Yankees star Derek Jeter has sold his sprawling castle home in New York after listing it ‘several years ago’.
Built in the early 1900s on Greenwood Lake on the border of New York and New Jersey, the estate is actually two castles: the master castle with a connected tower and a guest castle.
Loaded with rustic atmosphere and many stunning architectural features, highlights of the property include soaring wood-beamed ceiling in the great room, large stone fireplaces, a stone turret and a stone bridge traversing a lagoon.

Sitting on four acres, the immaculately restored greystone compound consists of the main house, a guest house, pool house and boat house located at the edge of nearly 700 feet of Greenwood Lake’s shoreline, reports What’s The Jam.
Dubbed Tiedemann Castle, the property was built by a New York doctor, Rudolph Gudewill, and later bought by a family in 1952.
One of the sons was William Connors, Jeter’s maternal grandfather, and the baseball star spent summers throughout childhood at the home.
Measuring almost 9,000 square feet, the main house is perfect for extended family or as a corporate retreat with water sports and enjoying the extensive, partially covered terrace with infinity pool overlooking the lake.
Living areas in the main house include six bedrooms, seven full and five half baths, great room, four kitchens, multiple stone fireplaces including one on the terrace, dens, game room, sunroom, formal dining room, office, gym and family room with a bar.

The turret opens out to a widow’s walk which is duplicated on the guest house, both providing beautiful lake and wooded views.
There are extensive gardens, a Statue of Liberty replica and a four-car garage.
After it was sold in 1996 and put back up on the market in 2002, Jeter bought and restored the home, which features on Top Ten Real Estate Deals.

Jeter has reportedly been trying to sell the home for “several years”, and it was most recently listed at $6.3 million – though the final sale price has not been disclosed.
