Tour the Yankee Candle Founder's Epic $23 Million Home
With a water park, arcade, and more in this totally over-the-top residence.
By 
Yankee Candle is known for its cornucopia of home fragrances—everything from Pink Sands to Christmas Cookie. But the company's founder would need hundreds of candles to fill their house. The candle connoisseur's mega-mansion just hit the market for a whopping $23 million. Located in Leverett, Massachusetts, which is approximately two hours west of Boston, the sprawling property was built by Michael Kittredge before his passing in 2019. (According to listing agent Johnny Hatem, who is on the Sarkis Team at Douglas Elliman, Kittredge's son currently lives on the estate.) Located on nearly 60 acres of land, this property is jam-packed with amenities. A nine-hole golf course? Check. Waterpark-ready slide and pool? Of course. Private theater, home gym, and arcade? You've got it.
"There's no telling what this remarkable legacy property in the heart of Western Massachusetts can become," Hatem says. "A property you have to see to believe, Juggler Meadow's approximately 120,000 square feet of breathtaking living space spans across eight structures and offers every conceivable amenity. No expense was spared in the design and construction of this trulv one-of-a-kind compound featuring the highest quality craftsmanship and finest materials—sourced from all over the world."
If you want to see this property yourself—but aren't totally ready to drop $23 million on a new house—read on for an up-close-and-personal look at the mega-mansion. (While you scroll, just imagine which Yankee Candle sent would be suited for each room.)
Facade
Unlike most multi-million dollar homes—which often boast ultra-sleek designs—this property features charming stone details, pitched roofs, and a shingled facade.
Entryway
Entering the 50,000-square-foot residence, you're greeted by a relatively modest and welcoming wood-paneled entryway.
Kitchen
With an oversized chandelier, stone countertops, and no less than five islands for all of your meal-prepping needs, this spot is designed to deliver.
Dining Room
Between the traditional, candle-clad chandelier and millwork, this formal dining room is perfectly equipped for a well-to-do dinner party.
Hallway
As the saying goes, the devil lies in the details. This hallway is dressed up with floral wallpaper, traditional drapes, and if you look closely, a cheeky portrait of Nicholas Cage.
Great Room
The primary residence shines with a double-height great room, complete with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, a cozy hearth, and built-in wet bar.
Sunroom
Looking for a room with a view? Head over to this glass-fronted space, which has an incredible vista of the lush foliage nearby.
Home Office
Though an oval office is unmistakably presidential, Kittredge gave this space a modern edge with an embossed desk and curved shelf for important papers, colleagues, and, of course, candles.
Bedroom
When it comes to this Yankee Candle compound, more is merrier. This estate boasts a total of 16 bedrooms, five of which are located in the primary residence.
Bathroom
Meanwhile, the property has a total of 13 full bathrooms and 12 half-bathrooms, which means you'll have plenty of places to primp!
Home Theater
Movie nights at home just became a lot more appealing, thanks to the residence's projector screen and leather reclining chairs.
Cellar
Calling all oenophiles: This moody lair is an excellent place to have a wine tasting. There are even plenty of shelves behind to stash all of your favorite vintages.
Pool
Where this property really shines is with its lineup of all-star amenities. Kicking things off is this sleek pool and spa.
Garage
Whether or not you have a need for speed, the Yankee Candle home's multi-car garage will impress (or at least shock) everyone who enters.
Home Bowling Alley
With pops of color, simple sconces, and an eye for symmetry, these lanes look like they came from a Wes Anderson movie.
Arcade
Or, if virtual reality is more your speed, there's also an area packed with video games, air hockey, and skee-ball.
Gym
True to most multi-million dollar pads, the Yankee Candle estate has its own gym. The difference? This one is so huge that multiple people could complete a full circuit training session.
Tennis Court
Squeeze in a quick game year-round with this indoor tennis court. The wood-paneled room offers plenty of country club vibes, plus you can even grab a refreshment at the built-in drinks bar.
Lounge
Darts and billiards are also fair play in this rugged lounge, complete with coffered ceilings and a stone-stacked hearth.
Water Park
But perhaps the crown jewel of the Yankee Candle estate is the indoor pool, which gets its water park flair with a slide, grottos, and waterfalls aplenty.
