Inside Taylor Swift’s iconic $17M Rhode Island vacation home

Published

on

She picked out a home called “Holiday House.”

Taylor Swift bought an 11,000-square-foot estate in Rhode Island back in 2013 for a whopping $17.75 million — which she reportedly paid for in cash.

The eight-bedroom property, known as High Watch or Holiday House, was built on the highest point in Watch Hill and boasts over 700 feet of private beachfront.

The home, which has eight fireplaces and 10 bathrooms, sits on 5.23 acres and features a sprawling back patio with a massive pool.

Before Swift got keys to the mega mansion, the home, built in 1929, was famously owned by oil heiress Rebekah Harkness for more than 30 years.

Although Swift never got the chance to meet the socialite, Harkness still made an impact on the singer-songwriter, who wrote “The Last Great American Dynasty” about her wild lifestyle.

In fact, Swift seemingly took some cues from Harkness — who was known to throw Gatsby-esque parties — and carried on her legacy by making the hilltop home the place to be every Fourth of July.

Although the private pop star, 34, hasn’t shared many images of the vacation property herself, several of her A-list pals have given glimpses inside the home while uploading images from the lavish bash — known as Taymerica — to their social media over the years.

Back in 2015, several of her famous friends — including Gigi Hadid, Joe Jonas and Martha Hunt — shared photos from the fun-filled weekend to their Instagrams.

Hadid shared a picture of herself playing on a make-shift volleyball court in Swift’s backyard and another photo of the three girls posing on a spiral staircase.

Despite having such a luxurious hideaway, Swift typically resides at her $50 million New York City compound — leaving the Rhode Island House at the dispense of her friends.

In fact, the 14-time Grammy winner reportedly offered up her saltbox house on the coast to Hadid and Bradley Cooper during the early stages of their romance last year.

However, the pricey pad is just one fraction of Swift’s over $80 million real estate portfolio.
