Peek Inside Derek Jeter's $15M New York Castle

In the sporting world, athletes are often known for luxurious homes in which they can retreat during the offseason. However, these residences often become less necessary following retirement or when priorities change. New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is selling his Boston-area mansion for the discount price of $34 million, but he is not the only sports figure putting his place on the market. Retired New York Yankees player Derek Jeter is also selling his $14.75 million New York Tiedemann Castle and from the looks of it, it's a real beauty.

As the old saying goes, "a man's home is his castle," and Jeter certainly proves that with his Greenwood Lake residence. According to TopTenRealEstateDeals.com, this 11,000-square-foot home once belonged to Jeter's grandfather, William Connors. As a child, the future MLB player would spend his summers swimming, playing sports, and doing chores at the castle.

The property was originally sold in 1996, but Jeter purchased the castle for himself in 2002. In the time since he invested a considerable amount of money in an extended renovation. The 6-bedroom, 12-bath home now features a game room, gym, bar, sauna, and more, making it a prime spot to bring the family or conduct a corporate retreat.

The castle sits on four acres and consists of the main house, a guest house, a pool house, and a boathouse. This property is located at the edge of nearly 700 feet of Greenwood Lake's shoreline.

This seven-mile lake is an attraction for visitors from New York City, New Jersey, and Philadelphia, but it was also once known as one of the East Coast's most popular resort towns. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, many celebrities frequented Greenwood Lake, including Yankees player Babe Ruth.
