Castle in the Sky- Overlooking Rapid City
If you are looking for a luxurious, amazing place to stay? This house sits overlooking Rapid City with incredible views, every evening is a picture perfect as the city lights come on.
This quirky house is a fun mix of eclectic and fancy that you will find. A rich builder originally built this to be his "Coup de Grande" but only finished the guest house. You will find high end finishes mixed with eclectic choices. We promise this will be one of the most memorable places you'll ever stay at!
Have you ever wondered what the life of a rich person is like? This house will answer that question for you. Built two decades ago this house was built by an eccentric wealthy person. He had visions of helictoper pads, a mansion attached to this guest house, and many other dreams.
The VIEWS!! This house overlooks Rapid City and all year long it has the most incredible views. Whether it is the elegant beauty of the house inside or the amazing views outside your eyes will be pleased while you are here!
Inside the house as as much of a work of art as it is a place to live. It has amazing finishes such as beautiful wood beams, high ceilings, elegant angles and high end appliances. The king bed in the master bedroom is amazing with the incredible views.
The eclectic side shows itself as there are some things that don't make sense. For example the upstairs doors are 10' tall but the lock mechanism that you can't use a smart lock on the doors. One of the staircases is made of of slate slabs of rock instead of a normal staircase. Instead you will first have to enter through the basement door but the basement entrance was never finished only Framed. Upstairs in the kitchen the pot filler was installed but they never hooked it into a water line so without tearing out drywall to find where the line goes it became cosmetic only. (That is the only thing that doesn't work) but it was such an odd decision to bury the line.
You will have access to the entire house with the exception of the garage. The garage is for the owner only and these is no way to access the garage
