    A 25-Acre Bay Area Estate Once Owned by a Co-Founder of Intel Just Listed for $30 Million

    by

    For decades, the late Intel co-founder Gordon Moore and his wife, Betty, enjoyed life at a secluded property in the sleepy Northern California town of Woodside. Just 20 minutes from the San Francisco airport but surrounded by redwood groves, heritage orchards, and private trails, the permanently protected estate is now being looked after by the Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST). But it could be yours for $29.5 million.

    Known as Mountain Meadow, the 25-acre spread has come to market for the first time since 1991, with Hugh Cornish of Coldwell Banker Realty and Erika Demma of Compass holding the listing. The English manor–style home was commissioned in 1927 as the first residential work by the architect Gardner Dailey, and the entire property was renovated from 1992 to 1994, with an additional exterior refresh taking place from 2007 to 2011.

    The spiral staircase in the office is a standout feature of the home.

    “Mountain Meadow was a refuge for the Moore family, a place of peace, and reflection and a deep connection to the rich landscape of the San Francisco Bay Area,” Eric Normington of POST said in a statement. “It is ready for a new steward who shares the Moores’ love of the natural world and who embraces this rare opportunity to become a part of the property’s unique legacy.” 

    An imposing mile-long driveway deposits you at the main residence, where the foyer opens to an old-school elevator. These sorts of vintage touches are found throughout: There’s a restored servant’s call button system and a butler’s pantry with a historic vault in which early owners stored their silver, jewelry, and china. An eye-catching spiral staircase in the warm wood office is another standout feature (it takes you up to a loft space), while the family room has a drop-down cinema screen for movie nights.

    Elsewhere in the six-bedroom, seven-bath home are five fireplaces—including in a couple of the bedrooms—and a temperature-controlled wine cellar. The ’90s reno added a spacious guest house with another four bedrooms and three bathrooms, plus a full kitchen and a covered deck.

    Early owners used the vault in the butler’s pantry to store silver and other valuables.

    With so much outdoor space, the grounds are really the highlight here. The century-old gardens, designed by the landscape architect Bruce Porter, who also worked on the nearby Filoli estate, include a year-round creek that runs beneath a storybook bridge. Paths throughout the property take you past heritage rose gardens and a one-acre apple orchard.

    Further creature comforts: a Thomas Church–designed pool accompanied by a cabana with changing rooms, a 12-car garage with more than enough room for handy homeowners to keep a workshop, a tennis court, and a greenhouse to develop your green thumb.

      Rob Zombie’s Two-House Compound in L.A. Can Be Yours for $9 Million

      by

      A pair of 1950s properties in Los Angeles long owned by heavy-metal musician and horror film director Rob Zombie (born Robert Bartleh Cummings) have simultaneously popped up for sale. Consisting of two side-by-side residences in the Laurel Canyon neighborhood of Hollywood Hills crafted by architect Robert “Boulder” Thorgusen, the asking price for the entire compound is $9 million. The midcentury-modern homes are also listed individually by Rick Tyberg and Lauren Duffy of Douglas Elliman for $5.6 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

      Tucked away behind a shared gated driveway, the charcoal-hued dwellings were acquired in two separate deals by Zombie and his actress wife Sheri Moon Zombie. The couple purchased the smaller abode almost a decade ago for $2.5 million and subsequently picked up the bigger place next door in early 2018 for $4.5 million. Together, the dual-parcel spread sits on just over seven tree-laced acres originally designed by noted landscape architect Garrett Eckbo.

      9029 Hollywood Hills Road features moody living spaces and a lap pool flanked by a wood deck.

      Containing a little more than 2,300 square feet with two bedrooms and an equal number of baths on a single level, the smaller home (above) was built in 1953 and boasts a folded roof, slate-clad floors, and walls of glass. Fronted by artistic spiked fencing and a pie-pan carport, the abode’s interiors are highlighted by a soaring living room donning the original raised-hearth fireplace, a dining area, and an eat-in kitchen outfitted with top-tier Miele and Gaggenau appliances.

      Elsewhere is a fireside primary suite flaunting clerestory windows and a bath equipped with a freestanding soaking tub and a walk-in shower. An adjacent bedroom opens directly onto a garden, with the rest of the woodsy grounds hosting a raised spa and a lap pool flanked by a wood sundeck.

      9031 Hollywood Hills Road has light-filled interiors and a pool that flows beneath the house.

      As for the larger of the two houses (above), which also features the same dramatic folding roofline, the late 1950s structure has three bedrooms and three baths filtered across 4,100 square feet of split-level living space accented with expansive skylights. Custom light boxes throughout are designed to “enhance mood, depth, and ambience,” per the listing.

      A pool flows beneath the post-and-beam residence, while curated lounging and entertaining areas are joined by a secluded primary suite that comes with French doors spilling out to a private terrace and a two-way fireplace that connects to a spa-like bath sporting a built-in soaking tub and glassy corner shower. An adjoining flex space could be used as a studio, an office, or a gallery, while an alfresco dining area, a fire pit, a cascading waterfall, and a two-vehicle carport can also be found on the premises.

      Playwright Noel Coward’s $10.3 Million Former Connecticut Estate Overlooks the Long Island Sound

      by

      A Connecticut estate with ties to film and theater royalty has just hit the market for $10.3 million.

      Dubbed Pebbles, the Fairfield property was designed in 1927 by the architect Francis Hamilton. Later on, the English playwright Noël Coward and his partner John C. Wilson, a Broadway producer, owned the stately spread, and over the years, several stars of screen and stage used Pebbles as a summer getaway, including Laurence Olivier, Vivien Leigh, and Richard Rodgers. Wendy Ryan and Andrew Whiteley at Brown Harris Stevens hold the listing.

      Picture windows surround the dining room, looking out on the water.

      Brown Harris Stevens

      The six-bedroom, nine-bath Georgian Revival mansion sits on almost three acres with views of the Long Island Sound and Manhattan skyline. Over the years, it’s been both carefully maintained and updated by a lineage of owners, meaning that classic details are paired with modern-day features. Off the foyer are both a formal living room and a more casual family room, both with wood-burning fireplaces. The large eat-in kitchen is done up with stark white cabinetry, while the adjacent dining area is surrounded by picture windows that look out toward the water.

      The bedrooms are all located upstairs, with yet another fireplace found in the primary suite. Here, you can also relax in the bathroom’s soaking tub or kick back in the private lounge. The home’s basement level, meanwhile, has been turned into a rec room, offering plenty of space for children or adults to play.

      A wood-burning fireplace sits opposite the bed in the primary suite.

      Brown Harris Stevens

      Out back, ample green space surrounds the pool, which can be seen in the 1968 film The Swimmer, starring Burt Lancaster. A couple of garden plots are scattered around. One is centered around a fountain, while another has more of a southwestern, desert vibe. Manicured hedges line the walkways and the perimeter of the lot.

      A little more than 50 miles north of Midtown Manhattan, Fairfield has long been a favored commuter suburb of New York City. With easy access to both nature and the beach, it offers the best of the city and country. The town is also known for some pretty spectacular homes. To wit: a $7 million mansion inspired by the Vanderbilt family’s Shelburne Farms estate in Vermont and built by architect Jack Franzen for the late businessman Mickey Herbert.

      An L.A. Home With Ties to Leonardo DiCaprio and Adrian Grenier Can Now Be Yours for $25 Million

      by

      Though its coveted Bird Streets locale high above the Sunset Strip is indeed impressive, perhaps the most intriguing thing about this place is its Tinseltown ties. Not only does the posh pad just happen to sit right next door to a vast multimillion-dollar compound owned by Leonardo DiCaprio, it also has the added cachet of having served as the home of Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier) during the fourth season of the popular HBO show Entourage.

      Canadian businessman Stan Bharti last picked up the estate from hospitality mogul Sam Nazarian as part of a clandestine off-market deal in 2011 for $14.5 million, with the property selling in just a week due to the unusual concierge service perks that went with it. Now the contemporary structure has popped up on the market again for a speck under $25 million, with James Harris, David Parnes, and Kris Everett of Bond Street Partners at Carolwood Estates sharing the listing.

      Spanning 6,300 square feet, with a trio of bedrooms and half a dozen baths spread across three levels, the snazzy villa rests on a hillside parcel of nearly an acre and offers sweeping city lights and ocean vistas from almost every vantage point. A gated entry with water features opens to the all-white house, which has an attached three-car garage and private street parking that can accommodate several more vehicles.

      A latticed screen hides the glassy front door, which pivots into a double-height entry foyer donning a transparent floor and a floating staircase. From there, the living room boasts a TV nook off to the side. Walls of glass also spill out to an alfresco entertaining balcony, which overlooks an amenity-filled backyard hosting a Viking-equipped kitchen, a sunken fire pit, a mirrored bar with a craft beer dispenser, and a curvaceous infinity-edge pool with a raised spa.

      The backyard is spotlighted by a curving infinity-edge pool and an elevated spa.

      Other highlights include a formal dining room and a piano lounge with a fireplace and bar, as well as a sleek kitchen outfitted with a marble-clad island, top-tier Miele appliances, and a butler’s pantry. The top-floor primary suite is another standout, flaunting a fireplace, a separate office, and a luxe bath holding a wet room with a soaking tub and steam shower, while the lower level features a bar and lounge leading to a movie theater that opens to the outdoors.

      Bharti, founder of the Toronto-based merchant bank Forbes & Manhattan, recently sold a waterfront Florida mansion on North Bay Road in Miami Beach that was originally listed for $42.5 million. He acquired the glitzy estate from chicken restaurant magnate Christian de Berdouare and his former TV journalist wife Jennifer Valoppi in 2021 for nearly $30 million.

      Copper Artwork Embellishes This $21 Million Miami Home on Biscayne Bay

      by

      Just a month after listing another of his South Florida properties, local businessman David Wallack, the founder of South Beach’s premier salsa nightclub Mango’s Tropical Café, has brought to market a $20.9 million estate in Miami‘s historic Morningside neighborhood just north of the Design District.

      Whispering Pines, as the bayside spread is called, comprises a 5,400-square-foot abode featuring custom copper artwork on both the exterior and interior and lush tropical gardens valued at $1 million. Jill Eber of the Jills Zeder Group at Coldwell Banker Realty holds the four-bedroom, three-bath listing. “Whispering Pines is magical and stands apart with its flexibility and development potential,” Eber said in a statement. “This property holds immense appeal, blending exquisite natural beauty and redevelopment potential into one truly rare offering.”

      The walls are clad in glossy wood paneling and the fireplace is framed by coral stone in the living room.

      Jill Eber/1 Oak Studios

      Wallack commissioned the artist Kim Brandell to create the sculpted copper artwork that runs like a frieze across the top of the home and also appears throughout the home’s interior and exterior spaces. Beyond the elaborate, palm-tree-adorned copper gates, you’ll pass a meditation garden, koi pond, and waterfall before arriving at the main residence. Mirroring the materials used outside, the formal living room sports inlaid marble floors, glossy wood paneling, and a wood-burning fireplace framed by coral stone. The kitchen is anchored by a granite island, and the dining room is surrounded by mahogany sliding-glass doors that open to the pool deck. Elsewhere are a casual den and a sound-controlled music studio.

      A Brazilian cherry-wood floor with custom stone insets is found in the primary suite, where the bed sits opposite a freestanding copper fireplace. The accompanying bathroom has dual sinks and a sunken spa tub topped by a mosaic skylight. Two additional guest bedrooms are located in the main house, with another in the private guest cottage that dates back to 1925. 

      A treehouse facing the bay includes a lounge bed.

      Jill Eber/1 Oak Studios

      One of just 13 bayfront parcels in the neighborhood, Whispering Pines presides over 125 premium feet of Biscayne Bay frontage, where there’s a 500-square-foot Ipe boat dock plus an additional docking area with an electric boat davit. Other outdoor areas are perfect for taking advantage of the bay views, too: you can relax in the shade under a 140-year-old Indonesian gazebo or have a nap (or even spend the night) in a treehouse outfitted with a lounge bed. Centered around an oval swimming pool, the coral stone deck includes a custom-built wet bar and a decked-out summer kitchen for entertaining.

      Wallack debuted Mango’s Tropical Café in 1991, and the South Beach restaurant/nightclub now has a secondary location in Orlando. The Sunshine State entrepreneur listed his 14-acre Redland spread earlier this year for $19 million.

      Reality Star Hannah Brown Celebrated Her Bachelorette Party at This $9.4 Million Florida Home

      by

      Model and author Hannah Brown rose to fame as the looking-for-love star of The Bachelorette’s 15th season. While her time on the reality TV show didn’t lead to a relationship of everlasting love, Brown just celebrated her real-life bachelorette weekend in high style on the Gulf Coast of Florida.

      Heading into her upcoming nuptials, the TV personality and her closest friends holed up at Pura Vida, a $9.4 million estate in Seagrove Beach offered by the vacation-rental company Natural Retreats. The seven-bedroom, eight-bath Florida property is part of the group’s Alaya Collection, managed by 360 Blue. Nightly rates range from $2,250 to $3,800 during the offseason and $3,800 to $6,000 during peak season.

      The coastal kitchen includes a five-seat breakfast bar.

      Layne Lillie

      The three-story home is ideal for large group getaways in the spirit of Brown’s bachelorette party. The second floor serves as the main entertaining space. Hardwood floors and soaring ceilings are found in the living room, which sports a 75-inch TV perfect for movie nights. The kitchen is done up in coastal blue and gold tones, with a walk-in pantry and a breakfast bar. The formal dining room can seat up to 10, and there’s a nearby deck set up for alfresco dining as well.

      The third floor contains two deluxe primary suites, while the additional bedrooms are found on the ground level and in a detached carriage house. In total, Pura Vida can sleep a total of 22 people. 

      The private pool is surrounded by seating areas for lounging and alfresco dining.

      Layne Lillie

      The residence sits right on the sand with endless views across the water, and, during the high season, rental charges include a complimentary beach setup every morning, with chairs and umbrellas. The private pool, meanwhile, can be heated up during the cooler months. Out back you’ll also find an outdoor kitchen, an outdoor shower, and several seating areas for breaking off into smaller groups. Additional amenities include a bocce court and a putting green on site, plus beach cruisers that allow you to explore the neighborhood on two wheels.

      Along with the home itself, 360 Blue offers concierge services and guest experiences for those staying at their properties. During your visit, the company can help coordinate in-home cooking classes and massages or set up a private yacht charter or a yoga class on the beach. During Brown’s trip over Memorial Day Weekend, for example, Natural Retreats welcomed her group with plush robes and a charcuterie spread.

      Singer Leona Lewis Just Listed Her L.A. Home With Sweeping Views for $4 Million

      by

      A little more than four years after British singer and songwriter Leona Lewis scooped up a Spanish-style villa with picturesque views framing the entire Los Angeles Basin, the X Factor winner best known for the 2007 hit Bleeding Love has decided to part ways with her home in the steep hills high above Studio City, asking a speck under $4 million. Benjamin Stewart-Kruger of Carolwood Estates holds the listing.

      Previously owned by controversial YouTube celebrity Shane Dawson, who put the place on the market in 2019 after he and husband Ryland Adams bought a mansion farther out in the suburbs, it sold in May of that year for $2 million to fashion exec Maria Tomei Borromeo. She proceeded to completely renovate the spread before flipping it to Lewis and her choreographer-turned-entrepreneur husband Dennis Jauch in 2021 for $2.6 million.

      The living room features panoramic views framed by a glass curtain wall.

      Originally built in the early 1950s and thoughtfully enhanced by Lewis during her tenure, the creamy stucco and terracotta-roof structure is hidden away behind a lengthy gated driveway. Inside, three bedrooms and four baths are spread across almost 2,300 square feet of multi-level living space boasting a mix of stone and wide-plank French oak floors, arched doorways, and whitewashed wood-beam ceilings dotted with skylights. Walls of glass also offer up a look at the sweeping vistas across the San Fernando Valley from almost every vantage point.

      Standing out is a fireside living room lined with folding steel-framed doors spilling outside. A dining area adjoins a green-hued kitchen spotlighted by marble countertops, a glass-tiled backsplash, a farmhouse sink, and high-end stainless appliances, while a cozy den has a winding staircase that heads up to a treehouse-like primary suite sporting a corner fireplace, a walk-in closet, and a bath equipped with a Victoria + Albert soaking tub.

      An updated kitchen with mint-green cabinetry and a tiled backsplash connects to a breakfast nook.

      The undeniable star of the show is the recently redesigned grounds, which are laced with fruit trees and drought-tolerant plants and host an enclosed courtyard holding a saltwater pool and an inset spa surrounded by a Saltillo-tiled terrace, plus a fire pit, an outdoor kitchen, and multiple seating areas. A detached two-car garage on the nearly third-acre premises that Lewis used as a recording studio could easily be converted into an office or a gym.

      Born and raised in London, the Grammy-nominated performer first achieved national acclaim in 2006 after winning the third season of the TV talent show X Factor. She subsequently released the hit single Bleeding Love and went on to record the official I See You theme song for the sci-fi film Avatar. Aside from her music career, she has also dabbled in acting and co-owns two vegan coffee shops in L.A.

      Emma Stone Seeks $26.5 Million for Her Unfinished Austin Estate

      by

      Emma Stone’s Texas-sized dream home has hit the market before she’s even had a chance to move in. The Oscar-winning actress and her producer-director husband Dave McCary have just put their sprawling, not-quite-finished estate in Austin’s tony Tarrytown neighborhood, one of the city’s most exclusive enclaves, up for grabs at a cool $26.5 million. 

      Purchased back in 2021, the couple had big plans for the 1.25-acre spread, bringing in the award-winning firm Cuppett Kilpatrick to reimagine the historic estate. Fast-forward to today, and the couple’s plans have changed. While finishing touches are still in progress (it’s scheduled for completion this summer), the installed updates already make it one of the most compelling homes on the Austin market.

      Tucked into a leafy, oak-shaded street just a half mile from Lady Bird Lake’s Walsh Boat Landing, the compound comprises a stately four-bedroom main residence built of Georgian-style masonry, a garage topped by a screening room and entertaining space, and a fully appointed two-bedroom guesthouse—because in Texas, bigger really is better.

      The kitchen has unvarnished oak floors and glossy tile backsplashes embellished with a floral design.

      Inside, it’s all about timeless elegance. Think herringbone oak and brick floors, creamy marble fireplace surrounds, arched doorways, and custom millwork so intricate it took a year to install in the screening room alone. The interiors offer both grand and gracious spaces for large-scale entertaining and cozy corners for quiet evenings in. A paneled library, sun-filled solarium, and playroom add charm and versatility, while a screened breezeway spills out to the pool.

      The landscape is equally lush, with everything from fairy and cutting gardens to wide swaths of lawn and water features that lend to the feeling of being ensconced in a bucolic country retreat but in the heart of ATX.

      Why sell now, before they’ve even had a chance to put their shoes in the closet? According to Eric Moreland of Moreland Properties/Forbes Global Properties, who holds the listing together with colleague Diane Humphreys, the couple’s East Coast business ventures have grown since they began the renovation, making a permanent move to Texas less practical, he explained to the Wall Street Journal. That said, their design choices here reflect an eye for legacy. “This is a home that will stand the test of time,” Moreland added. 

      Stone certainly has a sharp eye for real estate. Last year she sold her L.A. home for $4.3 million, $2 million more than she paid five years earlier, and in 2022 she took in a million-dollar profit on the sale of a Malibu residence that went for just over $4.4 million. While Stone and McCary may be heading back to New York, where she still owns a $3.6 million apartment she picked up back in 2018, they’ve left behind a Texas treasure for the right buyer willing to pick up where they left off in Austin.

      Julia Roberts’s Former Hawaii Hideaway Can Be Yours for $30 Million

      by

      Always wanted to live out your very own Pretty Woman fantasy—albeit one that involves idling away your days at a tropical beachfront retreat in Hawaii as opposed to a posh Beverly Hills hotel? You’re in luck, because a blissful estate that Oscar-winning actress Julia Roberts once called home has just popped up for sale on Kauai’s magical North Shore in the remote town of Hā‘ena, asking a dash under $30 million. Neal Norman of Hawaii Life holds the listing.

      With a main home and a guest cottage offering up a total of four bedrooms and four baths in nearly 3,150 square feet, the secluded residence has plenty of room for any like-minded dreamer to eat, pray, love, and more while enjoying some particularly stunning ocean and mountain views. Famously owned by the Oscar-winning actress and her longtime cinematographer husband Danny Moder for more than a decade, records show the ranch-style property was last sold to an entity linked to a Miami-based LLC in 2020 for around $20 million.

      A spacious great room spills out to a covered lanai with picturesque views of the Pacific.

      Tucked away off a private road on three contiguous parcels that total 8.3 acres and offer 400 feet of ocean frontage on pristine Limahuli Beach, the three-bedroom, three-bath primary dwelling was built in 1970. Remodeled during Roberts’s tenure by the San Francisco architecture firm Walker Warner, it comes complete with rustic hardwood floors, soaring exposed-beam ceilings bolstered by steel tie bars, wood-paneled walls, and vast expanses of glass, plus new solar panels.

      Upon entry, an open-concept great room features a living room, a dining area, and a kitchen boasting a butcher block-topped eat-in island that seats up to four for casual meals and an accompanying workstation. French doors lead out to a covered lanai. The primary bedroom sports a spa-like bath with a large oval soaking tub and access to an outdoor shower, and one of the guest bedrooms has been converted into a gym.

      An infinity pool overlooks the towering, cathedral-like green peak of Makana Mountain.

      In addition to a detached one-bedroom, one-bath guest cottage, the alluring grounds also host a 490-square-foot infinity pool integrated into a wood sundeck, along with landscaped gardens, a running stream, and plenty of grassy spots suited to alfresco lounging and dining. An added bonus: The retreat is adjacent to protected land that includes Hā‘ena State Park and the National Tropical Botanical Garden.

      Roberts and Moder acquired the Limahuli Beach spread in June 2009 for $10 million, and they previously owned another Kauai property, a charming compound on Hanalei Bay they bought in late 2011 for $13.3 million and offloaded to Michael Fleiss, creator of ABC’s The Bachelor, in 2016 for $16.2 million.
