Castle in the Clouds, Mountaintop estate in Moultonborough, United States
The Castle in the Clouds spans 5,294 acres and features a 16-room mansion offering views of Lake Winnipesaukee and the Ossipee Mountains.
Thomas Plant, a millionaire shoe manufacturer, constructed this American Craftsman style mansion between 1913 and 1914 as a gift for his wife Olivia.
The mansion displays early 20th-century craftsmanship with bronze work by William Jackson, electric fixtures by Caldwell, and glass details by Tiffany.
Visitors access the estate via a trolley service from the Carriage House Restaurant, with tickets available in the gift shop until 4:00 PM.
The mansion incorporated advanced technologies for 1914, including an ammonia brine refrigeration system, central vacuum, and specialized needle showers with pressurized water.

New Hampshire reveals a land where the White Mountains have shaped the skyline for millennia. Between northern coniferous forests and southeastern Atlantic coasts, this New England state features waterfalls cascading over granite, glacial passes carved 15,000 years ago, and industrial villages embedded in red stone. Archaeological sites, lighthouses guiding ships on Piscataqua, and estates where early 20th-century artists shaped American identity await discovery. Trails wind through gorges, along lakes reflecting peaks, and through forests where remnants of old foundries remain. Autumn light illuminates maple trees, winter turns ravines into ice amphitheaters, and spring causes waterfalls to roar. From Mount Monadnock to the Shoals Islands, New Hampshire offers a varied geography where each hill, waterfall, and stone bears witness to a deeply rooted natural and human story within the landscape of New England.
