Now you have a chance to buy one of Kansas City’s most famous houses at a reduced price. Known as Camelot, the 15,000-square-foot castle sits on three lots overlooking the east side of Weatherby Lake. It was previously on the market for $7,8 million, but now can be yours for $6.8 million.
Designed by Howard Nearing, built by Jeff Martinique and decorated by John Rufenacht for the late Lantz Welch, who made his fortune as an acclaimed trial lawyer, this magnificent 5 bedroom, 10 bathroom residence is inspired by Ashford Castle, a medieval home once owned by the Guinness family that had been turned into a five-star luxury hotel.
