The property is 4 acres and has a nearly 700-foot shoreline.
As Derek Jeter tries to figure out how to run the baseball team he owns in Miami, the legendary New York Yankees shortstop recently put his 12,590-square-foot, castle-like mansion on the market for $ 14.75 million, according to its Trulia listing.
Jeter bought the Greenwood Lake, New York, property, which is called the Tiedemann Castle, in 2003, according to the Times Herald-Record. The home is about a quarter-mile from the New Jersey border. It has been on the market since June 18.
Located on more than 4 acres with a nearly 700-foot shoreline, the estate looks a lot like the type of home you would expect of someone who made more than $ 266 million during his 19-year professional baseball career (not including endorsements).
This includes luxurious absurdities like four indoor kitchens, three houses (main house, guest house, pool house), an infinity pool, a lagoon, a waterfall, a game room, an elevator and a widow’s walk overlooking the lake. Oh, and a replica Statue of Liberty. Because why wouldn’t a New York icon like Derek Jeter have one of those in his yard?
And when all that begins to overwhelm, the next owner of the property, according to the listing, can always “retreat to one of the quiet den spaces” when they “want to get away from it all.”
In total, there are six bedrooms and 12 bathrooms. The home, originally built in 1903, according to the Times Herald-Record, has been updated in the past 15 years since Jeter has owned the property.
Even though the property is described in its listing as “magical,” it surely has more of a meaning to Jeter and his family than just a kingdom where he can cook in four different kitchens. According to the Times Herald-Record, Jeter’s maternal grandfather, William “Sonny” Connors, was adopted by the Tiedemann family, who purchased the property in 1952.
According to the newspaper, Jeter bought the property from the Tiedemann family trust under the limited liability company of Greenwood Lake Properties.
Property taxes were $ 16,620 in 2017, according to Zillow.
Jeter retired from baseball in 2014. It didn’t take long for him to get back involved with the game. Jeter led a group of investors that won a bid to buy the Miami Marlins for $ 1.2 billion in August 2017.
