Dorinda Medley is reopening the doors of her iconic Blue Stone Castle.
The The Real Housewives of New York alum’s 11,000-square-foot Massachusetts estate will be the center of a new Bravo reality show, according to Deadline and Entertainment Tonight .
The show is in the early stages of development and will reportedly follow a format similar to its counterparts Real Housewives unscripted series alum Lisa Vanderpump The Vanderpump Villa. Medley, 59, will supervise the young staff as they welcome guests to the facility. PEOPLE has reached out to Bravo for comment.
The 18-acre property was purchased in 2005 by Medley’s late husband, Richard Medley, who died in 2011 of liver failure.

Richard bought the house as a wedding present for Medley, whose grandparents helped build it.
“Even as a kid I had champagne tastes and caviar dreams. I’d walk by with my dad and say, ‘I’m going to have this house one day,’ and he’d say, ‘Of course you do, princess,'” Medley said. Architectural Digest in April 2020.
After Richard’s death, the mansion became something Medley wasn’t sure she would ever keep.
“I never thought I would keep Blue Stone Manor as long as I have,” she told PEOPLE in December 2023.

“After [my late husband] Richard passed, I was confident that I would sell it. My mother said: ‘Wait a year! Don’t do anything while you’re in this state,’ she said. So I really thought I’d get rid of him, because for me Blue Stone Manor was something I bought with Richard and a place for Richard to retire to.”
“I never thought I’d be living here alone. I just didn’t see a place for it in my day-to-day life after his death,” Medley said.
The Tudor-style house is shown in several seasons RHONY and was the setting for the second season The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Ex-Wives Club, with Medley as host.
