Amongst other things, yes.

I've imagined what it would be like if I became an umpty-millionaire. I like the idea of building an estate on the edge of some smallish resort city, and having the main house be a Barad-Dur style affair. Lots of gothic statuary on the grounds, massive iron doors, medieval-style wall with ramparts and a massive gatehouse.

The kind of place where door-to-door solicitors fear to tread.

And of course the grounds would be monitored by roving robots with circular saw hands.

"Gilded Age" mansions would be typified by Biltmore (surely that was a deliberate pun?)

The UK is full of "Stately Homes"

France is full of Chateaux.

It's difficult to top Mad King Ludwig of Bavaria, though.
