The castle was first listed for $14.75 million back in June 2018. The auction, held by Paramount Realty, will have a minimum bid price of just $6.5 million—so there’s a chance to grab the estate for a fraction of the original asking price. “The owner has elected to market and sell via Paramount’s luxury property auction platform because it is efficient and provides an element of finality,” said a company spokesperson in a press statement.
The storybook castle sits behind a stone wall and comes with its own medieval-looking tower. Manicured grounds surround the property, an ideal place for future homeowners to entertain guests or embark on a solo walk, with a serene waterfall and even a replica of the Statue of Liberty as backdrops. Inside, the estate has a billiards room and a bar to craft your favorite cocktails.
Jeter’s connection to the property dates back to summer adventures from his boyhood, as documented in the 2011 biographyby Ian O’Connor. The book describes Jeter’s grandfather William “Sonny” Conner as an adopted son of the Tiedemann family, the former owners of the estate.
