No fairytale is complete without a castle. While castle sightings in Texas are admittedly rare, the recent listing of a $4.75 million manor with floor-to-ceiling stone walls proves that storybook architecture can thrive in Fort Worth. With French doors and panoramic views of Eagle Mountain Lake, this one-of-a-kind estate blends European romance with Texas-sized luxury.

The Fort Worth Castle With Scottish Roots
Built in the mid-1990s by Fort Worth attorney Eugene de Bullet, who passed away earlier this year, the “castle on Eagle Mountain Lake,” as it was locally known, was modeled after Buchanan Castle, his ancestral family’s estate in Stirlingshire, Scotland. During a visit to the ruined castle, he photographed the remaining turrets and archways and returned to Texas, determined to recreate its spirit on the shores of his hometown lake.
After nearly a decade searching for the right property and architect, construction began on the shores of Eagle Mountain Lake at 9888 Boat Club Drive. The four-story home was built of hand-cut stone, complete with towers, turrets, and medieval-inspired detailing. Though not an exact replica, the similarities between the original structure and the new manor are evident, giving Fort Worth the closest expression of Scottish castle architecture in the region.

Set on just over three acres of gated waterfront, the residence spans more than 6,500 square feet of stone craftsmanship and architectural grandeur. The estate features towers, turrets, and expansive doorways that offer an escape into another time and era against the lake’s natural backdrop.
Inside, a chef’s kitchen with an oversized island opens into a grand living area anchored by a stone fireplace and framed by floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors that reveal sweeping water views. The primary suite includes dual en suite baths and a private balcony, while several guest suites, a game room with rooftop access, and an indoor pool and spa provide year-round comfort. A private elevator connects all four levels, including a four-car garage below.
Beyond the main home, a carriage house with a full kitchen and balcony, and a secluded guest cottage expand the estate’s versatility. At the water’s edge, a boathouse and deepwater dock complete this extraordinary property
