If Royal Wedding Gives You A Yen For A Castle, Check These Out

With the much-anticipated wedding of Britain’s Prince Harry to American actress Meghan Markle taking place this weekend, you may be dreaming about what it would be like to live like royalty. While most Americans will never “be royal,” they can live in castles that will make them feel like they are. A search on Patch’s real estate partner, realtor.com, revealed some that will make you want to put on a crown.

Living like royalty comes at a price. For example, a sprawling limestone castle in Evergreen, Colorado, modeled after the famous Châteauesque-style Biltmore mansion in Asheville, North Carolina, lists of $12,990,000.

The castle at 600 Chateau V Road just oozes luxury with soaring, 25-foot ceilings in the great room, dining room and kitchen turret and 26 chandeliers individually created to complement the castle’s design. It offers stunning views of the 14,000-foot peak of Mount Evans, and multiple balconies and stone decks invite you to linger as you savor one of Colorado’s most majestic peaks.
