Historic Greenwich castle sells for $10.4M

A historic castle home in Greenwich with a storied history has been sold for more than $10 million.

Former Hemlock Castle estate owner Harry H. Frazee was the Boston Red Sox owner who traded Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees in 1920.

The 13,500-square-foot castle was built in 1913 by James C. Green. 

It has eight bedrooms and sits on more than four acres that also includes a four-bedroom carriage house, staff quarters, tennis courts and a five-car garage. 

The grounds feature an English garden, a reflecting pool, and rare Chinese Maples.

The former owners conducted an extensive remodel in the 1990s while maintaining the home’s historic Tudor-style features, such as a glass-and-wrought iron entryway, circular cobblestone courtyard, marble foyer, carved-stone archways, eight fireplaces and a floor-to-ceiling limestone piece in the living room. 

The new owners will also find a 10,000-bottle wine cave and tasting room, and a screening room with theater seats.
