Slightly too far for me to drive to/from work, but it would be a pretty sweet place to live! Even a partial faux-moat.

Thats an awesome house! Not a fan of the interior design but I like the structure and the little building that comes with it! I'd make the main house look more like that little building. Thats not a bad price either for that house. What if the Order made a headquarters there ;) Douglas get your money the 3 of us are living there. I'll supply the horses, I know a guy. Could make a little training area. Hmm

Reminds me of a medieval version of my Uncle's log house. The interior decorations, at least.  :)

Hah! Nice!

If I were a rich man, I'd have entirely too much fun redecorating the interior. I'd make sure the "castle theme" carried over to the inside as well. ;)

I thought the interior looked a bit too Edwardian

There are older forts and medieval style houses closer to me. Its a good 3 hour drive for me.
Ill make a P.A. Priory for the order. Not a bad idea.

Nice find!! I would look into purchasing that myself. I like the creek for fishing. :) Great price & awesome location. It is within 25 miles of PENNSIC WAR!!! That would be a sweet home.

Geez...I paid more for my townhouse.  That would be sweet but there's no way I could convince my wife to move there.  lol
