Despite a number of efforts to renovate the castle in the last two decades, it has sat vacant until now. Construction on this gorgeous piece of Texas history began in 1890 and took 23 years to finish. The purchase by the Gaines comes shortly after their announcement that they intended to open a coffee shop as part of their Magnolia kingdom. However, it’s unclear whether the castle will be the home of that concept. It presently consists of primary living space in addition to three bedrooms and three bathrooms, according to the realtor’s listing, with a total of 6,700 square feet.

A Magnolia company spokesman stated that the couple has long had an admiration for this prominent piece of property and, on prior occasions, made offers to purchase it. Recently, the Waco Tribune-Herald reported that Cottonland Castle was put up for sale at a list price of $425K. However, the sale price at which the Gaines purchased it has not been disclosed.
