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.

Elevate your elegance: Choosing your first cigar
Face, Head, Person

Earlier this year, I was strolling the streets of New York and ended up sitting in the Carnegie Club with an Old Fashioned in one hand and a cigar in the other while My Way by Frank Sinatra played from a speaker flanking leather-bound books behind the couch I had been using as my perch. It was my first cigar, but it led to a slight obsession that recently found me on the back deck of a lodge in Kenya, staring at Mount Kilimanjaro and smoking a stick while giraffes meandered by. Admittedly, there has been no intention in my budding hobby; I am aimlessly choosing the cigars that look good (the ones that look like those smoked by Arnold or Stallone in the movies, obviously). But I have decided to approach these in a new way, with a little help from my friends over at La Aurora, who graciously decided to navigate my ignorance with some info compiled by Brand Manager John Gaglio, with input from Master Blender Manuel Ynoa, CEO Ed McKenna, and Brand Manager Elvis Batista.

FIFA’s Gianni Infantino Is Uglifying the Beautiful Game With $20 Billion Plot — But the Global Soccer Community’s Punching Back
People, Person, Crowd

For the better part of two decades, perhaps even more, corruption has allegedly run rampant within FIFA. Sepp Blatter, in particular, became the face of alleged extortion schemes, and he operated with impunity while at the helm of the organization for 17 years, from 1998 until his forced resignation in 2015 amid an FBI corruption probe. He’s banned for life from all football-related FIFA activities. If you’re new to the organization’s alleged deep connection to corruption, Netflix offers a brilliant 2022 documentary, FIFA Uncovered. In that documentary, Gianni Infantino appears in his previous capacity as Secretary General of UEFA (2009-2016) and later as the newly elected FIFA president, who vowed to root out corruption and hand the beautiful game back to the people where it belongs.

That, as it turns out, was all wishful thinking.

Escobar Cigars, Co-Owned by Nas, Drops Four-Profile Robusto House Blend Collection
Blade, Knife, Weapon

Imagine that, Nas is getting closer to ruling the cigar world. The legendary rapper’s Escobar Cigars, which he co-owns, is making waves with the launch of a new four-profile House Blend collection. The launch is in partnership with Cigar Chief, one of North America’s largest premium cigar retailers.

The Manual has not yet had the chance to do a taste review (a pack is on the way), but Escobar Cigars says the four-profile House Blend collection (Maduro, Premium Blend Connecticut, Habano, and Connecticut Robusto) “has its own distinct wrapper, filler, and strength profile,” and that “all four are rolled in 5 x 52 Robusto format using classic Cubano entubado construction.”
