I have heard two stories about this castle: 1)"The Castle is actually in Vail, AZ.
It is called Durham Castle. The owner Duane Durham built the castle. Although I have
never been in it. The owner Duane Durham was my landlord and I lived right below the
castle. My brother in law has been in there, and says there is a railroad track all
the way around the castle with a small train on it for his young childeren, which now
should be around 10 or 12 years old at least. Somewhere's inside the gate is a big
stuffed bear that looks like he is about to kill you. I guess quite horrifying. From
what I hear. If you were to go to Colossal Cave they have a telescope to which you can
view the castle."
2)"I have the TRUE info about this castle since it is my friend who lived there, her
father built it. I have been in it and have pics for your website if you are interested.
It's name is "Aqua Verde" which means green water- go figure. It was indeed built by
Duane Durham. Laura (his daughter) is my friend. I spent Christmas eve 2000 there with
Laura, her husband, her sister, and Mr. Durham and his wife. The girls are grown now and
Mrs. Durham has a very impressive collection of cast Iron stoves. She is also an
extraordinary decorator as Mr. Durham is as well. The entire castle has different themes
throughout and is a sight to see."
The truth that I know is it is actually there; you can see it plainly from I-10; is sits
atop a tall hill; and my youngest brother was actually in the castle - I believe for a
high school graduation.
