Previously in the blog, we’ve highlighted some remarkable French castles and Italian castellos.  Today, while looking through some historic residences in the USA, I came across this amazing castle located on my side of the pond.  The Frederick Faulkner Castle took six years to build and is constructed of pink granite from the coast of Maine that was barged down the Merrimack River to Lowell, Massachusetts. After being carted by ox to the hilltop setting, each granite block was hand-fitted with precision by stone craftsmen.  I’ve seen a large number of luxury trophy properties, but few can match the story of this momentous residence that features eight bedrooms, an impressive 40-foot foyer, a finished walk-out basement and several original and period details.

The Frederick Faulkner Castle can be found in the National Register of Historic Places and is listed by William Raveis Real Estate & Home Services.
