A stunning French castle recently hit the market — with a high listing price that few can afford. But its history of nearly 1,000 years may interest many more. 

Le Château de la Verdière, located in the southeastern region of Provence, boasts 100 rooms, plus courtyards, terraces, olive groves and even a helipad.

The rooms include historic salons, reception rooms, vaulted medieval rooms and a 13th-century Romanesque church, among other features. The location has 53,820 square feet of living space and nearly 40 acres of land.

LONG-LOST ANCIENT VILLAGE WITH MYSTERIOUS PAST UNEARTHED AMID WIND FARM DIG: 'EXCITING DISCOVERY'

Alain Lebreton, owner of Provence Verte Sotheby's International Realty, told Fox News Digital the property was restored "meticulous[ly]" between 2003 and 2010.

The restoration involved bringing back 18th-century elements of the property back to life, including its gypseries.

Gypseries, or Provençal ornamental plasterwork, are native to the region.

"A gypserie is an interior decoration molded and sculpted from gypsum which, once fired and ground, becomes plaster powder mixed with water and hardens in the air, similar to staff," said Lebreton. "The term and technique are used almost exclusively in Provence."

He added, "Gypseries were common from the Middle Ages until the French Revolution, particularly on fireplace mantels, in homes, châteaux, townhouses, as well as for open work partitions or ceiling coves."

Le Château de la Verdière served as a military fortress overseeing the road linking Arles to Castellane in the 10th century. 

A tower was added in the 13th century, and between 1437 and 1613 the château expanded further, though much of its present appearance and interior decoration dates to the 18th century.

Lebreton noted that "all of these original elements are still remarkably well-preserved."

He also said that "the château is now ready to welcome a new owner who will fully appreciate the enormous potential of this magical property."

"The estate enjoys absolute privacy and tranquility, yet Saint-Tropez is only a 10-minute helicopter ride away, and Paris is accessible in just 3 hours by TGV [high-speed rail] from Aix-en-Provence."

But interested buyers will need an impressive portfolio, because the property is listed for 15 million euros, or $17.7 million U.S. dollars.

For those skeptical of the price, Lebreton described the property as "an exceptional rarity."
