South Carolina Castle Home Includes Gargoyles, Sword In Stone, Tower
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.
