Ever dreamed of living in your own castle?

Jo Haywood Reporter from Homed

Hey neighbours, if you've ever imagined what it would be like to live in your own castle, check this out.

Dot Smith has realised her childhood dream of living in a castle, by creating her own, with her husband Neil, in Oamaru. You may have seen it under under construction, well now you can see what it's like inside.

Dot and Neil are among the many Kiwis who've brought their dream homes to life, including these incredible examples from around the country. Have you created your dream home, either from scratch or by renovating? If so, we'd love to hear your story. Email us at Homed@stuff.co.nz.
