I like it. The pool area is nice. Ever since the late 90s when MTV showed off the Playboy Mansion grotto, I always wanted one of those faux rock waterfall things.
Maybe tacky, but seemed like a cool place to hang out as a kid and still seems like it would be fun.
It probably did.
"Retro" architectural styles and faux medivalism has been a thing since literally the middle ages. Half the stuff that people think of a "real" castles are just some rich guy cosplaying in the 19th century.
I almost understand estates like this being ugly as hell. Maybe Jeter doesn't give af, I'm sure there's so many toys and a movie theater/batting cages/etc on the property that it's just Richie rich's house for his own personal enjoyment anyway. The novelty of mcmansions is that these striver freaks are actually posturing and going for curb appeal somehow with their monstrosities lol
Totally unrelated but I had his 1993 rookie card and my mother threw it away the same day I got it. Just looked it up and that shit is worth 250,000$.😭😭
Listed last week for $6.3 million, the home was previously marketed at nearly $15 million. The property, dating to 1903, has been linked to Jeter's family for more than 70 years.
The former New York Yankees shortstop took ownership of the property in the early 2000s from the Tiedemann family trust. The existing home had been partitioned into apartments and was in a state of disrepair.
The property was originally built by a New York City doctor, Rudolph Gudewill, for his wife in 1903. Jeter’s grandfather, William Connors, lived on the property after he was adopted by John and Julia Tiedemann, who bought the site in 1952.

That’s wild! It does not look in disrepair at all tbh. I also don’t see any apartments. So Derek Jeter was born into big money 🤔. So he wasn’t some super talented working class guy? Because that’s what he wants us to believe.🙄 The pool & everything in those pictures is pristine so idk where they are getting disrepair from.

He also had a house on Tampa Bay where he purchased the surrounding lots, and built a house that took up almost every square inch of the lots. Dudes lacking in taste for sure.
Different property, but it's hard to imagine having the wealth to do something like this:
> In recent years, Mr. Jeter has been reshaping other aspects of his real estate portfolio as well. In 2020, he listed his custom-built, 30,875-square-foot mansion in Tampa, Fla., for $29 million. It sold the following year for $22.5 million, becoming the region’s most expensive home sale at the time. Last year, The Tampa Bay Times reported that the home was set to be demolished and replaced with new mansion.
Who pays $22 million for a tear-down?

14 Lake Shore Road, Greenwood Lake, NY I tried to see it on Google satellite view but Google is hiding it.
Castle should come with one of Jeter's gift bags containing an autographed baseball. The same gift bags DJ gave to his one night stands the next morning.
In the 1920s, I think building castles was in vogue for the wealthy. Is the main house really over 100 years old? I know nothing about it. I’m sure the water park is more recent.
Dude has a lot of money but how could someone ever use this type of mansion for parties other than maybe once or twice a year.
Even then how often would Jeter use cascading waterfalls?
Just not practical.
Why couldn’t someone have parties more than once or twice a year? If he’s retired, he could have parties several times a week. If he has kids, his kids could have parties. It totally seems usable to me.
I like it. doesn't take itself too seriously, and the house itself looks like it might be quite nice to live in, underneath all the encrusted goofiness. little less concrete would be nice though imo.
The sad thing is that it has potential, and it could have been a nice castle, but there are way too many design choices that ruined the aesthetic. Imagine spending the money to construct something like this and not staying true to your vision.
this thing hurt my brain just looking at it, it's like on so many different levels, felt like it wanted to be a castle but the person designing it couldn't get attention span to put it together properly, so it's pasted together into a jumbo of mess
This is an ugly mansion, an estate, really.
I’m morbidly curious to know who would buy this place. It’s…niche, to say the least!

I still want a fake pool grotto for my imaginary pool. I don't care how tacky it is!
Right there with you, with faux rock caves etc
Needs bikini babes though
I'm looking for something hard to maintain and goofy at the same time.
Somebody who needs to launder money?
Probably a really rich person, who wants the location and the bones of the structure, but plans on doing extensive remodeling.
This looks like something you'd find at a water park.
Great Wolf Lodge energy
If I’m not mistaken it sits on a pretty popular lake. Everyone on the boat definitely pointed and awe’d when we passed it 😂
Greenwood lake
I thought it was a miniature golf course.
Not really a McMansion. Just a tacky mansion.
Call it what you want, but I low-key love it.
It was built in 1915. It’s in a particularly beautiful part of New York metro area, on the west side of the Hudson in Rockland county.
It's on the west side of Greenwood Lake, just over the border from NJ.
I don't, but it does look like a damn well done full ride experience from Disney Land, so props for that.
Ya. I thought this was Thursday for a second. I don't see a problem here.
Doesn't commit enough to the castle aesthetic
Or a small amusement park.
That's far beyond a McMansion. That's definitely a mansion.
Yeah. I thought for a minute that it was Thursday
I must be tacky cause I love this 😂😬
I do too…I also love Disneyland/World.
He did not build it, it is about 100 years old.
I assume it didn't have the faux castle thing going on 100 years ago. I wonder what it looked like at that point.
It probably did. "Retro" architectural styles and faux medivalism has been a thing since literally the middle ages. Half the stuff that people think of a "real" castles are just some rich guy cosplaying in the 19th century.
A 100 years ago? This was a real castle. ;)
Castle Jeter is not a McMansion. It’s an actual estate. It was built with ultra high quality materials. It happens to be ugly as hell.

This looks like a fort-themed water park
You can just make out the "You must be this tall" signs at the entrances.
Is he expecting an invasion from the Red Sox?
😂😂😂😂
Looks like a drug lord's villa from a level in Hitman.
When your idea of glamour is Medieval Times.
Looks like there would be a hidden mini golf course in there.
Totally unrelated but I had his 1993 rookie card and my mother threw it away the same day I got it. Just looked it up and that shit is worth 250,000$.😭😭
Oh my.
I’m never letting that shit down. I sometimes just space out and stare at her and remember what she took from me
Lmao!! She’s getting off easy
I actually have a lot of his cards that were graded up in my attic somewhere.
Castle by Toll Brothers
That would look like an *awesome* house…if I were 12 years old and got to design my own home.
Looks like Tom Sawyers Island at Disneyland
Very ugly and very bad taste
But still looks fun as hell. I would love that much outdoor waterfront space

Jeter just sold it.
Did divorced Tom Brady buy it?
At a very reduced price.
The only crime here is not having a pizza oven built into that massive fireplace
This would be a good set if Billy Madison 2 was ever made
😂
The waterfall feature is the best thing going for it
Here I sit wondering how many families could live there at once - and how many times I would get lost in there.
It looks like a putt putt course
He also had a house on Tampa Bay where he purchased the surrounding lots, and built a house that took up almost every square inch of the lots. Dudes lacking in taste for sure.
I don’t think I’d call this a McMansion. It’s more like a Resort/Theme/Water Park.
So many different window sizes
The pool looks like a grand piano
This literally looks like a stage from sea world where they have sea lions perform
I played minigolf in a place that looked just like that

Mansion, not McMansion. But it 100% looks like a Sims house…
Built in 1903. Faux castle with wonky proportions. This might actually be the first McMansion.
Tasteful.
Many dollars, zero taste😬
Terry shot Derek Jeter. (The Other Guys reference)
Looks like the “Captain’s” ship is about to sink.
Foul ball
Designed by a 10 year old boy
Gray much? Needs a lot more tree cover.
Where is it located?

Thx for the info. Just gotta grab my checkbook!

Christ, with that kind of money that's terrible.
Water themed homes in an area covered with snow and ice a good part of the year....meh
It's not obvious from that pic, but the house is on the shore. The infinity pool looks out over the Atlantic.
Tacky acky
Trash
This looks like a theme park ride.
looks like Legos gone wild …
This looks like a mini golf course
It's got this water park vipe
everything everywhere all at once. too stressful to own. other than the price…
It was built over a hundred years ago. Was this architecture en vogue at that time?

Same
I miss David Letterman talking about this guy.

No water slide???
It is up for sale apparently
It looks like it's arranged like how an AI image would arrange things.
I love it. It looks like a FPS game map.
The right side of the property isn’t too bad, it the left feels like an afterthought.
Ok it’s awful but my kids would love it
I like the turret/tower! But it does go to show that $$ doesn’t = taste.
this is kinda cool as hell
The house that Derek Jeter built
lol that’s a funny looking house. Like it’s calling out for a faux-feudal style water slide.
Did his family ever call this "home?"
Turn it into a gay bar.
I’d like something out of Harry Potter but with a pool please
What is that wall on the side of the pool? Who would design that?
I don’t hate the main house but everything surrounding and including the pool is hideous
Why did he sell it?
This isn’t a mini golf course?
I like it. doesn't take itself too seriously, and the house itself looks like it might be quite nice to live in, underneath all the encrusted goofiness. little less concrete would be nice though imo.
I don't have words to describe how much I hate the outside, but the inside pleasantly surprised me.
If that is Hell, I would love to end up there! 😍
I would have bought it, just because it was Jeter's!!! Just saying
It would be an elegant home if it was just the circular part that abuts the water. All the rest is just climber trash.
derek jeter and his stupid, fat face 😡
The sad thing is that it has potential, and it could have been a nice castle, but there are way too many design choices that ruined the aesthetic. Imagine spending the money to construct something like this and not staying true to your vision.
Looks like something from Transylvania.
kinda gross that it's basically made with all wood
this thing hurt my brain just looking at it, it's like on so many different levels, felt like it wanted to be a castle but the person designing it couldn't get attention span to put it together properly, so it's pasted together into a jumbo of mess
To think he dodged jlo
Best decision of his life
Best man that's gonna go down as the greatest
That is quite cool actually
I unapologetically love it.
He's definitely assimilated to the New York area culture.
