It's been all over the news for the past few days. The most expensive single family home ever sold in the United States was recently purchased by Russian billionaire Yuri Milner for $100 million dollars.



Yuri Milner, 49, heads Digital Sky Technologies is a major investor in Facebook Inc., Groupon Inc. and Zynga Inc. He is also the stocky founder of DST, a Moscow-based fund that's made a splash in Silicon Valley via its investments.



The 25,500 square foot home in Silicon Valley's Los Altos hills is a limestone French-style chateau with indoor and outdoor swimming pools, tennis court and pavilion, a ballroom, a library, a gameroom, a theater and wine cellar.

The home, referred to as the Loire Chateau, sits atop an 18-acre hilltop site with panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay. The classical estate was inspired by an 18th-century French Chateau and is organized around a central entry court enclosing a formal entrance on three sides. The north wing is designed for entertaining on a grand scale, with a ballroom, formal dining room, home theater, wine cellar and spa/gym, while the south wing houses family rooms and bedroom suites. The living areas are all located on the second floor to take advantage of the dramatic Bay views.

Out Of Reach Real Estate. A $29 Million Dollar Marin Home For Sale.

Most of us, heck... just about every single one of us, can only dream about a house like this. Unless you make a habit of browsing the luxury real estate magazines, few are even aware that a home like this exists, let alone could consider it for purchase.




Presently for sale, offered by Decker Bullock Sothebys International Realty, this 8,000 sq. foot contemporary home and guest house has views to die for from almost every room in the house, except maybe the wine cellar.





Located in Belvedere, just north of San Francisco, the very private, park-like resort is sited on possibly the best water-level parcel in Northern California. Designed by award-wining architects, it weaves along its approximate 220 ft of shoreline, fully integrated with the surrounding natural & man-made beauty.




Facing due south west, the unobstructed and expansive views span the Mount Tamalpais [aka Mt. Tam] ridgeline to the west, through the Bay Bridge to the east, and across the bay to the Sausalito harbor, the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco skyline.





Located on approximately 1.2 acres with 7,900 square feet of view-oriented interior space, the main residence comprises 5 large bedrooms & 5.5 baths, and the separate guest house offers an additional 2 bedrooms and 1 bath.







Views of sunrises, sunsets, and the moon reflecting on the bay waters are accompanied by the calls of the seals and sea gulls. Graceful pelicans glide by the windows, and the ever-changing living-mural of sea life can be watched from the living room.



This destination-home sits alone in its class at the end of the street and can be yours for $28,850,000 USD. If you buy it, let me know. I want to come stay in the guest house.
