Inside Taylor Swift’s 11,000sqft $17 Million Rhode Island Vacation Home

In 2013, Taylor Swift reportedly paid a whooping $17.75 million in cash for an 11,000-square-foot house in Rhode Island. Built on Watch Hill’s highest point, the eight-bedroom property known as High Watch or Holiday House has almost 700 feet of private oceanfront.

 

 

Situated on 5.23 acres, this mansion boasts 10 baths, eight fireplaces, and a large pool in the expansive backyard. The 1929 mammoth house was famously owned by oil heiress Rebekah Harkness for more than 30 years before Swift received the keys.

Swift never had the opportunity to meet the socialite, but Harkness had an influence on the singer-songwriter, who was responsible for writing “The Last Great American Dynasty” about her wild lifestyle. In fact, Swift seemed to have taken some inspiration from Harkness, who was well-known for hosting parties reminiscent of The Great Gatsby, and continued her tradition by turning the hilltop house into the place to be on July Fourth.

 

 

The 34-year-old private pop star hasn’t posted many photos of the vacation home on social media, but a few of her A-list friends have provided sneak peeks inside the house by posting pictures from the extravagant celebration, dubbed as Taymerica, on their accounts. Gigi Hadid, Joe Jonas, Martha Hunt, and other well-known pals of hers posted pictures from the exciting weekend to Instagram back in 2015.

 

 

Hadid posted two photos on social media: one of the three girls posing on a spiral staircase, and another of her having fun on a temporary volleyball court in Swift’s garden. Wearing identical red, white, and blue onesies, the trio was grinning as they relaxed against the white rod iron railing.

 

 

In the meantime, Martha shared other photos of the exterior of the house, featuring the pool area, which was furnished with a slide and inflatable toys, as well as the tiled patio with white lounge chairs. For his part, Jonas shared a picture of himself and his brother Nick using Swift’s bar.

 

 

The space exuded a retro vibe thanks to a built-in cabinet filled with several trinkets, including a big “T” sign, and multiple bottles of different alcoholic beverages. The super star’s white kitchen from the house has also been featured in pictures shared by a number of other acquaintances. The kitchen features gray marble countertops, stainless steel equipment, and white cabinetry.

 

 

Naturally, Swift also seems to have a recording studio at home that she uses for entertaining. High ceilings and a seemingly neutral color scheme dominate the living area, which also has white furniture, tan walls, oak hardwood flooring, and white crown molding.

 

 

A soft, yellow light fills the romantic area from vintage sconces that adorn several of the walls.
