Chip and Joanna Gaines are a beloved Texas-based couple known for their hit HGTV show Fixer Upper and their successful company Magnolia Homes. The couple met while attending Baylor University and quickly became a dynamic duo in the world of home renovation and design.
One of their most notable projects was the renovation of Cottonland Castle, a historic landmark in Waco, Texas. The castle, which the Gaines family now calls home, was purchased by Chip and Joanna in 2018. Built in 1913, the castle had fallen into disrepair before the Gaines family took on the task of restoring it to its former glory.
The couple’s dedication to preserving the castle’s original design elements while adding modern touches was evident in the final reveal. The castle boasts 4,300 square feet of living space, four bedrooms, and a pool, making it a true fairytale abode.
Although the castle was listed for auction with a price tag of $2.9 million, Chip and Joanna ultimately decided not to sell. The castle is now open to the public for guided walking tours and is set to be sold to a lucky buyer looking to reside in Waco’s historic Castle Heights neighborhood.
Chip and Joanna Gaines continue to inspire fans with their passion for home renovation and design, and their dedication to preserving historic landmarks like Cottonland Castle. Their story is a true testament to the power of hard work, creativity, and a shared love for creating beautiful spaces.
