Last week, we introduced you to an enchanting home for sale in Toronto's Scarborough Bluff's neighbourhood that looked as if it was plucked from the pages of your favourite fairytale. To which Calgary said: hold my beer.
Now on the market for $9.7 million, this palatial home, dubbed Calgary's iconic castle, is situated on nearly one-acre surrounded by expansive landscaped grounds and is the only completely gated estate in Aspen Heights.

Built in 2010, the home features an elegant facade wrapped entirely in rundle stone that spans the home's two wings and turret in the centre, while the entire property is also bordered by a stone and wrought iron fence and gate for the utmost security and privacy.
