The current owner is a private family who wanted privacy and a retreat where they could entertain their family, friends or guests. They bought the Castille Creek ranch and over time added features, acreage and some buildings – including a 25,000 square foot recreation building with a fishing pond.
Pulling up to the 32,000-square-foot main house, visitors cross a dramatic, million-dollar curved steel bridge, setting the tone for the impressive castle-like estate.
