Castle Hill

Located on a hilltop overlooking Ipswich Bay, Castle Hill features a 59-room mansion within a 165-acre property with salt marshes and coastal landscapes.

Richard Teller Crane Jr acquired the property in 1910 and collaborated with architect David Adler to construct the Stuart-style mansion, completed in 1928.

The estate hosts classical concerts, art exhibitions, and seasonal festivals throughout the year, continuing a tradition that began with performances by Louis Armstrong.

The Trustees of Reservations maintain guided tours of the mansion, offering visitors access to period rooms and detailed information about the estate's architecture.

The property includes 21 outbuildings and extensive gardens designed by the Olmsted Brothers, creating a network of formal and natural spaces.
