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
@@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. ❤
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 Most of the castles people purchase like the people in the video buy castles that are super outdated and in a non-livable condition, they then spend tons on renovations to be able to have the space be in a livable condition plus modern household items like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.
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! ❤
@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?
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.
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 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
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?
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.
See this is a problem here in Scotland as these big rich people from across the world buy up castles and houses in the highlands it makes it dead expensive for the locals to live there keep your hands off our castles
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
Idk why I feel like my mental health would be so much better if I lived in a place like this.
Me too:(

@@thatnormalguy9 it's a freaking CASTLE.

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€

Stories like this give people hope. What a goal to achieve. Much respect!
That's so cute. Beautiful cat that lives in a castle with her family
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!
So wonderful! Hard work always produces. God bless you both.
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?
I would have liked to hear more about the castle's history.
Worst that could happen? Bankrupt, homeless, broken back or death from building injury. Glad it worked out for these guys.
@Athos Aramis exactly

Thanks for sharing! it's like once In a life time thing!!!❤
what a beautiful couple, very inspirational.
Wow!. A piece off history. So lucky. 🎉 Congratulations!. 🎉🎉🎉

Absolutely inspirational !
I think the cat likes it in the castle to. She's beautiful and God bless her
i want my own castle i love them and big manor houses
This is one of the points of what I really love UK 🇬🇧. It's a great and cool and it's a dream history.
That’s so cool!
a dream for many of us!! beautiful
I like the lord and lady. Beautiful castle.
Stunning
Awesome 👌
This is my literal dream. Absolutely love this! Where is it?/can people stay there?
It’s so Beautiful
Well done you two 👍🏾

Lovely, congratulations on your achievement

Depends on how strictly you define ''castle''. These days, almost any dwelling or fortification can be considered a castle.
Castle living is no fairytale , it's a kiloton of hard work. especially with lower end castles! But it can be worth it.
I am going to live in a castle.
When
Great job.
Awesome
It’s more of a fort than a castle in my opinion
What about the haunted GHOST living in the castle???
Cold!
This is literally my life, but my castle is in Tuscany, Italy
I would love to stay here.
Wowwww I want the home like this
I love your cat
I do want to buy a castle, but the money is not there...
My dream!
Finally knows what it’s like to live like Dracula!! I LOVE IT!! 🧛♂️
👌 wow
I am jealous .
😁
vooral het dak lijkt me redelijk ingewikkeld omdat je er relatief weinig van vind.... laat staan het interieur!!
living a happy life with a white chonk cat,in a castle is my aesthetic
Bet the heating bill is nuts.
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 🤙
how tho
Damn I want to live in castle

Well, does this castle not have an owner, I mean how did they settle there without anyone’s permission? Is that okay to do?
Templers castle
Halab castle

Karachesar castle

They must have millions of pounds to do all that and buy it

i want to build a real deadly fortress along a mountain in the west with a castle built inside the mountain
🏰🏴🇬🇧
Their decorative taste is awful they painted the walls white !! and modernize it I wonder why they even wanted to live in a castle !?
Man what do they do for a living
How could they afford it damn :s
They must only be about 25 or 30 how can they afford this lol
Where did these hipsters get the money?
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 castels looks like a prison OUTSIDE...🌍

Doesn’t really look like a castle from the outside, more like a prison

Imo only Scottish people should be granted permission to own castles in Scotland
