Here's a look at Count Dracula's castle that is currently being sold for $13 million.
According to Elle Décor, the famous Bran Castle in Transylvania also known as the fictional house of Count Dracula was previously listed for $66 million. However, it was later on listed at a much lower price to make it much easier to sell, according to the Financial Times.
The property boasts a 12th century fortress that makes the castle look a bit scary, just like how it was depicted in the famous novel "Dracula."
"The breathtaking structure currently belongs to descendants of Romanian royal family, who have been operating the property as a popular museum. As the country's largest tourist attraction, some half a million people visit its spooky halls every year. But the current owners are getting older and hope to pass the estate on to someone who will continue to build up its destination status," the publication noted.
Meanwhile, according to FT, local residents and the Romanian state are given priority when it comes to buying Count Dracula's castle. The property will be advertised on the site for the next 30 days before foreign bidders and buyers will be allowed to purchase it.
"Only citizens from countries in the European Economic Area are entitled to buy land in Romania. One popular option for buyers is to set up a limited company in Romania through which to purchase the home, although this will incur higher taxes," the site said.
If you are interested in buying Count Dracula's castle, there are several things you need to take into consideration. First, you need to consider your location, and whether or not living in Transylvania will be beneficial for you.
Second, you also need to take into account the purpose you have for buying a castle. After all, it's a tourist destination and not just an ordinary home.
