About this property

Unique Luxurious Gothic Castle, gorgeous views of lake/mountain 500 acre estate!

Located atop of a hill, amidst 500 acres with miles of walking & groomed x-country ski trails, outdoor hot tub, & 5000 gallon swimming pool. This extraordinary 11,000 sq. ft. castle has incredible views of Mt. Monadnock from the N & lake/ beach from the South.
Enjoy the solitude & amazing sunsets on this gorgeous property in Rindge, NH. Great for family reunions, retreats, etc. Please note: no weddings, banquets, or receptions, only housing of such.

The castle was built by the owner & completed in 1995. The interior design is unique in it's secret stairways, slate & hardwood floors throughout, Gothic arches w/ faux stone walls, a huge formal yet comfortable living room w/ a marble & granite fireplace offset w/ a gorgeous grand piano, 9 foot ceilings,authentic tapestries & scrolled glass doors that open into a large Wedgwood style dining room offering a recessed ceiling w/ a lighted sunset. The basement bar/game room & third floor playroom will insure that Everyone of all ages will have fun!
The finished basement provides the renter with a professional size foos ball table, full size ping-pong table, professional size pool table, game card table with complete kit, dart board, and full mahogany bar area with with beautifully engraved wood throughout. Includes glassware, washing area, all wooden handcrafted stools and seating for a full house!
All kids will love the 3rd floor play area with a lego table and oodles of legos, games to play, dolls houses, horse stalls, kitchen and dress up area and much much more! Don't forget to jump on the newly upgraded trampoline as well! There is TV and game player access too!
Because we are located on a hill many hours are spent sliding (at your own risk) down the hill for kids from 2-99!
We also provide a huge Cedarworks play set and a treehouse located nearby.
If you need more entertainment head to the beach for a swim or boating, fishing, sunning, or paddle boarding. We also have Volley ball at the beach, corn hole, swim dock, life preservers, and noodles!
Take a walk around the lake to see the dam, and the many trails that are accessible to you (maps are provided).
Take a walk over our bridges and watch for the water fountain starting in the evening by the bridge next to the island (you can view it from the patio at the house!)
After sunset, sit to eat in the dining room and create your own sunset by the dimmer switch and the painted ceiling giving you a beautiful sunset scene! Add to that with the fireplace located in the dining room, living room, library, and master bedroom!
Every bedroom has a wonderful view of the mountain and/or the water as well!
The front of the Castle boasts beautiful flowers in spring and summer and fall, and decorated Christmas trees and lights outside in the trees throughout the yard.
The Castle has secret doorways throughout so don't hesitate to try to find them from the basement all the way to the 3rd floor are doors that are hidden and a joy for many to find!
If you feel you need more excitement, head to the top of the highest touret located on the fourth floor (where the exercise equipment is located) and climber the ladder to look out for a spectacular view of the water and Mount Monadnock. It is truly breathtaking!
We provide fully made beds for all and towels to use during your stay. There are plenty of pots and pans, kitchen utensils and staples if needed.
We hope that you enjoy this property as much as we do when we are here!

About the host

Host profile image
The only entrance to the castle is Sauvola Drive which is off Able Road in Rindge, NH close to the Rindge/Fitzwillaim town line. Google has Hunt Castle at 1000 Sauvola DR.There is a designated Castle Beach marked specifically for you.

This home is our primary residence. Our children grew up in this home and now return to visit with their families. Construction began in the fall 1993 and finished in 1995. John's love of Castles began when he was a young child and grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennslyvania. As an adult he found this beautiful 500+ acreage of land quite by accident in the woods of New Hampshire. The plans to build this home began after much travel throughout, Europe exploring other castles. Today, after our five children have grown up and left this wonderful home, they continue to return to this gorgeous property to come together as a quite large extended family. We continue to celebrate many of the holidays here with our family and have now opened it up to you so that you may enjoy it as much as we do.

The town of Fitzwilliam, approximately 10 minutes away, is famous for it's Antiques. The town of Peterborough ( approximately 20 minute drive or less) well known for the 'Peterborough Players' theatre house, was also the setting for the well known play 'Our Town'. It also has many cozy shops and wonderful restaurants. The bustling city of Keene is great for window shopping, fine dining, and entertainment.
