After pursuing the project for two decades and finally getting their hands on it, it would be understandable if Chip and Joanna Gaines decided that their stunningly restored castle should be the family's forever home after all. It took three years total to complete, with Joanna telling Entertainment Tonight: "We bought it, we planned a year of design, research, figuring out where we needed to get the materials, and then once we finally pushed go it was almost a year of construction."
The project dragged on significantly longer than either of them was expecting, with Chip admitting, "This thing took on a life of its own. It took longer, it took more money." However, the intention was always to list it for the right price and (hopefully) make a profit on the sale. And, in June 2023, the couple put Cottonland Castle up on Zillow for a cool $2.9 million.
The photos demonstrate, as if any proof were needed, just how much work the "Fixer Upper" stars put into lovingly restoring the castle. And naturally, their own company, Magnolia Realty, is handling the sale.
