From the Zillow listing:
The historic 129-year-old Cottonland Castle in Waco, TX has returned to the market! Since the purchase four years ago, much behind-the-scenes work has been completed and this iconic property has been painstakingly disassembled where necessary, materials meticulously cataloged and carefully preserved. This magical German-style stone castle needs a new guiding hand to complete the work so lovingly begun by the current owner. The lucky buyer will one day be able to reveal the 9-foot oak front door (weighing 400 lbs), elaborate Honduran mahogany mill-work, fine quartersawn oak, intricate diamond-paned windows, eight fireplaces (one of carved French Caen stone and another of pink granite) and exquisite light fixtures all of which have been thoughtfully protected. There is still much to do to complete a renovation of this magnitude, however, once completed “The Castle” – as Wacoans fondly refer to it – will once again shine brightly! Serious inquiries only.
