Most of us are limited to a few days in a castle hotel or Airbnb castle to satisfy our desire to serve as king. Want to own your own castle instead of renting one? That dream can be yours for the small sum of just over $5.1 million. The original Ackergill Tower is believed to date back to 1475, with significant expansion in the mid-19th century and ultimately a restoration in the 1980s. The current owners acquired the property almost a decade ago to continue improvements, restorations and expansions with additional accommodations in the stables and an event facility. As it stands now, the 32-bedroom castle with an enormous event space is situated on 30 acres with shooting and fishing rights to an adjoining 3,000 acres. The property also includes a pub, cottages, Europe’s largest treehouse, houses, boathouse, a walled garden, parks, formal lawns and, quite literally, everything you could ever hope to find in a castle of your own you get to call home.
