Peek Inside the Rhinebeck Estate Purchased by Google Founder
A $2.2 million estate was recently purchased by the former CEO of Google, and it's full of historic details.
Eric Schmidt, who already owns a nearby mansion that was the site of Chelsea Clinton's wedding, reportedly purchased the property. The Daily Catch says the sale closed in August, but ownership was just transferred last week. Schmidt is also the owner of a small, nearby airport.
The home on River Road in Rhinebeck was once owned by the Astor family, and even includes the 14-car garage that was used by John Jacob Astor IV, who perished on the Titanic. The house sits on 12.39 acres of land and features several outbuildings, including a former icehouse and slaughterhouse.
