Bo and I were out driving around the NW Atlanta countryside a couple of weeks ago, and stumbled onto this...House. That's a house, folks. Not a museum, not a B&B, not an amusement park. A privately owned and occupied house. Whoa!

Legend has it that when the man asked the woman to marry him, she said she would, but only if he treated her like a queen. So he proceded to build her a castle. Uh, wow! He built it in the 1970s, long before the area was more populated with busy roads and housing developments. Today, it sits right on the edge of a busy road, and is in full sight for passersby. Bummer for them, fun for us.

The moat - yes, you read that right - serves as a wraparound swimming pool:

I don't need a full on castle but I would love a house with a turret room!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Guess you could really get in shape swimming laps around that pool!
