New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter is finally parting ways with his massive upstate mansion.
Jeter spent his entire Hall of Fame career in pinstripes and is unquestionable one of the most respected and revered players in baseball history.
For memories alone, it has to be quite sad for him to part ways with such a majestic property.
After six years on and off the market, his castle-style property has finally entered contract, marking the last of his holdings in the state.
The final price paid for the dwelling and the identity of the new owner aren’t yet known, but the sale’s in-contract status was first reported by Mansion Global.
The home, located about 50 miles northwest of Manhattan in the quaint village of Greenwood Lake, was last listed for $6.5 million.
The road to finding a buyer hasn’t been easy or cheap.
The retired shortstop initially attached a hefty $14.75 million price tag when he first listed the 4-acre property in 2018 but has seen several price cuts over the years.
The 9,000-square-foot, three-story main structure, known as Tiedemann Castle, was built in 1915 and features enchanting medieval-style turrets and battlements.
Jeter assembled the property through multiple transactions in the early 2000s, reportedly paying a total of about $1.6 million and investing an additional $3 million in renovations.
Despite its historic stone exterior, the home boasts contemporary finishes inside, complete with four kitchens, a media room, an elevator, a wet bar, a steam shower, and a gym.
Unique design details include oak paneling, beamed ceilings, ornate iron chandeliers, and candlestick-style sconces, giving a modern twist to the castle living experience.
The property also features a lakeside guesthouse, a pool house, an outdoor kitchen, a private lagoon, a boathouse, and a dock – plus a replica of the Statue of Liberty.
In total, there are six bedrooms and 12 bathrooms spread across nearly 12,600 square feet of interior living space with the estate’s structures combined.
The home has been described as a “magical property” and “lovingly restored beyond its original grandeur,” according to the listing.
In 2021, Jeter sold his 31,000-square-foot Tampa, Florida, mansion, dubbed “St. Jetersburg,” for $22.5 million.
The seven-bedroom residence, custom-built for the Hall of Famer in 2012, was once rented by Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen.
Nowadays, Jeter spends most of his time in the Sunshine State, residing near Miami with his wife, Hannah Jeter, and their four children.
In 2021, he acquired a 2-acre waterfront property in Coral Gables for $16.6 million.

Not too bad, huh?
