Castle in the Clouds
Castle in the Clouds Review
This wonderful mountaintop estate was built in 1913-14 without nails. The elaborate mansion has 16 rooms, eight bathrooms, and doors made of lead. Owner Thomas Gustave Plant spent $7 million, the bulk of his fortune, on this project and died penniless in 1941. A tour includes the mansion and the Castle Springs spring water facility on this 5,200-acre property overlooking Lake Winnipesaukee; there's also hiking and pony and horseback rides.
