Modern fantasy castle auction in Oregon
If you have the $2.5 million reserve, you can get into the estimated $6.5 mil DecaroAuctions.com auction for an Oregon fairy-tale castle.
Melissa McPhail was the author of the expansive epic-fantasy series A Pattern of Shadow & Light. She originally imagined a place where she could write and create, with the longer ambition of welcoming artists from around the world into a setting that offered the same freedom—a castle for creativity.
Sadly, she passed away in 2022 before it was completed in 2023. The estate is now being put up for auction by her surviving husband.
I find it interesting how many of these kinds of grand capstone projects are started by wealthy individuals that often never see them completed. Steve Jobs started his famous yacht. It’s a reminder to treasure each day because the plans of tomorrow may all come to nothing.
When their breath departs, they return to the earth;
Psalm 146
on that very day their plans perish.
