I've already got so many ideas, i dont even kniw where to start! I may make a couple videos and do a unit on each level since they're all different! And I love that you put a bistro on the bottom.
Thank you so much for doing this!
The build looks great!

And sometimes, a man's castle is his home! Stonetroll Keep offers everything the little medieval family could want! Generous great hall, three bedroom suites, and guaranteed to be the envy of all the surrounding peasants. There is plenty of growth potential, nooks and niches to add hobby or skill items, and of course you can always go down with more cellar space. Add a nectary, or even a dungeon!
For BuildnShare challenge 194: the Hawthorne Project, but will probably also end up in the Dragon Valley Medieval Makeover!
The budget was 45,000, and if you're wondering how I got SO MANY WALLS into that budget, I totally cheated on an epic scale: there are actually very, very few walls in this build. The majority of the 'walls' are actually foundation/frieze placements! It was a pain to build a 5-story building using only this method, but the result was an awesome castle with nice, thick walls, and done very cheaply!

Stonetroll Keep is such a great build. I love how well you thought out each of the areas and there are some really cool touches. The master suite is my fav room and I also really like the kitchen with that neat fireplace stove. Well done

I really love A Man's Home is his Castle! I can't believe you made that so cheap! Using foundations? Wow, I have no idea how you can do that!
Your use of fog emitters to have special effects (like the fires) is VERY cool. I don't tend to think about putting special effects in places, but it can really make a build more interesting!

I still owe you the tutorial on how to make that castle, but again, game issues... le sigh.
@ciane and @rosemow thank you both for your lovely comments! And yes, too much fun with skeletons. I had to make it a *little* creepy after all
..
I love the walk way you made from the entrance to the mausoleum and the plaques are a nice touch
Very cool lot indeed. I too love the idea of the repurposed church. And those catacombs... scary place indeed. Is the skeleton CC? Well done on this build

I went a bit further and decided she also hated to have to tend a yard with mowing or weeding, so the entire back yard is either rock, wood, or water, with the plants being carefully contained in a few planters, and some water plants in the shallow pond which flows into the pool and acts as a natural filter.
Inside, the home features an open living area with a futon-inspired sofa, a low coffee table, and lots of pillows for maximum comfort around the fireplace. There is also a two-story bay of windows with window seats. The kitchen has the usual appliances, plus a dish washer and coffee maker. The dining area has a table for four beside a 'green wall' where an indoor plant that has grown quite all over the shelves there. Also on the main floor is a powder room just off the entry hall and next to the stairs.
Upstairs has the main bedroom and en suite, plus a large loft rec room - the one space where she can not worry about keeping things in order. Here she can chill and watch tv, do aerobics, play her bass, or work on business stuff, all while enjoying the natural light and view of her back yard. If she ever needs it, this area can be framed in to become a future guest bed and bath.
The master suite also has a view overlooking the back yard, with curtains for privacy when required, creating a cozy bay window. Cushions and pillows soften the edges of the master bedroom. A glass-enclosed shower with built-in seat, stone floor, and toilet room offer a sense of indulgence in the en suite.
The back yard uses three levels to separate the spaces. The main deck off the kitchen has an outdoor shower, training dummy, and yoga mat for exercising in the fresh air. The raised deck juts over the pond below and has seating for four, next to a juice bar. The ground level has a fire pit and grill. There is also a partially curtained lounge area surrounded by the pool, offering seclusion and relaxation to anyone willing to get wet to get there.
All in all, the Inside Out offers plenty of natural materials and outdoor living options for the down-to-earth homeowner who loves to entertain small, intimate groups.

I went to FireFox, as I was on Chrome, and I couldn't see the pics that way (logged out) either!
So... my best guess is that anyone lurking and not logged in can NOT see pics in a spoiler. Please let me know if you can confirm or deny that. Nope, I came back to Firefox later and the pics were there then. Weird!
When I exited the BnS thread to the Builders forum and then entered your thread, logged in, I could then see the pics. It is amazing how things load some times and not other times!
Anyway, what I like most is the landscaping. And, you did squeeze a lot in for the budget.
