This pricey 2005 Castle House in Ranger, GA has been taken off the market. 4bds, 4ba, 9,069 sq ft, $2,571,500.
Tumblr media
The grand entrance with a double staircase.
Tumblr media
There's just something castle-wannabe about these modern castle builds. They gave it 3-pointed arch doorways and wide moldings, but there's something about the smooth walls. They seem like they should be stone.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The doorway opens to a dining room. Interesting ceiling.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I can't say that I like the kitchen. It has 2 islands, but there's something about the design that's "off." I think that it could've been so much nicer.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Up here, they have another living room and kitchen.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The primary bedroom is very large and has an interesting shape. What a dinky, pedestrian fireplace surround. It's not even a built-in.
Tumblr media
It has more than one room, so it's a large suite. There's a door to a terrace, and it has 2 big sinks that are unfortunately, on carpet.
Tumblr media
Huge shower is like a separate room. I don't know what the high door on the left is for.
Tumblr media
And, it also leads into this room. Very unusual.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even this secondary bedroom is a gigantic suite.
Tumblr media
Outdoors, they have a large pergola, patio, and pool.
Tumblr media
The outdoor kitchen is in this weird little area.
Tumblr media
Huge pre-fab barn on the property.
Tumblr media
There's a lot of land- 106 acres. This bridge needs some repair.
Tumblr media
It also has a lake on the property.

Μάνη,Πελοπόννησος
Η δομή των πύργων και των πυργόσπιτων της Μάνης επιβλήθηκε από την ανάγκη των κατοίκων να αμυνθούν απέναντι σε πειρατές και άλλους κατακτητές,Οι Δυτικοί περιηγητές σημείωναν τις αναλογίες τους με τους πύργους και τα κάστρα των φεουδαρχών της Μεσαιωνικής Ευρώπης, της Αγγλίας και της Σκωτίας.Ο Μιχαήλ Παλαιολόγος προσπάθησε το 1415 να περιορίσει το ύψος των πύργων και ο Βαυαρός αντιβασιλέας Μάουερ απαίτησε να γκρεμιστούν το 1834, αλλά και οι δύο απέτυχαν.Οι πύργοι της Μάνης αποτελούν ιδιότυπη και μοναδική στην Ελλάδα κατηγορία λαϊκών αρχιτεκτονικών έργων.Η ακριβής καταγωγή της μορφής τους δεν είναι βεβαιωμένη, αλλά η ομοιότητά τους προς αντίστοιχες μορφές που υπάρχουν στην Ιταλία, όπως στο Σαν Τζιμινιάνο, δικαιολογούν την πιθανότητα μιας τέτοιας επιρροής. Ως εξήγηση θα πρέπει να θεωρηθεί η μετάβαση Μανιατών εκεί και η παραμονή τους ως στρατιωτών, στο στρατό της Βενετίας ή άλλων Ιταλικών πόλεων.
Αλλά οπωσδήποτε, η ύπαρξή τους στη Μάνη είναι φανερό πως δικαιολογείται και από τα πράγματα, δηλαδή από την ανάγκη της απόκρουσης, των πειρατών, των Τούρκων και των άλλων εισβολέων, που μάταια επεχείρησαν να την καταλάβουν και από το ίδιο το κοινωνικό σύστημα που επικρατούσε στην περιοχή, τη διάκριση σε πατριές και τους εξοντωτικούς μεταξύ τους αγώνες.
Η σημασία του πύργου και η αξία της οικογένειας που τον κατείχε εξαρτιόταν από το ύψος του. Πολλές φορές ισχυρές οικογένειες δεν επέτρεπαν σε άλλες, λιγότερο σημαντικές, την ανέγερση ψηλού πύργου και άλλοτε επέβαλλαν το χαμήλωμα ή την κατεδάφισή του.

Mulder is charming because his jokes and jabs aren't self indulgent. He doesn't tease Scully for peer validation or to feed his ego, he does it to get a reaction from her.
I don't think his character was written to be funny, but he is funny to Scully. He's plenty attractive and gets enough attention to be obnoxious about it, but he isn't. He's an oxford graduate and could take this stance of intellectual superiority, but he doesn't.
He values Scully's opinion from day one. He listens, he checks in with her, he gages her reaction. And that's endlessly more appealing to see than an arrogant and self assured playboy male lead. He's not a romantic hero but he also is.

the more we see of harrenhal the funnier it is to me that house strong has produced three of the most normal and reasonable characters on this show, and the fourth is weird in ways that seemingly have nothing to do with having been raised in a haunted castle

Aegon being like "'we should've taken Harrenhal, WHY aren't we taking Harrenhal!?" and Larys cutting in and being like "girl please be serious my castle is so incredibly derelict and haunted you'd be insane to want to go anywhere NEAR it" was so incredibly funny.

How about an ancient 1892 castle house in Port Huron, MI? It has 6bds, 5ba, $300K. It does need some work, but it's livable and some of the work was already started.
Tumblr media
All stone, like a proper castle, and it has a nice entrance.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It has a large entrance hall, and they've stripped the floors. I don't think that the louvered pocket doors are original.
Tumblr media
In this room there's a curved stone fireplace and a leaded glass window.
Tumblr media
Here's another rounded room with a lovely brick fireplace.
Tumblr media
And, this one has great wainscoting, leaded glass windows, and a fireplace.
Tumblr media
Beautiful wood on the railings and stairs.
Tumblr media
Very large landing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There are 9 fireplaces in the house. The one in this room has been restored and the room looks finished, except for elec. outlet covers, etc.
Tumblr media
The rooms get a lot of light. This one has another fireplace.
Tumblr media
In this room it looks like they put up new wallboard and painted. The windows need frames, but the fireplace was restored, and it does have carpeting.
Tumblr media
This bath was renovated in the 70s. The blue sinks are cool, but it's in need of updating.
Tumblr media
The molded tub unit doesn't look too bad.
Tumblr media
The house has 4 levels.
Tumblr media
Up here, there's a faded red carpet. They did one of the walls in stone.
Tumblr media
This large room needs work. It has a door to the tower.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's so cool out here. I'm feeling Rapunzel vibes.
Tumblr media
Work has started on the kitchen. Looks like the floor is in. I wonder if they planned on keeping the old cabinets. Were do those stairs go? The kitchen looks big, though.
Tumblr media
One step down is this room. It's cute, whatever it is. Looks like they did the walls in here.
Tumblr media
Now, this is interesting- a 2 car garage with a loft.
