Greenwood Lake, New York, United States

Retired professional baseball shortstop Derek Jeter has reduced his historic Greenwood Lake retreat to $6.5 million. Jeter had previously tried to sell the property in 2018 & 2019 for $14.75 million. Sitting on 4 acres with 700-feet of shoreline, the property includes a historic structure known as Tiedemann Castle. The storied estate had been at one point the childhood home of Jeter’s grandfather, William ‘Sonny’ Connors. It was built in the early 1900s by Rudolph H.E. Gudewill for his wife Fanny. Following Gudewill’s death in 1946, the castle was sold to John and Julia Tiedemann, who adopted William ‘Sonny’ Connors in the 1950s. It’s reported that Jeter purchased the estate in 2003 for $425,000 before embarking on an extensive renovation of the historic property. Today, Tiedemann Castle offers over 12,500 square feet of space with 6 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, turrets, a widow’s walk and views over Greenwood Lake. The property spans 4 acres and is made up of two parcels, including a main house, guest house, pool house and boat house. The property also includes extensive gardens, a lagoon and infinity edge swimming pool with massive rock waterfall.

Listing details: This Gem on the Lake, with nearly 700-feet of shoreline, is perfect as a full-time residence with plenty of space for everyone working/schooling from home. It would also be an ideal weekend/summer getaway! Passing through the gate in the privacy stone wall, one enters this magical property that has been lovingly restored, with unparalleled attention to detail, beyond its original grandeur. There are 2 parcels that make up the estate and they include the main house (with an elevator), guest house, pool house, infinity pool, extensive gardens, a lagoon, boat house, and too much more to describe.
