Dracula's castle could be yours

The imposing property known as "Dracula's Castle" is for sale in Romania, but the undisclosed price tag will surely bleed your bank account dry.

The impressive stone structure, officially named Bran Castle, was completed in 1388 and is said to have been Bram Stoker's inspiration for Dracula's castle in his famed book.

Stoker loosely based his vampire character on Vlad Draul, or "Vlad the Impaler," who is also thought to have been imprisoned in Bran castle for nearly two months.

Bloody historical ties aside, the castle would be quite the lucrative investment since more than 500,000 paying tourists visit the iconic structure each year.

The legendary manor boasts 57 rooms and sits on 22 tree-covered acres, though the castle has no plumbing to speak of. It has been listed for sale multiple times in the past decade with some estimates hitting the $135 million price point.

If you have more than $100 million to throw down and don't mind throngs of camera-toting fang enthusiasts, this could be a great opportunity to sink your teeth into.
