This Week’s Most Popular Home Is a Dreamy Castle Bed-and-Breakfast

Most popular homes for August 19 2016

Dreams inspire clicks on realtor.com®. Every week, we see the results of your housing daydreams played out in our list of most popular homes. The fantasies span the spectrum—ricocheting from multimillion-dollar mansions to bargain-basement opportunities, with stops at all sorts of homes in between.

This week’s most popular home is a Scottish-style castle built in the 1850s. And while we’ve seen castles inspire visions before, this week’s is different. This Maryland fortress happens to come with an income opportunity. The stone structure is a bed-and-breakfast! You can knock out two of your dreams with a single stone.

We weren’t surprised to see the castle soar to the top of this week’s most popular homes, but we were surprised by the price attached to this dreamy opportunity: a mere $690,000. While it’s not exactly pocket change, we have a feeling the mortgage will be covered over easy if a buyer knows how to crack an egg.

In addition to the cool castle, you also clicked on a quarterback’s mansion in Texas, a cool Mid-Century Modern home in Indiana, and a number of homes with abundant acreage.

Spread out and follow your dreams as you peruse this week’s most popular homes.

10. 19668 County Road 74, Eaton, CO

Price: $2,150,000
Why it’s here: Listing agent Lynn Laramore told us this Colorado ranch was a hit on social media. The cute two-bedroom home on the property is plenty nice, but the real star is the 72 acres of land for farming and livestock. There’s also a riding arena on the property (according to Laramore, the sellers are popular in the rodeo biz).
