John Burnell founded the Albion Ale and Porter Brewery in 1870, hoping to make beer in the finest English tradition, however, upon the onset of Prohibition in 1920, the brewery was shut down and the property was abandoned. For anyone interested in restoring the brewery, in 2005 it won approval from the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board to enclose the brewery building and build a grain silo in the front of the property. Members of the Landmarks board urged previous owners to investigate applying the building for status as a National Historic Landmark, which would qualify it for tax credits to help offset costs.

The four bedroom, 2 bathroom dwelling consists of a six story square tower attached to a small building and castle ruins which run into the terraced gardens. The interior has been restored by the current owner and the living area has a spectacular stone fireplace and beautiful natural woodwork. The kitchen has antique cabinetry and tiles, beautiful polished slate counters and new Viking appliances. There are underground springs that produce approximately 10,000 gallons of fresh spring water per day. The water is held in beautiful canals which are housed in underground caves. The sale price includes the water rights and rights to the "Albion Ale & Porter Brewery" name.

Experiencing multiple price drops from the original list price of $2,950,000, the current asking price in receivership is now down to $975k and your bid may still win!
