Oakland County Castle for Sale
Oakland County Castle for Sale
You could have your own castle with hidden rooms, a dungeon, a drawbridge, and a moat for 2.5 million in Oakland County! According to Freep.com, this Oakland County castle is for sale near Rochester at the end of Deer Creek Estates.
At first, I thought this would be some kind of modern joke of a build, but the nerd in me wants this castle so badly! It is amazing! I don’t know if there is some secretly hidden homeowner nightmare lurking inside, but from the pictures, it looks great.
The castle was built in 1990 by the late James LeBlanc who promised his wife he would build her a castle! Talk about romantic! Who wants to buy their other half a castle? Well, you can now! My wife gets a Build-Bear ET and that’s all I can do.
Leblanc passed in May at 72. He was an engineer and built the home with a variety of techniques. Over 60 tons of steel and over 10 million dollars were put into the construction of the home.
And a DUNGEON!
After crossing an actual drawbridge you’ll be able to access the home at the 762-pound oak door. The drawbridge is the only way to access the home as there is a MOAT surrounding the home. Lablanc spared no expense for the effects.
Once inside you are greeted with a delightful living room and entry that looks like a wedding hall rental. Complete with pillars and an armored knight.
But here’s where it gets really fun. There is a library with hidden doors, mirrored walls, and a dungeon! There’s an underground grotto with cave-like walls over a jacuzzi. A four-car garage with London-themed and sculpted walls.
>My nerdy heart would love to buy this and make this into the ultimate gaming nerd paradise. Even my friends have suggested we go in as a group and purchase it. The Dungeon and Dragon games that would be had! Even Joe Manganiello would be jealous (yeah that big sexy dude is REALLY into Dungeons and Dragons too!).
2.5 million is a lot of money, but for what it cost to make and what you are getting, that’s a steal! If you got the money! But I got to buy eggs too!
Even the realtors are having fun in this house/castle:
