Sure, European castles pop up on the market like dandelions between the sidewalk cracks, but this particular Disney princess homestead, the 16th-century Château Saint-Elix, may be the only one on the market once owned by a famous mistress of a French monarch. Madame de Montespan, who famously became mighty friendly with King Louis XIV, once reigned over these 20,236 square feet of turreted interiors. The five-story castle, asking about $40M and recently spotlighted on Arch Digest, sits on a private park parcel between the Atlantic and the Pyrénées, boasting 10 bedrooms, terra cotta floors, and toile like you wouldn't believe.
