Taylor Swift acquired a sprawling 11,000-square-foot estate in Rhode Island back in 2013, shelling out an impressive $17.75 million for the property, paid in full. The mansion, known as High Watch or Holiday House, is nestled atop Watch Hill, boasting over 700 feet of private shoreline.
This eight-bedroom abode features eight fireplaces, ten bathrooms, and spans across 5.23 acres, flaunting a generous backyard complete with a sizable swimming pool. Previously owned by oil heiress Rebekah Harkness for over three decades, the mansion had its own storied history before Swift’s ownership.
Despite never crossing paths with the social circle of its former owner, Swift was intrigued by Harkness’s flamboyant lifestyle, inspiring her to pen the song “The Last Great American Dynasty.” Taking cues from Harkness’s legendary Gatsby-esque gatherings, Swift has carried on the tradition by hosting an annual Fourth of July bash at the estate.
While Swift has kept the interior mostly under wraps, glimpses into the opulent surroundings have been shared by her celebrity friends who attended her Taymerica festivities. Notably, in 2015, Gigi Hadid, Joe Jonas, and Martha Hunt posted snapshots from the extravagant celebration on their social media accounts.
Hadid’s posts featured moments of fun on the makeshift volleyball court and posed shots with friends against the mansion’s elegant spiral staircase. Martha Hunt showcased the exterior beauty of the house, highlighting the tiled patio with chic lounge chairs and the vibrant pool area adorned with inflatable toys.
Pictures from inside the mansion’s pristine kitchen, featuring white cabinets and marble countertops, were also shared by Swift’s inner circle. Additionally, glimpses of a vintage-themed bar and a music studio hinted at the property’s versatile entertainment options.
Swift’s artistic touch can be seen throughout the home, with black-and-white photos of loved ones adorning the walls. Despite her fondness for the estate, Swift primarily resides in her lavish $50 million New York penthouse, often leaving the Rhode Island retreat to be enjoyed by her friends.
In a gesture of generosity, Swift reportedly gifted her beachside saltbox house to Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper during the early days of their romance. However, this property is just a fraction of Swift’s extensive real estate portfolio, valued at over $80 million.
