Need a Modern Fortress? Live Like a Royal in a Massive Minnesota Castle

If you’ve always dreamed of living like a royal in a real-deal castle, there’s no need to make your way to Europe.

Tucked in the woods in Eagan, MN, is a fully renovated castle listed for just under $3 million. And although the property doesn’t come with a coat of arms, you’ll feel every bit the noble strolling the grounds of Eagan’s Castle.

Located just south of the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro, the five-bedroom, five-bath castle sits on more than 2.5 acres in the middle of the woods; however, it’s a quick commute to the Twin Cities. Built in 1985, the 8,968-square-foot home’s been fully renovated in recent years.

Builders traded historical fortress features such as the moat and dungeon for something a bit more refined. There’s the chef’s kitchen with Italian quartzite counters and three pantries for feeding an army.

Luxe features include a home theater, gym, and heated driveway leading to a seven-car garage.

Despite the castle’s modern trappings, including sleek black woodwork and stainless-steel touches throughout, there are features that transport you to another time, maybe even another world. A main tower shoots up from the middle of the home, and the interior wood beams look like a flying buttress.

There’s a spiral staircase with intricate ironwork, and the wood-paneled library is fit for a king.

This one-of-a-kind home might not be a good fit for buyers without a royal fascination. But for someone who dreams of being the lord of a manor, Eagan’s Castle might be worthy of a princely sum.
