As if it wasn't cool enough to explore all the amazing castles themselves, their properties are usually basically works of art. I have to wonder how it would be to live in a residence like that for one's life. Super cool.

There’s a YouTube channel detailing someone who did exactly that - bought a French castle.
Apparently it’s both cheaper than you’d expect and way more annoying, too.
It’s not “standard house” prices but I suspect anyone who can afford the more expensive parts of the world could afford something similar, if smaller.
But it’s a ton of work even if you have the money.

Oh totally (thanks for the link!), there's also a TV series "Escape to the Chateau" about this, and a followup series "Escape to the Chateau DIY" where the protagonists of the earlier series help others get set up in their new cheateaux :)

there is a school of philosophy that proposes the idea that humans primary purpose is as landscape architects, which this man work lends credence to
