If i had such an obscene wealth i would not buy castle, i would hire people to build one but with modern methods and meterials so it removes the cold issues etc
Actually, it's not that expensive to buy a castle in the UK. Most of the castles people purchase like the people in the video buy castles that are super outdated and in a non-livable condition, they then spend tons on renovations to be able to have the space be in a livable condition plus modern household items like AC's, such and such. Most people I know/ seen that have a castle in the UK spend like half a million to buy the castle and another half a million for all the renovations the castle needs. That's one of the cheapest ways I have seen but I could be wrong, all I'm saying is just saving up for a couple of years and lots of planning can buy you your own castle haha.
@James X I live in California, where a million-dollar home can get you a 3 bedroom 2 bath if you're lucky. That's why I was saying it's not that expensive for a literal mansion that's a staple of medieval artifacts.
@@rainatmidnight sooo....what you're saying is, living in a castle would ruin your physical health. how? I'm assuming the mold built up over time? idk.
What a beautiful story and isn’t it great to see how beautiful it turned out. Decay out, new in. Good luck to you both. The place was sitting there just for you to see it. I’m so happy for you both. What a great adventure. May 2024 be kind to you both and let the adventure begin. ❤
@Mr Santi Well, I'm sorry to hear that, but I would guess that ancestral land isn't considered that way anymore. Although, what castles would be fine to be owned?
I cooked in this Castle as private chef for a family from the US . I travel for my clients all over Scotland and I see many castles and this is one of a kind with many things you can do inside and also in the BBQ area .. having watched this video I now understand why this place is very unique and is worth to be visited! ❤
Right... Ignorance is bliss, until its not. They are that financially illiterate that they didn't even realize that bankruptcy is VERY plausible doing what they did.
So you buy a castle, renovate it and don't actually live in it? I take it that this is a rental business property you visit a few times a year as stated in the video?
Now that is a well done modern castle, beautiful and with fitting furnature. Brave to dare get on this project though idk what kind of balance they had but projects like this are usually expensive!
I think they should have put in masonry stoves instead of those inefficient cast iron stoves, that you have to constantly add wood. A medium sized soap stone stove with a pizza oven would have been nice in the great room. With soap stone stove you only have to burn one or two times a day and then the heat radiates from the whole mass of the stove all day.
I remember when we travelled through Germany a lot of ordinary people who live in the castles. There are so many castles. A lot, I think, no longer owed by the original families. They live just like it’s an ordinary home. It was so strange to see modern things for a home but just in a castle
Castle? Technically that abode is not a castle, you don’t need to be an architect to know it. That being said, congrats on the couple for teaming up to put a home together with their bare hands 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Sorry but that's not a castle. It's a home built with a castle athstetic. It was popular to do this back in the day. Even though its known as a castle its not one. To be a castle it has to be battle ready with crenulations battlements towers arrow slits and so on. This was just an important man's home once upon a time. So if your in the market for a castle hire a historian that knows about them.
depending on the shape it's in you can buy a castle that size for 500k and much bigger ones for 1-2 mil. Honestly if I had that kind of money and was willing to do the work I'd definitely do it. Though I wouldn't make an Airbnb out of it.
what a load of crap "what's the worst that can happen" .. well perhaps you can take a mortgage on the property, waste your health on the renovation and lose everything, not being able to pay the bills...
1. It is not a castle, it is a house. 2. There is no such thing as a Grade II Listed building in Scotland. I wish you well in your renovations but please recognise you are not living in England. Please do your work intelligently.
The thing is, If I bought a castle, I would not modernize it.
@@ariesa9751 maybe heat is the exception... the only one though

@@janodefenua4603 yeah , as if building a castle was easy! You'll be waiting 20 years for it to get done
@@lioness5446 How come 20 years?
@@ChungSeikerThatonedudenot for real , its just to say that the procedures take too long
I wonder what they actually do for a living, so I can actually purchase my own castle too.

@@alexisr.9303 These guys would be able to cover the renovation expenses if they continue to rent it as an air bnb
@@alexisr.9303 i thought they would be a lot more pricey?
you can find castles around 250k€
Idk why I feel like my mental health would be so much better if I lived in a place like this.
Me too:(
@ً meh, who cares about physical health anyway
@@rainatmidnight health is everything
@@thatnormalguy9 it's a freaking CASTLE.

Literally my dream is to live in a castle😂
Me too!!
Same omg. One of those dark, medieval castles with beautiful scenery 😍
people ae dreaming of castles from 1300 till today
Same
Same those rlly big ones!
I would have liked to hear more about the castle's history.
This man knows how to be comfortable. He's got it figured out imo.
@Mr Santi Well, I'm sorry to hear that, but I would guess that ancestral land isn't considered that way anymore. Although, what castles would be fine to be owned?
So wonderful! Hard work always produces. God bless you both.
Stories like this give people hope. What a goal to achieve. Much respect!

Worst that could happen? Bankrupt, homeless, broken back or death from building injury. Glad it worked out for these guys.

Love the castle and the story behind it.
That's so cute. Beautiful cat that lives in a castle with her family

Absolutely inspirational !
Wow!. A piece off history. So lucky. 🎉 Congratulations!. 🎉🎉🎉
what a beautiful couple, very inspirational.

absolutely stunning place,, p. s where did you get your camouflage parka from?
I think the cat likes it in the castle to. She's beautiful and God bless her
Stunning
Lovely, congratulations on your achievement
That’s so cool!
This is one of the points of what I really love UK 🇬🇧. It's a great and cool and it's a dream history.
i want my own castle i love them and big manor houses
This is my literal dream. Absolutely love this! Where is it?/can people stay there?
a dream for many of us!! beautiful
Great job.

Depends on how strictly you define ''castle''. These days, almost any dwelling or fortification can be considered a castle.
Well done you two 👍🏾
Awesome 👌
It’s so Beautiful
I like the lord and lady. Beautiful castle.
I am going to live in a castle.
When
What about the haunted GHOST living in the castle???
Wowwww I want the home like this
It’s more of a fort than a castle in my opinion
This is literally my life, but my castle is in Tuscany, Italy
Castle living is no fairytale , it's a kiloton of hard work. especially with lower end castles! But it can be worth it.
I would love to stay here.
how tho
I do want to buy a castle, but the money is not there...
Well, does this castle not have an owner, I mean how did they settle there without anyone’s permission? Is that okay to do?
👌 wow
Finally knows what it’s like to live like Dracula!! I LOVE IT!! 🧛♂️
You wanna come over my castle and listen to some Ethiopian jazz records mate?
lol. f'in would i?
What's the name of the place?
Ethiopian jazz?? Pfffft... mainstream. 70's Pitcairn Island funk is where it's at 🤙
Damn I want to live in castle
My dream!
I love your cat
I am jealous .
😁
vooral het dak lijkt me redelijk ingewikkeld omdat je er relatief weinig van vind.... laat staan het interieur!!

Bet the heating bill is nuts.
They must have millions of pounds to do all that and buy it
depending on the shape it's in you can buy a castle that size for 500k and much bigger ones for 1-2 mil. Honestly if I had that kind of money and was willing to do the work I'd definitely do it. Though I wouldn't make an Airbnb out of it.
How could they afford it damn :s
living a happy life with a white chonk cat,in a castle is my aesthetic
They must only be about 25 or 30 how can they afford this lol
PrOpAH FlaUffeY sNOEh
Man what do they do for a living
🏰🏴🇬🇧
i want to build a real deadly fortress along a mountain in the west with a castle built inside the mountain
Templers castle
Halab castle
Belicek castle
Laif castle
Anagul castle
Konya castle
Karachesar castle
Kuluchesar castle
Where did these hipsters get the money?
Doesn’t really look like a castle from the outside, more like a prison
Some castels looks like a prison OUTSIDE...🌍
I am more of a chateau person tho, but love your castle
Wait chateaux and castles aren’t the same thing? Wut?
Playboi carti lives there
Some stories

what a load of crap "what's the worst that can happen" .. well perhaps you can take a mortgage on the property, waste your health on the renovation and lose everything, not being able to pay the bills...
Their decorative taste is awful they painted the walls white !! and modernize it I wonder why they even wanted to live in a castle !?
