After being on the market for nearly six years, Derek Jeter’s Orange County property has entered contract. However, the price that was paid for it as well as who bought the home remain unknown.
Tiedemann Castle contains 24 rooms and was built in 1903 by a dentist. The estate was the childhood home of Derek Jeter’s grandfather and features multiple kitchens, lakeside views and infinity pools—and a very obvious ‘New York City’ theme throughout. But could you live with this decor?
