At one point, the New York Yankees superstar shortstop Derek Jeter was the king of New York, so it's only fitting that the five-time World Series champion lived in a castle.
2023-05-14
Jeter purchased his 4.01-acre Greenwood Lake, New York, property for $425,000 in 2003 and converted it into a fortress. Now that the MLB royal has relocated to Florida, he does not need the stunning compound and decided to list it with Diane Mitchell of Wright Bros. Real Estate Inc.
The castle, which is roughly 45 miles northwest of Yankee Stadium, appeared on the market in June 2018 and was listed for a whopping $14.8 million. Jeter's lakeside palace — affectionately dubbed the "Gem on the Lake" in the official listing — couldn't find a buyer so it went up for auction with a starting bid of $6.5 million.
Check out photos of Jeter's home below:

There's plenty of garage space for Jeter's luxury cars.

The home really feels like a medieval castle in some spots.

After nearly a year and a half for sale, Jeter pulled the listing "for the winter months," per the real estate agent selling the home. The agent said at the time that it would be returning to the market shortly.
