It is easy to remember a time where we all dreamed of living in a castle, right? Whether to be a princess high in a tower, or a knight wandering the halls—one thing is for sure: castles rule. Georgia has a few different castles scattered throughout the state, each with their own unique history: Most People Don’t Know These 7 Epic Castles Are Hiding Right Here In Georgia. However, there is one hidden castle in Georgia, shrouded in mystery, that is worth finally having answers about.
There’s a hidden castle in the town of Alpharetta, Georgia, that many people do not know exist.
While one might expect a neck-deep moat fit with crocodiles, there instead is a large, wrought-iron fence guarding the property and the residents inside. But don’t be fooled—there still is a swimming pool surrounding the castle that actually doubles as the moat!
Cagle Castle may look big in the photographs, but in actuality, it’s quite small! Two bedrooms and around 1400 square feet, similar to a smaller apartment some would say.
