If you have always fantasized about being the king or queen of your castle, how about actually living in one?

Whether you have a moderate budget or are willing to lay out a king’s ransom for a palatial spread, we’ve got a regal residence for you.

We aren’t the only ones obsessed with castles right now. Dynamic design duo Chip and Joanna Gaines recently completed the total renovation of a century-old castle in Waco, TX. You can watch the transformation on their new show “Fixer Upper: Welcome Home—The Castle” on the Magnolia Network.

In case you’re craving more royal reveries, here’s a look at five fairy-tale homes from Idaho to Florida that you can buy right now.

1. 45500 Stratton Rd, Callahan, FL

Price: $5,700,000
Grand living: Behold a knight in shining armor awaiting your entry to this majestic, 8,891-square-foot mansion.

Drive up the tree-lined road to the dramatic gated entry to arrive at this picturesque, six-bedroom palace.

Built in 2008, the luxury property features many ornate, handcarved wood details, from the kitchen cabinets and Italian fireplace mantel to the arched doors and Juliet balconies.

As befits a castle, this one features two corner towers. There’s also a gym, five-car garage, and oversized pool with a swim-up bar and fountains.

2. 2009 Victoria Hl, Oakland Township, MI

Price: $2,500,000
Medieval masterpiece: This exquisite 6,106-square-foot castle looks like something out of the Middle Ages, even though it was built in 1990.

The Gothic home on 6.25 acres features a wrought-iron fence with two gated towers. The multilevel structure is 60 feet tall (higher than a four-story building) and comes with its very own moat, waterfall, and drawbridge.

Inside the 26-room home, there are five fireplaces, secret rooms, hidden doors and passageways, and a hidden staircase.

While this might seem like a lot to traverse, an elevator provides easy access from the lower-level, Tudor-style pub to the upper-level enormous primary suite.

3. 27 Rough Rd, Sagle, ID

Price: $7,000,000
Waterfront wonder: This whimsical, newly constructed castle was built with granite quarried in British Columbia and trimmed on-site to look like a medieval fortress.

Located on 8.6 acres overlooking Lake Pend Oreille and abutting Frandsen Forest, the home features two bedrooms and three bathrooms. Timber beams in the 8,000-square-foot home were harvested from the nearby forest. There’s also a stone tunnel, a two-tiered dock, and an interior plunge pool.

A few finishing touches are all that remain to turn this castle into a one-of-a-kind manor.

4. 15459 Whitehouse Rd, Winslow, AR

Price: $664,900
Bona fide bargain: This Tudor-style castle is the most affordable one on our list. The regal residence, on the market for over a year, is also available as a rental.

The original castle is the three-story block tower that was “built off of a survivalist’s bunker who lived off grid,” the listing states. It was once a prepper palace!

Sitting on 7 acres in the Boston Mountains of the Ozarks, the four-bedroom home features custom doors and glass, and a secret door.

The castle comes with a 70-foot wooden bridge, which can be closed off to the main road.

5. 74450 Highway 437, Covington, LA

Price: $1,500,000
Price plunge: While this concrete fortress has been on the market for nearly two years, a recent $1 million price cut may entice a bargain shopper.

The three-bedroom home was built in 2019 and features an indoor theater, spa-inspired bathroom, and game room.

The second-floor balcony offers incredible views of the 12.25-acre private lot. There’s also a designer pool and an additional outbuilding.
