Stunning $2.2million medieval-themed Texas mansion looks like something out of Game of Thrones
- Stunning home in Austin, Texas, was bought in 1992 by two artists who have been working on it ever since
- Pair decorated in a medieval theme with stunning interiors that including paintings, swords and stonework
- The garden is even more stunning, and won Good Morning America's national backyard competition in 2012
They say that a man's home is his castle - and with stained-glass windows, artwork on the ceilings, lion statues and a gothic interior, this abode certainly fits the bill.
The 5,500-square-foot home is located in Austin, Texas, and comes with a whopping $2.2million price tag.
Featuring four bedrooms and four bathrooms, the home's Medieval-style does not stop inside - there is also a 14th century stone cottage away from the main residence, and the garden is perhaps the most spectacular part.
Game of Clones: This stunning Texas mansion, which is owned by two artists, looks like something out of the television show
Work of art: The artists bought the home back in 1992 and have been working on it ever since, but have now put it up for sale
The ceiling of the main bedroom is covered in intricate art, which was worked on by the owners of the property
The bedroom also has stunning stained glass windows around the door, as well as intricate stonework detailing
Fit for a king: The home's stunning medieval theme and bespoke touches mean it has been valued at $2.2million
The devil is in the detail: Even the doors of the home have been intricately carved, while the windows in this nook make it appear like a medieval chapel
While the house is heavily influenced by medieval architecture, it also contains nods to eastern themes, such as the large Buddha statue in the kitchen (right)
The listing agent said most requests so far have been from people who want to take a tour of the stunning property
That exterior won second prize in Good Morning America's national backyard competition in 2012, and features a swimming pool that is surrounded by trees and columns that look like they could have come from ancient Greece.
According to reports, the current owners, both artists, bought the property in 1992, and have since worked on the intricate details of the home - from the paintings to the carpeting.
Stephanie Nick, the listing agent for Sotheby's International Realty, said: 'Artistically created, the king of this castle shows his labor of love for his wife and family as if he was living in another era.
'It's a very unique property, and most requests have been from individuals who want to explore the grounds.
'Obviously, we can't open the doors to the public, but we just started to market this special home to someone who hopefully will share the same desire and passion as the current owners.
'When the sun goes down, the magic starts to happen. It's amazing!'
This guest bedroom appears to have a more eastern theme, judging by the wooden screen tucked behind the bed
Another bedroom takes on a few Arabic touches, with the geometrically decorated lamps hanging either side of the bed
This bathroom, one of four in the property, returns to the medieval theme with a knight and princess adoring the wall
A Buddha's head, wooden screen, dark woodwork and what appear to be orchids give this bathroom an Asian vibe
The house also comes with a large entertaining space, with disco lights and even a glitterball suspended above a dancefloor
The rather odd-looking room, coated in purple suede, features another of the home's stunning artworks
Princely touches: While the home is undoubtedly stunning, the garden is even more impressive - which is no small feat
Award-winning: The property's garden won Good Morning America's national backyard competition in 2012
All the extras: As well as four bedrooms and bathrooms, a guest house and a large garden, the property also has a pool
While the property is all medieval inside, the exterior is a more toned down, which is perhaps a good thing for the neighbors
