Executive Summary
Where Whimsy Meets Wealth-Building Potential!
Tucked behind Laurelwood Golf Course in the coveted South Hills, this is not just a property—it’s a rare income-producing asset.
Originally built in 1975 yet rich with centuries-old charm, this one-of-a-kind castle has been transformed into a high-performing short-term rental generating over $100,000 annually (up by 25% this year so far), with four potential rentable spaces designed to maximize revenue and guest experience.
Based on current performance, this asset offers an estimated 6.4% cap rate (and rising with this year's numbers), positioning it as a compelling opportunity for investors seeking both yield and long-term appreciation. The current production is more than satisfactory but, there is still room to maximize even more!
Proven Income. Documented Performance.
According to the 2025 earnings report:
- Gross Earnings: $100,917+ annually
- Net Payout: $97,091+ after fees
- Cleaning, maintenance and property taxes = roughly $20,000.00
- 319 nights booked (2025) with consistent year-round demand
Revenue is diversified across:
- The Castle (primary residence)
- The Cottage (detached ADU)
- Combined bookings (premium and diverse experience offerings)
- Detached garage is untapped income potential as it is not currently being rented out
This is not a speculative Airbnb—it is a fully operational, income-generating asset with a track record.
The Asset Breakdown:
The Castle | 2,020 SQFT | 3 Levels
A fully immersive guest experience featuring:
- Vaulted beamed ceilings & dramatic stonework
- Gourmet kitchen with oversized island & granite counters
- Tower wing bedroom with additional flex space above and two more bedrooms upstairs
- Designated laundry room with it's own exterior entry
- Finished basement studio with private entrance, kitchenette & bath ( Can be closed off from main castle to be it's own rentable space)
Detached ADU | 532 SQFT
- Full kitchen, bathroom & upstairs bedroom
- Ideal for independent bookings or extended stays
Additional Value-Add Features:
- Garage is converted into a workspace currently but could easily be a game room, rentable storage or it's own studio with the addition of a bathroom (future expansion potential)
- 3 fireplaces + efficient mini-split systems
- Hot tub / EV-ready potential
- Private and wooded in the heart of South Eugene (premium guest appeal)
Why This Investment Works:
In today’s short-term rental landscape, uniqueness drives premium pricing and occupancy. While standard homes compete on price, this property competes on experience.
A castle isn’t just rare—it’s market-resistant since it's the experience the guests are after. Guests don’t compare it to anything else… because they can’t.
The Opportunity
For the investor:
- A turnkey, income-producing property with strong historical performance, multiple revenue streams, and brandable identity.
For the visionary:
- A personal retreat that pays for itself—where lifestyle and leverage align.
This is the kind of property that doesn’t sit in a portfolio… it defines it.
