Interesting Facts About Castle Waterford
In 2005, a custom home builder constructed a replica of Ireland’s famed Castle Waterford for use as his family’s private residence in north Texas.
By 2018, most of the home builder’s children had grown and married. So he sold the estate to a family of llama ranchers desiring to share the beauty of this unusual property with others.
In 2019, the ranchers opened the property to the public by reservation only for Llama Walks on the castle trail, & for educational sessions about llamas in the castle barn.
Early in 2021, the family completed construction of a wedding & event venue that faces the replica Irish castle. This venue opened in the fall of 2021 hosting weddings and events.
