Dock and Castle Exterior
Dock, lakefront views, big, grassy lawn...all the outdoor boxes are checked! The house backs up to the water with 350 feet of pretty shoreline all to itself.
Waterfront Castle Exterior on Lake
Dreaming of a castle all your own? This home delivers in a big way. The amazing Kansas City residence was modeled after Ireland's Ashford Castle and features centuries-old details throughout its architecture.
Castle Mansion Overview With Pink Trees
Five bedrooms and seven full bathrooms pamper residents in royal style. The castle, er, home also has over 15,000 square feet of living space!
Castle Home Exterior and Driveway
Gorgeous flowering trees are a bright spot of color at the home's front entrance. And the stone driveway is as impressive as the rest of the estate!
Victorian Foyer With Stone Stairs
It's easy to feel like you're stepping back in time upon walking into the home. Arched doorways, walls made with 200-year-old stone and ornate wrought-iron railings are part of the foyer's elegant display. Don't feel like taking the stairs? There's also an elevator!
Foyer With Stone Walls
Stone walls, seen here in the foyer, were constructed from hammered stone in an English Ashlar pattern.
Victorian Stairs With Stone Wall
It wouldn't be surprising to find a suit of armor at the bottom of this vast staircase. The bannister is so pretty with its polished wood and wrought iron curls.
Victorian Living Room With Exposed Beams
Host grand fetes—or just relax with friends and family—around the living room's noble 200-year-old fireplace with its hand-carved mantle.
Victorian Living Room With Red Armchairs
The living room is full of handsome woodwork, from the wall's dark paneling to the heavy exposed beams. Floors are hand-scraped oak.
Victorian Kitchen With Leather Barstools
Look up for the bright spot in the home's wood-paneled chef kitchen. A tray ceiling adds height and pattern, wallpapered in a gold print. And the large stainless steel range hood acts as another visual anchor.
Victorian Kitchen With Tray Ceiling
The kitchen is ready to handle the most magnificent feasts with its double-sized refrigerator, huge island and vast range hood. The dark wood paneling is lightened by touches like the glass-front china cabinet.
Victorian Chef Kitchen With Tray Ceiling
The kitchen is integrated with dark-stained paneling matching the appliances to the cabinets. Over the island, a gold wallpapered tray ceiling is a luxe pop of pattern.
Observatory With Orange Curtains
With lake views like this house has, an observatory is certainly in order. Its decor is definitely castle worthy, with curved windows trimmed in orange curtains and heavy wood doors.
Victorian Dining Room With Mural
The dining room is especially unique with its rounded walls, floor-to-ceiling custom mural and stained glass windows original to the home.
Victorian Sun Room With Ceiling Mural
This magical sunroom has jewel-toned stained glass windows all around it and a sky mural covering the ceiling.
Victorian Dining Room With Wallpapered Ceiling
This dining room is full of fairy-tale charm. Gold-and-green wallpaper is a pretty visual surprise on the ceiling. And one almost expects the three little pigs to open the wood-and-wrought iron doors.
Red Victorian Bedroom With Canopy Bed
Queen Victoria would certainly feel comfortable in this memorable bedroom with its canopy bed cloaked in regal red fabric. The room is one of five total bedrooms in the house.
Victorian Spa Bathroom With Stained Glass Window
This bathroom (the home has 7 full baths and 3 half ones) gets cathedral-style elegance from its large, arched stained glass window. The inset soaking tub has a wide, surrounding shelf with plenty of room for candles and toiletries.
Yellow Victorian Bedroom With Chaise
Another bedroom, another handsome canopy bed...this one with emerald green curtains. In addition to its five bedrooms, the house also has an exercise room, home office, game room and an elevator to make it easy to get around.
Library With Built-in Desk
Floor-to-ceiling bookshelves line the back wall of this library, a cozy retreat for bookworms or anyone in need of a little quiet work or reading time. The front of the room has a built-in desk looking out big windows.
Garden Room With Flagstone Floor
Gardeners will delight over this big utility room with a sink, lots of storage for pots and planters, bins for tools and plenty of work space.
Stone Patio With Arched Openings
Off the home's lower level, a big covered stone patio stays wonderfully cool even on the hottest summer days. Wide arches and columns frame in the water view.
Waterfront Patio With Rounded Chairs
This elevated stone patio looks out over the lake, a pretty place for outdoor meals or gatherings.
Waterfront Patio With Stone Fire Pit
Right at the property's edge, a patio, fire pit and walkway have the very best water views. Continuing the castle aesthetic, the border lining the estate's 3 lots is made up of mini square columns, similar to what would be found along a castle's walls.
Castle Rear Exterior and Lawn
The home's lower floor gives way to a sweeping lawn that leads down to a lake. Other outdoor amenities include tennis courts and a dock.
