This sprawling property, currently being used as a hotel, on the market for around $12 million, is practically begging to be converted back into a home fit for royalty. In a picturesque parkland near England's Lake District, Appleby Castle is enveloped in a rich history spanning almost a millennia. Over the years, it has even been visited by kings, adding to the property's grandeur. For a cool R228 million or so, you can own this piece of history.
"The mansion, featuring a Great Hall, staircase, dining room, state bedroom, and other elegant rooms, remains remarkably preserved and is an unparalleled time capsule tucked in some of Britain's most beautiful countryside," it said. Appleby Castle has 22 bedrooms and 19 bathrooms, offering ample space for hosting parties or generating income by listing it as a luxury accommodation.
