BEDFORD CASTLE: ONE-OF-A-KIND ESTATE

Spiral staircases lead to two accessible towers, including the tallest tower with floor-to-ceiling glass walls and panoramic north and south valley views.

What the owner loves about this home
What I love about Bedford Castle is how truly unique and immersive the property feels. Surrounded by thousands of mature trees with panoramic valley views, it offers the feeling of a private mountain estate unlike anything else in the region. The towers, copper roof, stonework, glass-walled lookout tower, underground tunnels, and incredible craftsmanship make the home feel like a real European-inspired castle experience.
