I think they edited a picture of it in the middle of the day to have all the lights on, then they shopped that photo onto a generic sunset photo and thus the lightings all wonky like a late 90's video game.
I actually kind of like the idea of using a folly as a vacation property, but with that location it’ll be completely uninsurable due to hurricane risk and low elevation.
Nail holes? Black mold? Functioning power outlets? Nothing a nice inch thick coat of matte white latex can't fix!
Fun fact, I moved into an apartment once where the landlord had painted the inside of the tub/shower combo to cover the lime scaling. You know what's really slippery when wet, turns out? Latex paint. You know what bubbles up and chips off after a few months of being intermittantly sprayed with hot water and stepped on? Latex paint. So dumb, so pointlessly dangerous. Had to put down traction pads in my damn shower so I didn't break my tailbone or crack my skull. And by the time I moved out, the tub was like 90 percent unpainted anymore and looked a damn mess. Dumb.
Yes, but not that one. I always loved Floop's castle in Spy Kids. I dunno if there's a name for that style of architecture, but sculpted interiors and exteriors make me very happy.
Honestly, more people should embrace "theme park houses". Make life interesting, yanno?

That first picture really does look computer rendered. I'm still not entirely sure it isn't.
That's kinda impressive.

I kinda feel bad for whomever is selling this — it looks like it was probably their dream home.

Fisherman's castle, "considered iconic by some"

The picture on that site is terrible too - it's hidden behind a tree!

If it can withstand attacks by dragons, some weather will not be an issue.

If Harrenhall couldn’t withstand dragons, no way the fisherman’s castle would.

They just hired the same painter every landlord uses.

Is it over-use of Photoshop or really bad HDR?

Tbh the worst part is the regular house and camper next door breaking whatever chance at illusion they started with.

I can absolutely say I want to live in a castle rendered in early '90s CGI. Just..probably not this specific one.

And on basically no land at all. You know the person who did this doesn't believe in climate change, who else would bother?
