A real estate home run

Retired New York Yankee and Miami Marlins co-owner Derek Jeter has put his New York Tiedemann Castle in Greenwood Lake on the market for $14.75 million. Featuring an impressive wood-beamed ceiling in the great room, large stone fireplaces, stone turret and a stone bridge traversing a lagoon, the home recalls many of the beautiful European castles throughout history. Surrounded by four acres, the greystone compound consists of the main house, a guest house, pool house and boat house located along Greenwood Lake’s shoreline. Photo by TopTenRealEstateDeals.com.

Missouri’s most modern farmhouse

Priced at $1 million, this five-bedroom “porch house” sitting on 3.11 acres in Springfield, Missouri, is a modern take on a traditional farmhouse. As its name suggests, a 1,500-square-foot porch wraps around two sides of the house, covered by a 10-foot canopy. The property also includes a four-stall barn equipped with a bar, where new country dwellers can drink up with their friends until the cows come home.
