I realize this is all opinion, so simply saying I am wrong is kind of subjective. To the rest of the points I made, it would all depend on what the castle was actually like. Again, if I am going to have a place that far out, to me a castle isn't something I would want. Perhaps just me...
If someone offered me right now a 2 million dollar apartment in NY or SF, or a castle in Europe, I would probably choose the apartment.
Firstly, I would probably prefer to live in the apartment at this point in my life close to where I could find work.
Second it would be MUCH easier to sell. Then, I could probably buy something more modest in a location I preferred.
Third, keeping up a regular apt/house is going to be MUCH less money than a castle and castle grounds.
Fourth, WTF do you even do with all that space? Would like to visit a room I never use? OK let's go. Cool isn't it, don't touch anything. Or the alternative, Yeah I could only afford to furnish 10%of my house.
Again, personal preference, and I understand. To me I would rather have a bunch of land (not necessarily manicured gardens), with garages and workshops. Places to ride a dirtbike etc.
I hear ya.
