Construction began on the castle which is about 622-square-meter in 1890 and ended in 1913. For the past 20 years, it has been uninhabited even though there have been efforts to renovate it. The castle is three stories with a tower, eight fireplaces, servant’s quarters, and a basement.

New reports have it that the Cottonland Castle was put up for $425,000, but the actual sale price has not been disclosed.
