House Hunters Westeros—A guide to buying property in the Seven Kingdoms

In this edition of House Hunters Westeros, we have a young mother looking to move back to the land of her birth. With three large, fire-breathing children in tow, Daenerys Targaryen has a very specific list of must-haves for her next home. With that in mind, the good folks at Bellacor have prepared this list of potential castles for the Mother of Dragons. It can be used by anyone looking to make the move to the Seven Kingdoms.

For a queen returning to her kingdom, the Red Keep might seem like a natural place to settle, but at $743 million the ancestral seat of House Targaryen is over budget. However, as the guide notes, Cersei’s refusal to pay the Crown’s debts may lead the Iron Bank to repossess her home, and that could lead to a bargain.

Highgarden could also serve. At 292,500 square feet, the castle is second in size only to the Red Keep, and comes in under Dany’s budget. The space should prove sufficient for Dany, her dragons, and the rest of her armada. The Reach’s moderate weather and robust agricultural infrastructure are also pluses.

Our choice might be the Eyrie, which offers a combination of low price (14.8 million), safety (located on top of a mountain), and size (65,000 sq ft). Winterfell and Castle Black are decent bargains, but would likely require more renovation than Daenerys wants, and we aren’t sure the Property Brothers are licensed in Westeros.

And of course, she could keep it in the family by settling on Dragonstone, which is where her ancestors first set up shop when they came to Westeros hundreds of years ago.

Which will she choose? We’ll find out on July 16 during the premiere of the new season of House Hunters Westeros…uh, Game of Thrones.
