The small town of Leverett, Massachusetts, has only about 1,800 inhabitants, according to Wikipedia. And the sprawling estate at 113 Juggler Meadow Road could probably fit most of them.
The legendary residence, one of the most unique homes in the entire state of Massachusetts, spans nearly 60 tranquil, park-like acres about 2 hours outside of Boston.
It has a mindboggling 120,000 square feet of living space spread across eight separate structures, with 16 bedrooms and 25 bathrooms split between them.
Yet it’s not its size or grandeur that captured headlines (and millions of video views) over the past year, since it was first listed.
The megamansion, which was built for Yankee Candle founder Michael Kittredge II, has an out-of-this-world amenity roster, one that includes an indoor water park, a 50,000-square-foot spa, a bowling alley, a two-story arcade, and a private concert venue, to name just a few of its over-the-top features.

A unique Massachusetts listing
Located approximately two hours west of Boston, the Western Massachusetts property is listed with the leading Sarkis Team at Douglas Elliman, with George Sarkis and Johnny Hatem Jr. in charge of finding a buyer.
But that’s not the easiest of tasks, as highly customized homes — built to match their intended owner’s vision for the place — can take years to find the right buyer, one that shares the initial occupant’s vision.
We’ve seen that happen to Neverland Ranch, which took many years (and quite a few price adjustments) before finally landing a buyer, and with other iconic properties that were heavily customized to meet their owner’s unique needs and wants.
It has a total of 16 bedrooms and 120,000 square feet of living space spread across 8 structures
Let’s try to pin down everything this property has to offer:
- Land: 57.88 acres
- Structures: a 5-bedroom main house, a clubhouse, a spa, a pool cabana, two guest houses, and two car barns
- Square footage: 120,000
- Bedrooms: 16
- Bathrooms: 25 (13 full, 12 half baths)
- Notable amenities: 4 tennis courts, 2 car barns, a 9-hole golf course, an indoor water park, a full-size auditorium, a stage equipped with state-of-the-art audio-visual systems, a two-story arcade, and a 55,000-square-foot spa.
Plus an amenity roster that makes it a bona fide “playground for adults”
The property, which you may have seen in MrBeast’s viral video, “$1 vs $100,000,000 House!” (watched by over 288 million people), has an amenity roster that would put an amusement park to shame. Youtube commenters even hailed it as “undoubtedly the most beautiful house I’ve ever seen”.
But before we delve into its many fun additions, it’s worth taking a moment to appreciate the house that anchors the property.
The sprawling main house
Originally built in the 1980s, the massive main house spans 25,000 square and features 5 bedrooms, 6 full baths and 5 half bathrooms, and a total of 11 fireplaces — some of which are located in the generously sized bathrooms.
It has several living rooms including a grand, two-story one
There’s no shortage of places for the family to gather in this megamansion, with several living rooms to pick from. The most impressive one is the two-story great room, with its massive proportions, soaring ceiling, balconies, and opulent yet comfy furnishings.
With several lounging areas and a wet bar
The great room has several lounging areas, with the main one set around the fireplace. Other ones enjoy a more intimate setting, placed under the balconies, and there’s also a wet bar in the room.
And a covered veranda overlooking the grounds of the house
Our favorite part of this grand space though? The light-flooded covered veranda with seating arranged around the windows and a formal round table in the middle, right under an intricate chandelier.
An oversized kitchen with cathedral ceilings
Clearly built to accommodate a whole suite of chefs (and their teams) to prepare food for large-scale events, the oversized kitchen — measuring almost 1,000 square feet — features cathedral ceilings with a skylight and windows letting natural light in.
An oval office
Surrounded by windows lined with desks and with a large mural looming over the stately desk at the center of the room, this is far from your regular home office.
There are two dining rooms in the main house
Based on whoever the future owners are having over for dinner that night, they can choose between two dining rooms: a more traditional, main-floor dining room with a candle-clad chandelier and millwork or a more casual, lower-level dining room situated right next to one of the wine cellars (there are two of those as well).
And lots of in-house amenities, including two “grotto-like” wine cellars
The lower level of the house comes with its own set of amenities, including two “grotto-like” wine cellars with rustic appeal.
Standout amenities include a two-story arcade
One of the property’s most unique amenities is the two-story arcade with pinball machines, slots, countless arcade games, carnival-style skee-ball, and everything you might need to entertain kids and adults alike.
A three-lane bowling alley
There’s even a three-lane bowling alley for when the arcade fun wears off.

A massive indoor water park
But the largest — and arguably most entertaining — attraction is the magical indoor water park with a large free-form pool, slides, waterfalls, and palm trees.
With a sizable structure reminiscent of the Bellagio
There’s even a huge indoor structure reminiscent of the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. Because why travel to Vegas when you have world-class entertainment in-house?
An indoor tennis court that doubles as a concert venue
And since we’re talking world-class entertainment, the Massachusetts mansion comes with a 4,000-square-foot indoor tennis court (to complement the three outdoor ones) that doubles as a concert venue.
With a bar and lounging area with a fireplace
A sizeable bar lines one wall of the concert venue, with another seating area on the other side, where guests can watch the tennis match — or sit comfortably during a concert.
According to Boston.com, this space has seen private performances by bands like Hall & Oates, The Doobie Brothers, KC and The Sunshine Band, and more.
Two car barns filled with Lamborghinis
So admittedly, the Lamborghinis and the rest of the luxe cars pictured here don’t come with the house. But they do a great job showcasing the impressive car barns on the property, specifically built to house a showstopping car collection similar to that of the current owner.
A clubhouse
The clubhouse comes with another 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a full kitchen, plus ample space to entertain guests outside.
With a pool and two cabanas
Right outside it, a pool with ample lounging options and two pool cabanas offer a serene space to unwind.
Two lovely guest houses
There are also two guest houses on the grounds of the estate.
And a 9-hole golf course
Golfing enthusiasts would have lots of fun here too, as there’s a 9-hole golf course plus select rooftops lined with putting green.
Now with a revised asking price of $14,900,000
Originally listed for a staggering $23 million, the home has seen a few price cuts since first listing and is now looking to fetch $14,900,000. And, based on what we’ve seen so far, it’s worth every penny.
