Derek Jeter Finally Sells His Iconic Lakefront Castle for $6.3 Million

Derek Jeter has finally sold his lake-front castle in upstate New York for $6.3 million. The Baseball Hall of Famer originally listed the property for over $14 million in 2018. Named Tiedemann Castle, the property boasts a turret, bridge, waterfall, and fountains.

After years of struggling to sell the property, Jeter finally found a buyer, but only after reducing the asking price significantly. The property was listed for $14.25 million in 2018 and also went up for auction in 2022 before going into contract in May for $6.3 million.

Located on Greenwood Lake, less than 50 miles north of Yankee Stadium, Jeter purchased the castle in 2003 for $425,000. He transformed it into a 12,590 square foot fortress complete with a turret, bridge, waterfall, fountains, and even a replica of the Statue of Liberty. The castle has a family history, as Jeter’s grandfather lived there after being adopted by the Tiedemann family, for whom the property was named.

This is not Jeter’s first major property sale since retiring from MLB almost a decade ago. In 2021, he sold a 21,796-square-foot mansion in Tampa for over $22 million.
