You Won't Believe What a Castle in Spain Costs — and it just might change how you think about international real estate investing forever.
In this clip, Joshua Wilson sits down with Mike Stohler, Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Gateway Private Equity Group, to unpack a deal that stopped Mike in his tracks — a fully renovated, 19-room boutique castle built in the 1300s, sitting on 43 acres in the Barcelona area of Spain, listed at just $2.4 million. For context, Mike initially guessed $20–25 million. The conversation is a masterclass in why savvy capital allocators are looking far beyond U.S. borders for value-add hospitality investments — and what that means for alternative asset strategy and investor communications.
