Rumor has it (and you know how that goes) that the owner has a phobia about corners. If nothing else, it's a landmark!

It seems out of place, which makes the castle seem REALLY out of place.<br /><br />Both places would be easy to find. If you were giving directions to your friends, you wouldn't have to give the number of your house...just tell them a few details about what the house looks like.Sioux Roslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924021828536277618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-5233797143826616642013-08-05T08:51:35.108-05:002013-08-05T08:51:35.108-05:00It certainly is a striking home.

You'd think they'd have a wide stone path and perhaps a drawbridge?<br /><br />When I was growing up, there was a large adobe hacienda that didn't fit into the neighborhood. I figure it was a vanity house, but the owner had bigger plans.<br /><br />The owner later bought some nearby land and created an entire community that included hacienda-style townhouses. They still look out of place, but we grew accustomed to the adobe and tiled roofs.Kim Lehnhoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516002280882854450noreply@blogger.com
