While Dorinda's co-stars live in amazing apartments and fans see the housewives living in some incredible Hamptons houses, there are many reasons why this home has stood out the most. Keep reading to find out the truth about Dorinda Medley's insane property Blue Stone Manor and why so many RHONY fans love it so much.
Everything We Know About Blue Stone Manor
Dorinda Medley's high net worth definitely means that she lives in luxury and that includes her amazing house.
Dorinda Medley's Berkshires house Blue Stone Manor is 11,000 square feet and according to Architectural Digest, it dates back to 1902. Fans have definitely been envious of the cast of RHONY since they have been able to hang out so much at Dorinda's house. It always looks absolutely fantastic.
Blue Stone Manor has a fascinating history that RHONY fans might not know about.
Richard, Dorinda's husband who sadly passed away in 2011, decide that getting Blue Stone Manor in 2005 would be a great wedding present for his wife and it definitely seems perfect.
Dorinda wanted to live in the home when she was growing up and she told the publication, “Even as a kid I had Champagne tastes and caviar dreams. I would drive by with dad and say, ‘I’m gonna own this house one day,’ and he would say, ‘Of course you are, princess.’”
When Richard purchased the home, it was super special as Dorinda's great-grandpa and grandpa worked in masonry and they actually worked on this house.
According to The Sun, Blue Stone Manor has seven bathrooms, seven bedrooms, and it's on 18 acres. The kitchen is particularly incredible with a huge island and impressive stove.
In an interview with People, Dorinda Medley said that she sometimes thinks that Richard's spirit is at Blue Stone Manor and that it feels like "a guardian angel." She said that thinking about that makes her feel content.
Fans have watched a lot of fun events at Blue Stone Manor on RHONY and Dorinda told E! News that she especially enjoys decorating the house for the October 31st holiday.
Dorinda said, "Halloween is actually my favorite holiday, it's my dirty little secret, but I mean I love Christmas too. What I love about Halloween is you can really have all your fantasies come out and you can really create these things. For Halloween, you can really theme it out and make people believe that you've created another world."
There was a flood at Blue Stone Manor a few years ago, according to Bravo TV. Dorinda said that she attended the baby shower for Andy Cohen's little one and her mom told her that there was a problem with her house.
Dordina explained, "I had seven feet of water. It was like, oh my god. The house literally was crystallized because all the water had gone through the walls and stuff. The heat went off and there was no light, no electricity."
Dorinda Rented Out Blue Stone Manor
Fans could book Blue Stone Manor on Airbnb in August 2021.

According to Page Six, fans were able to stay at the house on August 23rd, 24th, and 25th.
Dorinda explained to the publication, “Let me tell you, when they first approached me, of course, I was like — well, first of all, there is something magical about Blue Stone Manor. It’s almost like an urban legend. People think I’m like Cinderella in that castle you see at Disneyland. Like, I don’t think people really get it’s real."
