100 year old Waco Castle up for auction

Famous Waco Castle Goes to Auction

The Castle reality TV stars Chip and Joanna Gaines made famous by spending three years trying to renovate, is for sale. The famous Waco landmark is being auctioned off with bidding opening July 20, 2023.

The Cottonwood Castle is 6,176 square feet, has four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms. Originally starting construction in 1890, the home was turned into the landmark castle it has become in the early 1900’s. 

The historic home was purchased by the Gaines’s in 2019, who hoped to restore the castle to once again be used as a home. After three years of renovations, chronicled on the show “Fixer Upper: The Castle”, the landmark is once again up for sale.

The castle was opened up for guests to tour in 2022, but now the Gaines’ say they are “ready for someone new to write the next chapter in the historic home’s history”.

The auction will be held through Concierge Auctions.
