Just in time for Halloween! Imagine how the neighborhood kids will react when they show up at your creepy castle to trick-or-treat (you'll have to imagine it, because the kids probably won't make it past your very own...moat)!

It's straight out of a fairytale, or Harry Potter book: a mysterious castle in Woodstock, Connecticut just hit the market for $45 million .

Known as Chrismark Castle, the home has eight bedrooms and comes with 75 acres of land, including its own lake (via Estately).

It's owned by Christopher Mark, the great-grandson of Chicago steel tycoon Clayton Mark Senior.

Mark caused a ruckus in the small town of Woodstock when he bought the parcel and began building the 20-room castle back in 2003. According to Connecticut Magazine, it took 7 years and $4.1 million to build, and people from the town would often stop by for a glimpse. Mark was rumored to have tried to start multiple business on the property, including a modeling business, a bed and breakfast, and a private zoo.

Take the video tour (which includes some more info about the castle's weird history at the end):

I bet it's really welcoming on a stormy night.
