I had a business call out there, and the house was built by a stone mason over a decade ago. There were two silos on the property, and he faced this one with stone. They use the two landings as diving boards for the pool.

Best repurposed grain silo? Tattoine. Seriously. With the exception of the Skywalker homestead and the purpose built set, all those Kasr structures were intended to store grain.

Those were the specialty sets constructed for the film.

I'm fairly sure if I tried really hard, sold alot of my kit and did a ton of overtime, I could get a mortgage for this place.

It's not really a castle, but for that price it's close enough!
