Hmmm? Apparently that is the question. Too bad the commute is so far.

Why not a crappy, sprawling castle estate?

I suppose one could opt for the best of both worlds.

Very few castle like structures in Canada tho, and doubt very many foreign castles are all that crappy.. but never know, there might be a neglected run down one somewhere that’s a total goldilocks.

I'd assume the bulk of them are rundown unless the family that owns it is especially wealthy. Having wealth from ownership doesn't mean one's got the income to cover upkeep.

There's an old trope about poor aristocrats because of how common that situation is.

House poor. If you have land but no money you are land poor.

Are the castles in a livable condition? Or are they just piles of stone a hundred miles from anywhere?
