An insane Gothic castle in Connecticut is still on sale for $45 million
This is Chrismark Castle in Woodstock, Connecticut. The brainchild of owner Christopher Mark, it took seven years to build.
The construction of the home cost $4.1 million. It has stone walls, towers, and even a moat.
The property was built on a 354-acre parcel of land. It is being sold with 75 of those acres as well as a lake called Lake Porter.
Mark kept exotic animals on the property, including a zebra, emus, and camels.
The home has three levels, a massive lower-level garage, and impressive Gothic architecture. Imagine trick-or-treating at this house for Halloween.
It's not exactly the most welcoming home in the neighborhood.
The interior of Chrismark Castle is just as impressive as the stone exterior. The doors were all custom-made to fit the space.
The wood floors were also custom built as well. Here is Mark's crest, welcoming guests into the home.
The wooden coffer ceiling was also custom built.
Overall, the castle has over 22,000 square feet of space, according to the real estate listing.
This is the kitchen area, which is 1,200 square feet and has a 180-degree view of Lake Porter.
The dining room is filled with eclectic furnishings and collectibles.
The master bedroom also has lots of windows with views of the grounds.
It has a full dressing room, fireplace, walk-in closet, and sitting area.
The master bathroom is filled with granite and has its own whirlpool.
Of the seven other guest bedrooms in the home, four have their own fireplace. They look like something you'd find in a castle.
In total, Chrismark Castle has 20 rooms, 12 fireplaces, a maids' room, library, pool, and massage rooms. Not to mention its own lake and a pretty awesome back story.
If you have the money, the castle is still on sale for $45 million.
