This castle for sale in Oregon will make you gasp. Take a look and see why
A home that looks like it’s straight out of a fairy tale has landed on the real estate market in the lovely country landscape of West Linn, Oregon.
A visually stunning 10-bedroom, 13-bathroom castle that sits on 68 acres — and is listed for $6 million — “strikes an artful balance between historical grandeur and modern convenience,” the listing on Zillow.com notes.
And it’s just as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside.
“Completely custom-built, the home boasts a fusion of salvaged materials, local metalwork and antique elements sourced from global artisans, like French limestone floors and antique doors from Morocco and Germany,” the listing describes.
“Artistic custom pieces and singular spaces include a stunning floor-to-ceiling half-moon window in the entrance hall, a striking glass elevator, a spiral staircase boasting intricate ironwork, and circular turret rooms with French plaster walls and soaring domed ceilings.”
Other features of the 13,023-square-foot residence include:
Chef’s kitchen
Two primary suites
Rooftop balcony
Wine room
Guest house
Library
Media room
Veranda
The uniqueness of the home captured the attention of Zillow Gone Wild, a Facebook page and X (formerly Twitter) account that showcase interesting houses — including castles.
“Wow. Meticulous design. Nothing (chintzy) or garish about this one,” one person said on Facebook.
“As castles go it’s pretty livable,” another noted.
“Lost count of how many times I gasped. Love this curvaceous castle!” someone commented.
“Love the randomness. I’d be buying the weirdest stuff to go in this house,” one person said.
“This just skirts the line between ‘cool and interesting’ and ‘too much,’” another posted on X.
West Linn is a 10-mile drive south of downtown Portland.
