- Managore, on 05/08/2008, -4/+406Castles always get invaded, everyone knows that. You don't want to get invaded, do you? Next question!
- thelastcivilian, on 05/08/2008, -1/+307Either way, I don't have $500,000 lying around.
- PauliAnna, on 05/08/2008, -9/+246Not for long ... the Dollar has taken such a dive against the Euro. Soon you'll be able to cash in your Chelsea loft for three baguettes and a glass of rancid table wine.
- Bullsnot, on 05/08/2008, -0/+182But I have been practicing Tower Defense, so I am ready.
- MuddyMudskipper, on 05/08/2008, -2/+170why live in a castle when you can live in a condemned insane asylum that looks like a castle?
http://www.kirkbridebuildings.com/ - LaSepultura, on 05/08/2008, -3/+167Which one can I get FiOS in? N00bs aren't going to pwn themselves.
- WoogieHauser, on 05/08/2008, -3/+166As long as the castle comes with a few dozen serfs, I'm good.
- Bullsnot, on 05/08/2008, -0/+138Investment opportunity!! If all you diggers will send me $10 each I will buy the castle and you can all come stay with me anytime you want.
I'll market it as a great way to meet women. Take them back to 'your castle'. Phone ahead and I will make sure everyone refers to you as the owner that day. :) - diggface5000, on 05/08/2008, -5/+119That place is france is gorgeous except i'd have to live in france... and i am le tired
- bluesatin, on 05/08/2008, -0/+110Well have a nap, THEN FIRE ZE MISSILES!
- franklymydear57, on 05/08/2008, -3/+107I'm off to watch House Hunters International on HGTV. French countryside here I come!
- Arcesius, on 05/08/2008, -1/+98I believe the correct term is besieged.
- smacksaw, on 05/08/2008, -5/+96They leave out that in South Africa you need a $500,000 BMW or Mercedes to drive around in that has full armour.
- Arcesius, on 05/08/2008, -2/+72Did you check under the sofa cushions?
- casspa, on 05/08/2008, -4/+68This makes me feel like an ass for living in nyc
- jack0lant3rn, on 05/08/2008, -0/+63hahaha yeah $10 time shares on a castle in another country, you should get an infomercial
- TheUngod, on 05/08/2008, -0/+61Unless they have a rocket launcher
- coldpockets, on 05/08/2008, -0/+54It's all about location...compare what you can get for $1M in the midwest US to Beverly Hills.
- Bajayjay, on 05/08/2008, -1/+55Wow the French Castle rules. Most of these places actually come with a considerable amount of property too. Just add some wifi and you can be lord of the castle and sit on your ass in a castle instead of a dinky apt or condo.
- yojiffyskippy, on 05/08/2008, -1/+55Wait until my wealthy Prince friend sends me my share of the inheritance and I'll chip in. He hasn't responded to my emails since giving him my bank account information but I'm sure he's just a busy wealthy Prince.
- sodade, on 05/08/2008, -0/+52The article would have been much more interesting comparing 200-300k options around the world.
- ghank, on 05/08/2008, -0/+52keep oil handy??????
Are you INSANE? Oil will get you invaded, quick and in a hurry. - bigmac7669, on 05/08/2008, -1/+51Being able to say "I'm the King of this castle" to your wife everyday........ PRICELESS
- PlanetSyS, on 05/08/2008, -6/+55This speaks to the biggest advantage of making a living online - you can live wherever you want. Most people are stuck having to live in densely populated cities with high real estate prices because they don't want to commute. I'll take an Italian castle any day over a cramped New York apartment..
- AngryAngryBrian, on 05/08/2008, -0/+45Yeah, but you would still have to be crazy to live there.
- masterspeaks, on 05/08/2008, -2/+45Yea... too much information there.
- LizNovack, on 05/08/2008, -0/+41Simple: Just make sure the peasants are happy and keep a pot of hot oil handy.
- inactive, on 05/08/2008, -4/+44This is absolute *****. There is NO ***** way that french place costs only $500,000
I've bought a holiday home there (near Bordeaux) and prices are not that low. Funny how it doesn't link to any real estate dealer to prove the prices.
Just more unresearched Digg submission spam from that site. - RobotBuddha, on 05/08/2008, -3/+42I'll second your sarcastic comment as truth. I've lived in a a lot of small towns and rural areas. And while I did have a social life in those places, it wasn't stimulating in any. Most suffer from a terrible level of brain-drain. The people with drive and ambition develop a hatred for the town when growing up, and get out of dodge never to return. At best there's usually just a very, very, tiny clutch of people with any interests outside of gossip and local sports team.
- hinmanj, on 05/08/2008, -0/+39I'll take the place in Sweden. Oh god the internet speeds there are reason enough to move.
- simpletwist, on 05/08/2008, -0/+38I would think a castle would be more costly to upkeep, especially with heating costs.
- FuzzyBunny, on 05/08/2008, -1/+39Anyone else notice that they're comparing countries to specific high priced parts of the US? Sure a million $ will get you a castle in middle of nowhere Italy, but it won't buy jack squat in Rome. Just like it would get you a 5,000 sq ft lakefront mansion somewhere in Oklahoma, but almost nothing in LA or NYC.
- MrSlumberjack, on 05/08/2008, -0/+36That's why you dig a moat and fill it with alligators. ..And populate your woods with raptors.
- Chakat, on 05/08/2008, -12/+48I disagree. I actually have a social life. There are advantages to city life other than no commute.
- villageatheist, on 05/08/2008, -3/+37those castles may be priced to sell but you'll need hundreds of thousands just to maintain them over the years. of course, you can always go to where the labor is cheap and you make out good with the exchange rate.
- Genetico, on 05/08/2008, -0/+32you burn the heathens!
- diggface5000, on 05/08/2008, -1/+33Another digger watches house hunters! I don't feel so lame now.
- inactive, on 05/08/2008, -2/+33Why are those ***** houses and condos going for that much? The location isn't that even great.
- dOOBiEx213, on 05/08/2008, -1/+32Nascar synonymous with manly? I thought it was more like redneck.
- BXRWXR, on 05/08/2008, -2/+32Stop being such a drama queen, sweety.
- shakin, on 05/08/2008, -4/+33There are also lots of types of social lives that don't involve clubs, theatres, and other sorts of urban activities. I bet if you had a castle on your own lake you'd be invited to partake in social activities with other castle owners.
- frelk, on 05/08/2008, -0/+29Supply and demand.
- Genetico, on 05/08/2008, -0/+29I need to start selling drugs.
- Shawshanksr, on 05/08/2008, -0/+28hey thats a great idea! will i give you my credit card number now?
- PopcornDave, on 05/08/2008, -0/+27And with accommodations that size, it's going to be all your relatives besieging you.

Give out my social?? Are you crazy? - iet2004, on 05/08/2008, -3/+25Or maybe I actually like the city. And I can afford to live there too. And I have a real social life, not Game Night with the Johnsons and the occasional movie at the local multiplex. But that's the suburbs. I actually like the country too. for what it is. I guess i'm very polar like that. Give me the city or give me the middle of nowhere. As long as I don't live down the street from two walmarts, a target and five pulix grocery stores, I'm fine with it.
- richmomz, on 05/08/2008, -1/+23The downside: medieval fortresses have really crappy wi-fi reception. lol
- madmondo, on 05/08/2008, -0/+20That is one of the coolest Asylum I've seen.
- mercimadam, on 05/08/2008, -0/+20If you come to france, we can share the castle.
