#41 Copenhaver Castle - A Fancy Fixer Upper

Almost every Phoenician kid I know has taken a drive up Red Rock Road on Camelback mountain to catch a glimpse of the castle. If you were chased away by the Phoenix P.D., you got an up close look at one of Phoenix’s most popular and intriguing properties.

The castle was designed after medieval architecture, featuring large stone walls, round towers, and arched windows. In the 1970’s, the castle was built over twelve years by a Phoenix orthodontist.

The castle has sat vacant for a long period of time. In the early 2000’s, the castle was listed for sale at $10,000,000.

Thanks to Phoenix’s crashing housing market, the castle can be yours for a mere $3,500,000. Apparently, there is a lot of interior work needed on this HUD home.

In October 2009, the castle made Forbes list of “America’s Strange Homes for Sale.”
