With several of Pablo Picasso’s paintings having been sold for well over $100 million dollars,\u00a0it’s simply a steal to acquire a\u00a0piece from the world-renown artist\u00a0for under $10 million. It’s especially\u00a0a steal\u00a0when\u00a0several of the paintings by an artist responsible for some of the most coveted pieces in the art world can be purchased for less than\u00a0$10 million and\u00a0are\u00a0also accompanied by a French castle.<\/div>\n
\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
This is the case with a collection of works found in\u00a0the “exceptional historic castle” known as “Ch\u00e2teau de Castille.” Located\u00a0in a provence in Southern France,\u00a0Castille is currently on the market for the first time in more than 50 years for\u00a0$9,728,902<\/a>.<\/div>\n
\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
The\u00a08,611-square-foot\u00a0ch\u00e2teau, built sometime in\u00a0the 13th century, is situated on a lot with just under five acres of land. It boasts seven\u00a0bedrooms, eight bathrooms,\u00a0several kitchens, and\u00a0a couple of drawing and\u00a0dining rooms,\u00a0while a\u00a0park,\u00a0a staff house,\u00a0a formal knot garden,\u00a0a tree-lined driveway, and multiple\u00a0garden ornaments of a\u00a0historic nature are featured throughout the grounds.<\/div>\n
\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
There are also five “monumental” frescos\u2013\u2013classified\u00a0as \u201chistoric monuments” by the French State\u2013\u2013that had been installed by\u00a0Picasso, who had been a\u00a0frequent visitor of the castle, due to his friendship with\u00a0Douglas Cooper.\u00a0Cooper,\u00a0a\u00a0well-know art-collector and owner of one of the “most important 20th century art collections,” purchased the home in 1950.<\/div>\n

This property, with an interior decorated by world-renown interior designer Dick Dumas, is listed by Isabelle Clavie<\/a> of Sotheby\u2019s International Realty<\/a>.<\/div>\n
