This gated estate is a slice of heaven, surrounded by mountains and a view of San Francisco Bay. Designed by talented local architect Sandy Walker, the 1994 build takes advantage of the sun’s rays via a 30-foot atrium and a 20-foot skylight.
The main sleep space is on the first level and includes an en suite bath, separate office, fireplace, and wraparound decks. The bathroom is equipped with a sauna, steam shower, and a soaking tub with views of the trees and mountains.
The property also has an infinity pool and large pool deck, as well as a three-car garage and gardens for strolling. Hiking trails are close at hand as are the city by the Bay (via a drive over the Golden Gate Bridge), Stinson Beach, and downtown Mill Valley.
The Hearst company was founded by William Randolph Hearst in 1887. The senior Hearst is credited with creating the country’s biggest newspaper chain. He also built one of the state’s most famous homes, Hearst Castle, in San Simeon, CA.
Hearst III, who is 74, has continued in his grandfather’s footsteps as the media company’s current chairman of the board and has been a company director for more than three decades.
Today, the Hearst corporation is one of the biggest media and information companies in the U.S., with business in magazines, television, radio, cable networks, and digital properties.
