandeur, and gowns (thank you, Disney). But alas, no royal blood, no trust fund, and no fairy godmother. So I did what any delusional dreamer would do: I went looking for my own Castle anyway.

In 2021 — fresh off a pandemic and decades of reinventions — I hit the road across France with a camera, a map, and a burning question: Could I actually buy a château? (Spoiler: yes, but also... it’s complicated.)

Fast forward to 2024. Just when I was ready to give up on ever finding one that wasn’t crumbling or unaffordable, Château de la Chevronnais found me. Love. At. First. Sight. But like any good love story, this one came with drama.

In this episode:
👑 Ben and I do the final walkthrough
👀 I discover some concerning surprises
🤯 I get pushback from the seller’s team
💪 I stand my ground and hold the line
🍾 And finally — the moment I’d imagined forever — I POP THE BOTTLE.
It wasn’t easy. It wasn’t smooth. But it was mine.

✨ You don’t need a prince to live your fairytale. Just WiFi, willpower, and maybe a little wine.

Now? The real work begins.
