Dream Home - A Castle in Portugal

This week's dream home is taking us away to Portugal... to a castle... dating to the 17th century. It blew my mind the minute I saw it and knew I had to share it. The price is available upon request, and you can find the listing from Sotheby's Realty right here.

Check this beauty out...

And the area surrounding it? Obviously just as stunning...

Are you loving it yet? If not, maybe the bare bones interior will sell you. I just think that these rooms have so much potential (they are pretty spectacular just the way they are...)

Love those floors, and the fireplaces! How about the ceilings and doors in that second room? Taking my breath away, seriously!

Or how about the windows here?...

I'm thinking that room would make a fabulous dining room! On gorgeous days you could open those doors in the middle and let the fresh air and sunshine (or sunset) flood in!

Did I mention that it comes with it's own chapel?

Yes... you're very own chapel... with stunning stained glass windows and those fabulous paintings on the wall. Unbelievable.

The details will just absolutely blow you away, like the details below from one of the castle's many fireplaces...

I could love a place like this. Imagine calling this your home (just don't try to imagine any of the bills that would come with a place like this). Just think about the history and the beauty of the place.

What do you think? Is a historical casa such as this something you'd like to escape to, or are you into something a little more new and modern? Where do you dream of laying your roots or running off to for a sweet escape? Shoot me an email or leave me a comment, and I'd be more than happy to search out your perfect dream home (or escape)!
