Canyonwoods Castle Lets You Live the Royal Life in the Midst of Montana’s Stunning Vistas

Canyonwoods Castle
Engel & Volkers

Beyond the wood and iron gate, a winding path illuminated by shining lanterns leads to the stone castle. Surrounded by tree-covered hills, this retreat is tucked away from the city lights, offering plenty of privacy. It’s a unique and romantic setting, but this is no Disney princess castle. This is a thoroughly masculine manse set in rugged Montana. Canyonwoods Castle has everything to make your royal dreams come true. 

Located just outside of the exclusive Ironwood neighborhood of Billings, Canyonwoods Castle takes luxury living up a notch. Pulling inspiration from the classic “Big Sky Country” slogan, everything about this home is bigger. The garage can hold up to 14 cars. There is over 30,000 square feet of living space. There are 10 en-suites, with a total of 15 full baths and 4 half baths interspersed throughout the residence. One pool isn’t enough for royalty, so this home has three, one indoor and two outside — both flanked by fire cauldrons. There’s even a swim-up bar. A sprawling estate such as this requires plenty of land to roam, and Canyonwoods Castle boasts an impressive 98 acres to enjoy the impressive outdoor amenities Montana is known for.

This new construction castle is asking an eyebrow-raising $13,950,000. High-priced living comes with luxuries us average folks can’t even begin to imagine, making this a dream spot to settle down in for the lucky future buyer. You can get ready for hunting season at the indoor shooting range, accessed via two sets of bank vault doors. There is also a golf simulator and a two-lane bowling alley — all there to help pass the time on rainy days. Or take in a flick in the private 12-seat movie theater. Of course the whole point of living in Montana is to enjoy the stunning outdoors, and naturally Canyonwoods Castle has that covered through a series of private walking trails.

The amenities don’t stop there. The castle features things like radiant heated outdoor patios and even a heated driveway to melt away the piles of snow Montana receives every winter. Inside, the stunning spiral staircase in the grand family room can take you to the top, but why walk when you can use the circular glass elevator? Both custom built, the stairs were designed to wrap around the elevator — a unique feature that most other luxuries homes don’t have.

Inside and out, Canyonwoods Castle was designed in a classic mountain rustic decor. Rooms are grand lodge style, with gigantic fireplaces, massive chandeliers, and plenty of wood and iron accents. Nothing was overlooked when designing this home and it truly is a dream castle – there’s even a drawbridge and a moat. Welcome home, your highness. 

Canyonwoods Castle is currently listed with Dawn Maddux of Engel & Volkers Western Frontier. Visit TopTenRealEstateDeals.com for more historic, spectacular and celebrity homes and real estate news and Celebrity Home Video Tours.

Don’t ruin your cigars: here’s how to properly season a new humidor
Seasoning secrets every cigar lover could use

If you're a newcomer to the world of cigars or just bought a brand-new humidor, you'll need to season it. And no, I'm not saying to add salt and pepper to it. If you've never heard of it, you might ask, "What is seasoning for a humidor?"

Don't think you need to flavor the box or anything — seasoning is really about getting the wood inside your humidor so as not to rob your cigars of precious moisture. Easy to understand, and getting it done is relatively straightforward as well. The trick is figuring out the "why," and we'll get into that in a bit. But let's first discuss seasoning a humidor.

The NBA’s ultimate celebration tool: The victory cigar
A look at the players and coaches who smoke to celebrate

Sports are synonymous with celebration. After winning the biggest trophy of their lives, athletes want to indulge in the payoff that comes with seeing their dreams realized. Teams go into the locker room, where a waterfall of champagne hits them in the eyes, and swimming goggles seem to be a requirement, lest you walk around on the best night of your life half blind. While drinking is often the activity of choice after winning a championship, the NBA has an alternative symbol of greatness that other sports don't use nearly enough: the victory cigar.

Basketball is a team game, but it's also an individual canvas for solo superstardom. After winning an NBA championship, the coaches and players who sit atop the throne have long smoked a cigar in the locker room, during the parade, or even on the bench before the clock has hit zero. There's nothing quite like a good stogie to signify the ultimate win over the rest of the league, but how did the victory cigar get so ingrained in NBA championship celebrations? We want to take a walk down memory lane and look at some of the historical moments and people who made the cigar what it is within the NBA today.

The best medical shows of all time to binge now
From ER to The Pitt, these are the best medical shows ever made
Noah Wyle in the Pitt

Throughout TV's long history, the medical drama has occupied a somewhat unique place in the landscape. Medical shows are often some of the most reliable on TV precisely because there's so much drama built in to working in a hospital.

Personally, I've found the medical drama to be deeply comforting for years, even if I have no desire to be a doctor myself. Understanding the stress of people in the healthcare profession is fascinating in and of itself.
