I have a friend from Sweden who is ok with paying crazy Swedish taxes because he actually likes living there and all his friend circle is there - which ends up making it all worth it for him to pay the sums he is paying.

Your friend is wise. If he perceives value in what he pays for, he has achieved fiscal happiness.
However, this also means that he has chosen to take the blue pill. (The one from the Matrix, that is)

Exactly. Well he was dating a single mother before I had to put some sense into him by taking him to a trip to Mykonos alone That only helped for a few months and was back to taking blue pill - figuratively and I guess literally with a Swedish single mom.

MILFs are not for everyone.
On another note, it seems that French castles today are for about everyone. Prices are ridiculous. There must be a good reason.

These are derelict buildings in bad locations.
In France, for example, for an asking price of 1.6m you get this 3000sqm castle with 26ha of land:

Yep but how much to revamp‍ and maintain it over the years? That alone could X fold the price.

Not much. Probably 200k to make it perfect, 50k to make it good.

These buildings are solid, when you buy high quality you don't really need to spend a fortune in maintenance.

And remember, living in peaceful 26ha in the countryside will save you big hospital bills later.

How do you stay out of French tax net by having a permanent house available to you there?
 
Need to account land tax that could be substantial‍ for that big size land depending on location and if construction is allowed.

If low⁠ land tax then you are in a middle of nowhere and you may die before⁤ reaching the next decent hospital.

Out of that, yes peace, calm and space are definitely⁣ priceless.
 
all that and...
not sure if this is the case in France but many countries⁣ "protect" valuable historical buildings by law.... which means you're not only limited in what you⁢ can do with your property but also obliged to keep it in certain condition

This is a right thing. You don't want to see a beautiful castle transformed into a minimalist monstrosity.
