Selling a Castle View…Did you know this?

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Success Real Estate

methoni castle, hellas villasWe have many buildable plots of land with a view of the Mediterranean and a peninsula with a castle sitting on the end of it.  It's a view I thought was only in fairy tales.  So I began to think - it's one thing to sell a sea view like this one, looking over an island and the blue warm Mediterranean, but add a castle to that and it synergizes the beauty!  You can't get a castle view back home in the states.

Screech!!!!  Scratch that-

Wow, do I stand corrected.  Or rather, I sit corrected.  You see, nowhere where I grew up were there castles, but just to be sure before I started my blog, I did a search.  All I had to do was read one site, www.dupontcastle.com and my breath was taken away.  There are hundreds!!!  Did you all know this?  I used to think castle and I would think Europe, but no way- I'm very wrong.  America has some amazing castles to be proud of. 

 

Better rewrite that tag line now.  Sea view and Medieval Castle view.  There, at least if Americans want to see something different and are tired of all their beautiful castles, they can come over here to Methoni, Messinia, Peloponnese, Greece, and see something new...ah hem...old, that we have to offer here.

 

Hey that saying is always ringing true to me, "You learn something new everyday." Thank goodness!

 

Cheers!  Randy

Randy, I love castles - have a personal lightbox in istockphotos called "Blue Moon" where I save pictures I find of castles.  Would love to take three separate European/world trips - 1) visiting the great cathedrals, 2) visiting the great art museums and 3) visiting castles.

Looking forward to your posts and welcome to Active Rain.

Hello Randy I've received my I.R.E.S. Designation in Vancouver, BC, Canada and I noticed that you have similar designations.  I'm messaging you because I want to expand my international connections.  I'm presently building a larger network so that your listings can be featured in my city (for an international exposure), and mine can be featured by you.  Presently I have approximately 20 listings which might be of interest to you.  

Interested?  Look forward to chatting some more with you with respect to co-listing each other's properties, if you are interested in speaking further?  Cheers, Jark.
