The Company

Castle & Cie. was founded to create a more thoughtful approach to operating furnished residences. The company focuses on building long-term partnerships with property owners while ensuring every home entrusted to us is carefully maintained and respectfully occupied.

Through both founder-owned homes and lease partnerships with other owners, Castle & Cie. has operated distinctive residences across urban and rural environments. From historic brownstones in New York to rural and off-grid homes in other regions of the United States, our work reflects a commitment to stewardship, responsibility, and attention to detail.

Our goal is simple: to create stable living environments for residents while providing property owners with reliable income and peace of mind.

Our Philosophy

At Castle & Cie., we believe that successful property partnerships are built on three principles:

Trust
Property owners should feel confident that their homes are being carefully looked after.

Stewardship
Every residence deserves attentive maintenance and thoughtful management.

Respect
Homes are not simply assets — they are spaces that carry character, history, and value.

These principles guide every property we operate.
