Located in Cornwall, Ontario, this home has 15 rooms — more than enough to fit an entire royal family inside (but not including the American cousins).

It's also located just steps away from the St. Lawrence River, which would make a fitting moat for any castle.

The interior of the house is a mix of modern and rustic, complete with a fireplace for cold winter nights.
