Anyone want to buy a castle?

7 towers

Owing your own castle, priceless.

My only queston is where can I build a hello pad, and where does the help stay?

It should come with a Rolls Royce, it just wouldn't be proper to have anything else.

Needs some TLC, looks like another $15M, and probably $1m a year to run, maybe more...

Lastly thats not real a Lagoon, its more of a puddle. That place is screaming for some proper gardens, $5m.

Yeah I wonder how much it would cost to heat....$20k a month?

EDIT if I sold it at full price I would make $325,000 in commision! I think I'd take a few months off after that.

No that means it has 4 half baths. On the MLS when it has more then one half bath, each bath is assigned .1.

Its located somewhere in MA, I forget the town.

Too gaudy for me. It also looks like it's showing its 1887 build. Any idea who the previous owners are to make it worth $15 million?

It resembles a rail station of the era. Does it say the Architect?

I could get maybe twenty five or thirty luxury living units in that beast!

Does it have a good location?

YOU got the listing on it, Hattie?
