Tour the Yankee Candle Founder’s Epic $23 Million Home

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.)
