Many of us jokingly refer to how whimsical it might be to live in a castle. However, there's a South Carolina castle home that makes that dream a reality. The Walhalla "castle" carries a list price of $525,000 and sits on 3 acres. The State says the 3000-square-foot home comes complete with gargoyles, a gated entry, tower and a sword in stone. The home is lovingly referred to as a "storybook" home. But, a home with these unique features doesn't appeal to everyone. Therefore, after sitting on the market for a bit, sellers recently dropped the price. I'm all about castles. My favorite castle of all time is the Biltmore House in Asheville. I could see myself living there. LOL. And, who didn't watch Downton Abbey and imagine themselves there? On the other hand, castles typically require a staff to help with the upkeep. I'm guessing if you purchase this South Carolina castle home, the maintenance is up to you.
Regardless of your feelings about castles, this home listing promises to immediately "transport you to another world." Agents suggest uses for the home including an event space or short term rental. I did a little digging about castles in America. Of course, Biltmore always makes the list. It is after all the largest privately owned home in the United States. But, where are the other castles in the country? I found a list of 20. From Hearst Castle in California to Lyndhurst Mansion in New York and Bishop's Place in Texas. And, the list mentioned castles all over the country including Hawaii's Iolani Palace. The island's last two monarchs lived there from 1882 to 1893. Although I am intrigued, I think I'll hold out for the day Biltmore House goes on the market.
The 30 Most Expensive Homes For Sale In Charlotte North Carolina
A few months ago, we did a story on the most expensive homes on the market in Charlotte, and since then there’s been a lot of change in the market! So we thought it was time to give the list a refresh and show you what’s out there.
Of course homes at these price ranges don’t sell quite as quickly as others might, but there’s still a lot of new stuff to see here. From historic homes to ones with full football fields for lawns, they are worth the look. Plus, some of the homes that were on here before have changed prices.
There are 30 homes currently listed above $3,000,000 in Charlotte. We left out the ones without photos though, just to be clear. We are looking at homes with four or more bedrooms, three or more bathrooms, and lots of amenities. Some are full-blown mansions. One includes a glass elevator. With that being said, let’s take a look at the most expensive Charlotte homes currently on the market, as of June 21, 2022, below. In contrast, there were just 17 on the market in the price range back in April. All info is from Realtor.com.
