A sprawling compound built by the late founder of Yankee Candle Co. is listed for sale at $23 million.

Located in the small town of Leverett, Massachusetts, the 60-acre (24-hectare) compound built by Michael Kittredge II is about a two-hour drive from Boston and includes eight buildings with 16 bedrooms and more than 120,000 square feet (11,148 square meters) of living space.

The 25,000-square-foot main home has a three-story room ringed with white columns that’s large enough to entertain dozens of people. A kitchen features five islands and seven sinks, according to the Wall Street Journal, which first reported the listing.

The late Kittredge, who founded the scented candle company in the 1960s and died in 2019, bought the property for $144,000 in 1984 when it was a three-bedroom colonial-style house and later expanded it by buying up land and adding new outbuildings over the decades. He funded its construction in part with the almost $500 million he made selling 90% of Yankee Candle in 1998 to New York private equity company Forstmann Little & Co. Now, the company is now owned by Newell Brands Inc., with its scented candles and other products stocked in most US states and through distributors in dozens of other countries around the world.

A 55,000-square-foot spa and indoor water park, dotted with palm trees and inspired by the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas, has a waterfall, slides and lagoons. The same building that houses the spa has a sauna and steam room, as well as massage and treatment rooms.

The estate also features an outdoor swimming pool with a cabana. Indoors, the property has a fitness center, recording studio, games room with arcade machines, a three-lane bowling alley and a tennis court that also functions an auditorium, bar and lounge, according to the Journal. Two “car barns” can accommodate up to 80 vehicles.

The Yankee Candle founder’s son, Michael Kittredge III, 32, is selling the property which he described as like “Disneyland,” according to the interview with the Wall Street Journal. The listing agent Johnny Hatem Jr. told the Journal said the price reflects the isolated location, which is only a few miles from the garage where Kittredge started Yankee Candle.
