*Winter months* The Castle is large and is located at the top of a mountain. It is concrete, stone and steel and can be chilly in a few common areas during the winter. The weather can be unpredictable. Beautiful one day and a blizzard the next. Snow plowing may not be able to keep up with a storm. If you are mildly resilient then the Castle is perfect for you!

Gated with security, fire and surveillance systems.
