The Jerusalem stone and bricks look pretty good & I love the unique towers ...but the interior looks like a lodge ...have you ever looked at the Bavarian fairytale GORGEOUS and whimsical interiors of Neuschwanstein Castle!! ??? Each room is unique and an artistic wonder!! Paintings, carvings, stained glass, artistic fixtures, etc., etc. ...to a standard only royals had access to at the time. The setting and the views are what is similar to Neuschwanstein ...minus the gorgeous lake in the middle of the Bavarian Alps. But this Bedford Castle's views are more expansive with wide-sweeping plains and forest that then lift up to the mountain ranges. Makes me think of "America The Beautiful" song!
@@mushfiqurrahman1107 This is basically a spanking brand new castle, with all the giant steel anti-Zombies doors, windows, helipads, underground tunnels, and observation towers you need, in the middle of nowhere... and the brick and wood work were modern and world class, too! It also has TONS of coals, in the basement, for emergency/Zombie infestation or nuclear events. The only thing that sucks, in terms of bad events that this castle won't save you from is the EXPLOSION of the mega Yellowstone volcano! Everything else, from hide and seek and Halloween on up, it's fantastic for both adults and children...
You grew up in that valley, built your dream home, literally you and your kids helped build it, you have several kids to leave it to, why sell it? Its like a family legacy.
pretty lonely tbh. If it's just you and your partner being empty nesters. Kids move away, they don't want to live in the middle of nowhere. Beautiful views, but also, very isolated.
@@jasone830 If I was their children I would see an amazing business opportunity. Weddings , bed and breakfast style hotel /hostel. To keep renovations costs to a minimum you turn the kids room with multiple bunks into a hostel style room that rents for a lower price since you never know who your roommates might be. You find a couple property managers who would rotate at something like each year, or 6month rotations same with the rest of the care team/staff. You could possibly workout a contract with a prestigious cooking school where it’s the senior graduation class fulfilling there advanced internship requirements.. rent the property for movie production.. it wouldn’t matter if this property was so isolated that parties would either have to fly in or hike up to it. This place could be constantly marking money year round even in the winter months. You could find a couple pilots with nice Helios that want to start there own business to partner with to fly people in and out and offer special tours for guests . Everyone is making money and you could be helping people shape and create their own career’s while having an experience that till now can only be found relocating to Europe
They built it but probably can't keep up with the property tax. If it's valued at $14 million they are paying more in property tax than most people's salaries for a year
Woah. The production quality/storytelling on this home is amazing. I was not expecting 9.5k subscribers, and you've earned yourself a subscriber. I wish you luck with the algorithim, god speed realtor man.
Yeah, but the 300 million dollar Malibu houses are located in such a good weather year around + very interesting community/people living around you in Malibu.
@@nataliep6385 Good weather but you could get that in a lot of other coastal areas + idk if the Malibu community is the most interesting or hospitable group of people you could be living nearby.
If you are a rich prepper and want to live like the mad king then this is your chance! I wish i could buy it, i've always wanted to build/buy and live in a castle. The scenery is as good as it gets on earth
I want to buy this castle! 🏰 it’s soo amazingly built! And beautiful! I’d definitely love raising my kids in that our 2nd daughter would love being a real princess haha the boy and the other 2 girls would love it too
Quite lovely, the imagery of Phil walking through the woods in a suit with a leather briefcase felt really out of place. I could never afford it, but whomever does get it I'm sure will love it!
Have you ever toured a real castle? It's actually really similar. Outside of maybe a large main hall, most castles have mostly small odd rooms and weird passeges. And usually don't make any sense, in terms of modern architecture. The person who designed this must have spent a lot of time touring historical castles and studying their designs.
As a european thats seen loads of real and old castles This is pretty fucking Cool the only thing is it looks a bit weird with all the rust on the Wall other then that i like it 👌🏻🏰
Honestly, this is the BEST modern building i have EVER seen. It does not look like it was designed by a buch of people with clashing personalities, but rather by someone who wants to tell a story, to make their dream a reality.
The exterior is _magical..._ like something out of a fairytale! The interior has BEAUTIFUL craftsmanship with quality materials! ...although I am REALLY not a fan of what they did with the children's bedrooms. I especially don't love the bed nooks. It would be an absolute NIGHTMARE maneuvering around in that tiny, cramped space while trying to change the bedding or sweep up the floor. I agree with the previous commenters about the production quality of this video. This is magnificent! I feel like I'm watching a show on HGTV. You don't normally get that level on a real estate channel. ❤️
All I can say is "wow." The craftsmanship is blowing my mind. It's like the best medieval castle somewhere in Europe. The price seems like a bargain. Wow!
I'm 90% sure that vault is the kind ATF demands for the storage of class III firearms. Aka, legally owned - ATF registered pre 1968 machine guns. I bet that dude has a nice collection
If my boomer dad built a castle... this is what it would look like. Nothing but 90s golden oak as far as the eye can see, and lots of dead things hanging on the walls.
Pity about the animal ornamentation decor outfitting, but think it looks a remarkable place that would be an amazing dream home. The story told about the family having crafted it.. wow! Thanks for the showing/telling 👍
It's sadly underwhelming especially at that price. It's more like a lodge with a few castlesque features. The views and property on the other hand are breathtaking. JMHO
I swear Neuschwanstein Castle just follows me everywhere. I keep seeing models, pictures, videos and I am in FLORIDA. Even disney's castle is based off of it.
It actually does have an elevator! We thought we’d come back to it but got caught up in the rest of the grounds/castle/etc. It’s right off the Great Room
Красота природы и местности поражает, конечно. Отделочные материалы, декор на высшем уровне. Невообразимо дорого и красиво. Бетон, медная кровля, дорогущие породы дерева, кирпич ручной формовки, толстенная сталь. Гигантские витражные окна Это просто кайф. Но омрачает очень сильно всё это наотвратительнейший проект замка, узкие неказистые комнатки и низкие потолки. Как можно было этим всё загубить? КАК? Это деградация европейских элит в США какая-то.
beautiful! I'm impressed by that bed.... and though it requires mountain climbing gear to sleep in it... that should not be a great expense considering all costs.
All these super rich people build these monstrosities ,then in a few years they cost so much to maintain and they get bored and all tht space is taken up with them.
Interesting that the listing is only for 40 acres. That is only a small piece of that hill top, that doesn't even come close to covering all the landscape mentioned in the video or those walking trails in the forest. The family owns hundreds of acres of that hill.
Oof, and at a county appraised value of just over $3M, that markup is rough. With the property taxes now being just over $18,000, after that sale it is probably going to skyrocket.
You could fit about half the population of Wyoming in that place. Defense against a zombie apocalypse is the weirdest selling point of a house I've ever heard.
*_The greenhouse has to be build, all exposed concrete needs to be covered in brick or stone tiles, was there a movie theater, at least another Million dollars needs to be spent on just this. I wonder if general upkeep might not be $100,000 a year?_*
Where exactly are the property lines? The perimeter? I looked for a plat map and can't seem to find one anywhere. I also looked on Acre Value and see several plats/plots. Is there a plat map of exactly where the boundaries are?? Thank you kindly. Rett
We actually had a hard time with this, too, while doing our research. The agents shared the real borders with us which aren't the same as what's listed on some of the public data aggregators. Email me at philip@philipwells.com for more info
We've got a real castle, too, in Harvard, Illinois. Actually, two. But the one on Lincoln Road is beyond mind-blowing incredible. It's a true castle and includes a moat and mega huge lakes and property
It's lovely but they really didn't size the tables appropriately, if a person wants to go to the bathroom every person on that side needs to leave their chair to get past.
Sigh, but it’s not a castle. It’s a mansion. People have no clue what a castle actually is. The castle is designed as a home that you can resist a siege from. That you can fight battles from. And still live in. Edinburgh castle is a castle. Stirling castle is a castle. This is a mansion.
It wasn't included in the video. However, to keep it authentic with medieval times, the toilets are in small exterior protrusions from the walls, which allows the raw sewage to fall to the ground.
So for $14,000,000 , you can live in your own Neuschwanstein Castle!
To be honest, I like it better than Neuschwanstein😭

Hello from NYC! Maybe we can give you a map for the tunnels... :)
4000 acres would be nice to go long with this place.
😂
Wow - enjoyed immensely. The house presentation and stories made it interesting. ❤
Thanks for letting us know! We think telling the story of a property is so important in understanding it and fully appreciating it :)
Unbelievable property!! Come on mega millions!!
It's cool and all but you can tell it was built in the 90,s and needs a good refresh.
90s vibe is STRONG
Sad that there's only 40 acres. A monument like this should be in the middle of 5000 acres.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! The windex budget must be insane LOL.
One must buy windex in bulk here
honestly the outside looks amazing but the inside is just terrible imo. But happy the owners made it their own
Yes. I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees that.
Everything feels wonky based on what I saw. I am not the largest person about the same height as Philip so my head would be hitting door frames.
Its fantastic inside- apart from the dead animals
Those windows alone are a maintenance nightmare. Let alone the rest of the home
My thoughts exactly. The maintenance alone will kill you. And how are you supposed to defend this place security wise??? No thx.
Not like any of you got the money for it to be worried about all that now
@C_AVATAR If you got 14m, you got the money to buy metal window shutters. At a press of a button, they all come down

lovely house/castle. the only thing that i could think of was, "it's gotta be a pain in the rear to put new shingles on the roof."
You're set for 268 more years, but then it's going to need some attention.
That or if it springs a leak before then 😂
Beautiful and huge but somehow feels a little cramped on the inside. Why are the ceilings so low in some spots?
I was thinking the same thing. The exterior looks HUGE but the rooms themselves are quite small.
@@Rose_Bride Thew gmae room is really meh
I think the dude in the short-sleeved coat is about 6'8" tall. That scales it appropriately, doesn't it?

Imagine growing up there

There is a LOT of small narrow weirdly shaped spaces, along with some nice cavernous ones.
