About This Home

As of July 2017

HUGE PRICE REDUCTION!! SELLERS VERY MOTIVATED!
Spectacular compound originally built by actress Marion Davies, the well known mistress of William Randolph Hearst. This 10 bedroom 11 bathroom estate has nearly 14,000 sf of living space and sits on 2.77 acres directly across from the 175 acre Annenberg site. Upon her death the property was sold to the owner of Trader Vic's who sold it to the present owner in 1996. The original structure built by Marion Davies still stands, though it was upgraded and added to what is now its' current state. The property includes a pond and waterfall in the front, a full tennis court and a pool.

The property shows beautifully and is presently maintained by several full time employees. The structure will need some upgrading to bring the interior space to 2016 standards, thus the pricing reflects that. This is a once in a decade opportunity to own a magnificent property with historical significance.
