It has been a while since social media buzzed with popular ‘Game of Thrones’ phrases and memes … we know you miss it. If you haven’t seen the show, you’re probably wondering why Jon Snow doesn’t know anything, why that Khaleesi girl’s name keeps growing, and why winter always seems to be coming. So, we thought we would jumpstart the GoT insanity by highlighting a few U.S. castles you can actually buy, if you have the coin. Each one would be the ultimate place to throw a Game of Thrones season premiere party on April 12.
A Baratheon Abode
Price: $800,000
Listed by: JR Allgower, Best Properties
This California castle is the real deal. If you didn’t know that it was built in 1977, you’d think this estate was a perfectly preserved medieval time capsule. The stone abode has stained glass windows, curved staircases and plenty of shield décor to match the theme. And what castle would be complete without a drawbridge and a freshwater creek! We bet Stannis already put an offer in.
Lannister Luxury
Price: $2,249,000
Listed by: Steve Doane, Better Homes & Gardens, Winans
It’s not a stretch to imagine the Lannisters living in Texas. This opulent mansion has a grand foyer, library, fireplace and a home theater. It is certainly worthy of royalty … even if they keep trying to kill every character we love.
The Modern Day Riverlands
Price: $2,700,000
Listed by: Anne Koons, BHHS Fox & Roach-Cherry Hill
Who knew New Jersey had castles for sale! This elegant estate sits right along a beautiful creek, and was built in 1836! The interior of the home is incredibly opulent, with original plasterwork details and crown moldings. This home would be a natural fit for the Riverlands, but we just can’t imagine the red wedding happening at such a beautiful location!
For the Girl with All of Those Names
Price: $48,800,000
Listed by: Bob Hurwitz, Hurwitz James Company
This palace looks like it could be in any one of the cities Khaleesi now owns. We’re pretty sure there would be enough space for her three dragons in this 47,182-square-foot castle. She could probably also fit the entire army and all of those horses in there, too. She can be so hospitable!
The Greyjoys’ Vacation Home in Rhode Island
Price: $16,900,000
Listed by: Melanie Delman, Lila Delman Real Estate
If the Greyjoys ever had a home away from home, this would be it. Even though it’s a bit too luxurious for their tastes, it’s the perfect location to dock a ship for a few days to, you know, decompress. All of that war stuff can be so stressful. And if they ever feel like entertaining, this 15-bedroom oceanfront estate certainly has enough room for guests!
California’s Very Own Vale
Price: $16,996,000
Listed by: Cheri Stanley, Sotheby’s International Realty
This Napa Valley castle would have been perfect for Lysa Arryn; too bad she had to go flying. She would have enjoyed the seclusion offered by the 46 acres and the gorgeous views of the surrounding mountains. Oh well, one aunt’s castle is another niece’s new home.
If the Starks Could Do it Over, They’d Live Here
Price: $6,900,000
Listed by: Nancy Wolfe, LIV Sotheby’s International Realty
The Starks would love Colorado living. Instead of dreading winter, they could look forward to the ski season! We bet Arya would kill it on the slopes. This six-bedroom home has plenty of space for the dwindling family, especially after Season 4. No one will have to share a room now. What a relief!
