On a bluff overlooking an expanse of blue lake, this citadel sits awaiting its next knight in shining armor.
At the edge of Idaho’s Frandsen Forest, a mansion-sized residential castle has hit the market, and can now be yours.
Known as Castle Von Frandsen, the property originally listed for $7 million last July, a price tag that has since been reduced to its current ask of $4.5 million.
The “nearly famous and truly iconic waterfront estate,” as the listing describes, is set on close to 10 acres and includes two buildable waterfront lots.
“It might as well have been plucked from a fairytale and placed on the shore of one of the most stunning lakes in Idaho,” broker Brenda Burk, who shares the listing with fellow Coldwell Banker Schneidmiller Realty agent Danny Davis, told The Post. “A castle in Idaho is definitely something you don’t see every day, and having the chance to explore it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
The property overlooks Lake Pend Oreille.
The home is located close to Sandpoint, Idaho.

The two-bedroom, three-bathroom fortress — built from enormous timber beams harvested from the surrounding woodlands, and granite quarried in British Columbia and hand-chiseled onsite — measures in at 8,000 square feet of medieval-tinged living quarters.
A stone wall surrounds the perimeter, and the three-story abode can be accessed either by foot or sea, utilizing the private dock in Lake Pend Oreille, the 43-mile-long lake that’s the nation’s fifth deepest.
An opening in the cliff above the dock is the entry to a stone tunnel that leads to an interior plunge pool.

The estate is seriously committed to the medieval look.
The timber comes from the surrounding forest.
The home is listed as a two-bedroom.
Behind the main structure, a lone turret stands guard slightly deeper in the trees, offering a quality guest house opportunity or an ideal place to pretend to be Rapunzel.
Not looking to reign in total solitude? Fear not: The city of Sandpoint is “minutes” away, as are the surrounding natural wonders of Schweitzer Mountain, a popular skiing destination, and the trailhead for Roman Nose Peak.
