I had also originally thought of a castle. I currently live in a mini one in France which i am finishing restoring. Unfortunately not big enough to house a whole heap of you, and prob not practical.
Castles are great but not overly practical. They cost a fortune to restore and maintain, also they tend to be in France, which love it or loathe it, might not be practical for many. Also they are difficult to separate up internally and have a pre-determined intent that comes with them. Also unless a hole heap of you step forward with 20-30 thousand each to throw into a group project, its difficult to pull off financially.
What came to me instead is more a centre, something that could be built. I say this because the act of building it seems to be important as a work of sorcery. The challenge is to do this cheaply with labour supplied by people who have an interest in the subject of sorcery. I could provide many of the materials and tools myself.
Btw past building credentials include The Globe Theatre in London, a few National trust properties, numerous historic renovations in France. Ive been doing this quite a while now.
Please feel free to throw out ideas and comments on th subject.
