Sometimes, fairytales do come true – and that’s certainly the case in Lee, Massachusetts, at the historic and whimsical Santarella Estate. The sprawling property, which features three different structures straight out of Rumpelstiltskin, provides a charming backdrop for getaways and weddings alike.

The origins of the home date back to the founding of the town, then called Tyringham. The community was established in 1739, and the colonial home on the property was built shortly afterwards. Over time, residents would alter and add to the magical setting to achieve what we see today.

The most notable of those residents was Sir Henry Hudson Kitson, an English sculptor known for his depictions of the Lexington Minutemen and the Plymouth Rock Maiden. He developed the property as his studio space, and it evolved into an artwork of its own.
