Nestled amidst three acres of meticulously manicured grounds, the Northern California abode of tech titan Eric Schmidt and philanthropist wife Wendy is a study in elegance. With its nods to classic European design, the sprawling main house exudes a graceful grandeur, with generously scaled rooms flooded in natural light and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. One can’t help but be transported to the finest estates of the French countryside or Italian villas of yore, yet with a distinctly Californian embrace of the region’s idyllic climate and natural beauty.
The thoughtfully designed guesthouse provides an ideal hosting and entertaining space, with a sprawling lawn anchored by a substantial outdoor fireplace on one end and a gently cascading water feature on the other. Lush gardens crown the upper lot, centered around an ornate conservatory imported from across the pond, creating a serene botanical oasis. Each carefully selected tree and mature plant specimen adds to the biodiversity, turning the grounds into a true naturalist’s paradise right in the heart of Silicon Valley.
The couple has listed the 5-bed, 8-bath, 5,265 sq. ft. Northern California compound for $24.5 million. For the right buyer, it’s a chance to own a pedigreed property and redefine what a legacy estate in Atherton can be.
Eric Schmidt’s net worth is north of $24 billion, per Forbes.
