There are plenty of castles for sale across Europe, but few provide the opportunity for prospective owners to play the role of a feudal lord. It's the difference between living like a prince and living as a prince. Now a castle has come onto the market to let you do the latter.
The Umbrian Castle di Sismano, which has been in the hands of the princes of Corsini (two became popes) for 1,054 years, is being sold, along with 850 hectares (2,100 acres) of farmland that comprises forests, fields, grazing pastures, and 18 acres of olive groves.
The estate, which sits in Italy's center, an hour and a half's drive from Rome, also comes with 17 farmhouses and a housing development with seven villas.
