The minimum lease at $45,000/month is 24 months. This transaction, at the tenant’s discretion, can also be structured as a long-term ground lease. In a ground lease structure, the land underlying the building structure is net leased on a long-term basis by the owner of the land to the tenant. In this scenario, the Owner offers a ground lease option a minimum lease term of 468 months (39 years) for $7,999,999. At this price, you can be the proud owner of the Castle for nearly a third of its appraised value (if appraised with the land) or less than half the appraised value of the Castle without the land. If calculated on a rental basis purely, the tenant’s rental rate is less than $17,100.00 per month.
