Where Whimsy Meets Wealth-Building Potential! Tucked behind Laurelwood Golf Course in the coveted South Hills, this is not just a property—it’s a rare income-producing asset. Originally built in 1975 yet rich with centuries-old charm, this one-of-a-kind castle has been transformed into a high-performing short-term rental generating over $100,000 annually (up by 25% this year so far), with four potential rentable spaces designed to maximize revenue and guest experience. Based on current performance, this asset offers an estimated 6.4% cap rate (and rising with this year's numbers), positioning it as a compelling opportunity for investors seeking both yield and long-term appreciation. The current production is more than satisfactory but, there is still room to maximize even more! Proven Income. Documented Performance.
