Ever wondered what it would be like to survey your kingdom from the top of a castle?

A newly listed, regal residence, nestled between 40 acres of rolling fields and mountains in Bedford, WY, presents that opportunity for $14 million.

Abounding with fairy-tale vibes, the five-bedroom, 9,470-square-foot palace was built in 1992 with many striking details—we’re talking a moat and multiple towers.

“It was built by the owner,” says listing agent Patty Speakman, of Compass Real Estate – Jackson Hole. “He is a contractor, and it was his dream home. He was very private and always wanted to live in a castle. Every detail has been done very meticulously.”

‘Trees and views galore’

Known as Bedford Castle, the property is nestled in an agricultural area with breathtaking mountain views.

“The location, for one thing, is one of the most impressive features of the property,” Speakman says. “It is filled with trees and views galore that are some of the best in the valley. It offers total seclusion and a feeling of real privacy up there. The property was farmed, so the seller planted all of the trees.”

Lavish highlights include stone floors; a custom, stainless steel staircase; dual towers; and an underground tunnel system accessible via “secret hidden holes.” There’s even an underground shop and a vault room for added security. Above the shop, there is a helipad for easy access in and out of the property.

“There are many fun things to explore here,” Speakman notes. “Inside, there are pillars and towers.”

Ornate details

The palatial property comes with one feature that commoners and royalty alike can appreciate.

“Castles are mostly dark, but this one is really neat because it has lots of windows for natural light,” Speakman explains.

A spiral, stainless steel staircase accesses all five levels of the residence and leads to the tallest tower.

Other luxe details include radiant-heat floors, six fireplaces, stone balconies, custom beams, crown molding, and a copper roof.

“When you climb to the top of the tower, the owner has a telescope where you can see forever valley views,” Speakman adds.

About that moat

An enormous living room has wood, cathedral ceilings and glass walls filled with the surrounding natural scenery.

“There is also a beautiful rock fireplace that takes up the whole wall,” Speakman says.

A greenhouse, game room, fitness center, numerous walking and biking trails, and a bridge-accessed moat all sweeten the listing.

Speakman says the seller uses the dwelling a primary residence, but she envisions it as a secondary home for the next owner.

“It is very unique, very one-of-a-kind, so well built and maintained and has an incredible castle feel to it,” she says. “I think the next owner will be someone who is looking for privacy and seclusion … with a dream of living in their very own castle.”
