Wild ‘Little Mermaid’ castle for sale in Texas turns heads on Zillow Gone Wild. See it
Unique castles are often seen popping up all over the international real estate market — from ancient castles to modern ones, it’s not unusual to stumble upon one that’s for sale when searching abroad. But in the United States? That’s a different story.
Especially when one pops up in the Lone Star State.
“Welcome to Parsons Castle, a magnificent setting for your very own fairy tale ending,” the listing on Sotheby’s International Realty describes. “Perched atop cliffs that overlook Lake Whitney, this five-story castle has been meticulously constructed and lovingly maintained, serving both as a cherished primary residence and an enchanting event space.”
The 11,134-square-foot residence in Clifton, Texas, is like nothing ever seen before — except for perhaps in Disney movies — and is listed for $5.5 million.
“Approaching this property is akin to stepping into the pages of a Disney storybook,” the listing says. “Cross a drawbridge spanning heart-shaped moats, and you’ll enter a grand foyer.”
The castle, which was built in 2018, has 10 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms and comes with an array of heavenly features.
“The ballroom boasts stunning lake views, and its commercial kitchen and bar make hosting a breeze. Manicured lawns, a pool and spa, and multiple balconies ensure all feel like royalty,” the listing on Zillow notes.
