    "Completely Modernized" means it's ruined to me. If I'm buying a castle, the only modern things added to it better be plumbing, electricity, and MAYBE central heating. Why the hell would you make any room resemble something you can find in a hotel or apartment?

      Plumbing and wiring means it is a house and not a castle.
      If you want it to be a castle then you have to go native and ensure that it is of the standards of the middle ages.

      I want a strait up authentic castle. No heat, to electricity, water comes from a well out front, your toilet is a bench with a hole in it that just dead drops down to a sece pit. I wanna be having to snipe Danes with a long bow every morning to make sure it doesn't get sieged before I go have breakfast.
      Now that's the castle life....

      I think you could build a modest square box chateau for around two million dollars with a few acres of land around it, depending on where you'd built it. Two levels, around 16-20 rooms, high ceilings. You would need to do the interior decorating and landscaping yourself and you could run it as a BB.
