Australians looking to purchase property now have a unique opportunity to buy a castle-like retreat – and it costs less than $800,000.
This unique two-storey white stone masterpiece, unlike any other, embodies a whimsical presence amidst manicured gardens and modern homes in Port Lincoln, South Australia.
From the street, the property looks like a normal house among others, but as soon as you walk down the driveway, you immediately notice the castle tower, arch and wall.
The 8,000-square-foot castle has a starting price of $749,000 to $799,000.
The grand entrance features stairs leading to a welcoming terrace up to the gently curved Naytoah wooden entrance door with statues and a fountain on the side.
Inside, there is medieval grandeur combined with wooden interior elements. There is a formal living room and a dining room fitted with a royal red carpet and a large fireplace.
The cost of such a divine home may be shocking to some when compared to the astronomical median house prices in Sydney, which hit $1.62 million in December 2023.
Port Lincoln is a town on the Eyre Peninsula and is a seven-hour drive from central Adelaide. The property was built in 1990 and last sold in 2012 for $485,000.

Port Lincoln was one of the areas included in Smart Property Investment’s most recent FAST 50 report, which was released in February 2024 to highlight the suburbs in which investment is being made.
Best known for its incredible seafood, Port Lincoln was initially considered the capital of South Australia due to its vast and deep harbour, but a lack of fresh water meant that Adelaide was later chosen instead.
Today, the area has a strong primary economy, with 50 percent of South Australia’s wheat, barley and oilseed production concentrated in the Port Lincoln region, according to Smart Property.
