At one point, Yankees superstar shortstop Derek Jeter was the king of New York, so it only fits that the five-time World Series champion lived in a castle.

Jeter purchased a 4.01-acre Greenwood Lake, New York property for $425,000 back in 2003 and subsequently converted it into a real-life fortress. Now that the MLB royal and Miami Marlins owner has transplanted his life to Florida, however, he does not need the stunning compound and has decided to list it with Diane Mitchell of Wright Bros. Real Estate, Inc.

The castle, which is located roughly 45 miles northwest of Yankee Stadium, first appeared on the market in June 2018 and is listed for a whopping $14,750,000. Jeter's lakeside palace - affectionately dubbed the "Gem on the Lake" in the official listing, features nearly 700 feet of shoreline, along with five different kitchens, a turret, a game room, an infinity pool, and a replica of the Statue of Liberty.

Check out photos of Jeter's home below:

So it's somewhat surprising that Jeter hasn't found a buyer for New York fortress. Of course, the former Yankee is estimated to be worth $185 million, so he can afford to wait for the right owner to come along and purchase his old pad.
