A gorgeous French Chateau located in the hills above the French Riviera has been ordered to be demolished after a 15-year court battle over the property finally came to an end. Patrick Diter bought a rundown 2,000-square-foot home on a huge parcel of land and started to expand on it. Chateau Diter, as he calls it, had been abandoned for years and regularly squatted in before he bought it. When Diter bought the property, a permit was obtained to put a small expansion onto the house. The problem is, Diter took it much further than that and over four years, the ramshackle 2,000-square-foot house grew to 32,000 square feet. Diter also put in a pool, a lake, heliports – everything you could possibly want or wish for in a property. There was only one problem – he never got the right permit for all those additions.

Schitt’s Creek has been put on sale for $14.98million.
The lavish property, which served as the original home of the Rose family before they lost all of their money, is based in Toronto, Canada.
The mansion, inspired by the design of a French Chateau, was initially put on sale in 2018 for $21.78million (£15.79million) in 2018, but has been re-listed recently at a new, lower price.
