Zillow Home of the Week: 13th Century Castle Look-Alike for Sale
Ten miles past the Oregon border into Washington state, a large stone castle rises up above the White Salmon river. With a stone tower and curved windows, the building looks straight out of the Middle Ages. However this castle, listed on the White Salmon real estate market , is only 23 years old.
This week’s home: “ The Castle ”
For sale: $1.2 million
Location: White Salmon, WA (ten miles outside Hood River, OR)
Year built: 1988
Details: 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 5,616 square feet, 26-acre plot
The Story Behind It:
What’s on your bucket list? Scuba dive, backpack through Europe? How about owning a Gothic castle?
The previous owner of this stone estate wanted to live in a castle before he died, explains listing agent Maui Meyer .
“It’s one of the few things he wanted to do,” Meyer said. The home is now listed as an estate sale; apparently the owner’s family didn’t have that same desire.
The home was built in 1988 on a 26-acre parcel alongside the White Salmon River. The urban legend goes that the builder wanted a home that mirrored the European castle he and his wife were married in.
“Whether that’s true or not, I don’t know, but I choose to believe it,” said Meyer.
“The Castle” is a local legend in the White Salmon area. Only 14 minutes from downtown, people are constantly driving past and taking photos.
The home was constructed using two full CMUs — concrete masonry units — an exterior CMU wall and an interior CMU wall that keeps the home energy efficient: cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Built in a typical 13th-century Gothic-castle style, the house features a full dining hall, lookout tower and a detached kitchen, where several hundred years ago, the servants would have tended roasting meat on a spit.

A house is a capital asset, and the cash flow from owning that asset is in the form of rent you do not have to pay. One of the clearest signs that we were in a housing bubble was that the prices of houses got way out for line with rental prices.
