A chance to own a Castle in the Forest. Situated on a private and secluded forest paradise just south of Christina Lake it is the perfect oasis. Eden like fenced gardens, greenhouses, fruit trees, chicken runs all set up for self-sufficiency and sustainable living. A year-round creek supplies sufficient flow for micro-hydroelectric power and water to a 30,000-gallon sealed underground cistern. The entire exterior of the home is constructed of multiple layers of concrete reinforced with steel mesh. This European building tradition is meant to last centuries and is designed to resist fire, rot and insects as well as the added benefit of being cool in the summer and retaining heat in the winter. The interior of the Castle is abundant with charm and character, containing unique colored concrete floors and wood features, impressive arched doors and windows, and amazing stained-glass windows. Perhaps the main feature is the impressive stunning spiral staircase leading to the three and a half storey tower that houses three bedrooms each with their own ensuite bathrooms. The outside features large patios, meditative nature pools, a 1,450 square foot workshop/studio, greenhouse, gardens, and a three bedroom guest house. Nature trails lead to the nearby creek and pond, as well as extensive hiking trails, and easy access to ATV trail. Whether it is your own private retreat or for a fabulous air B&B you will not find another property like this one.
